I need help from the people of HL2!

Hey guys..

I figured you guys are pretty smart and wise, so I need your advice on something. My sister's wedding is coming up soon and I need to get her a wedding gift. The thing is I've been a total ass to her for the past couple of years. I've been giving her the shoulder, ignoring her, things like that. I need a gift that has great significance, something that will remind her of me.. something that says "I'm sorry!" in a way but not directly. It's like I didn't get to know her and she's leaving forever (moving out). My budget is $300.

Help please!

Thank you.

An active grenade?

They retail for pretty cheap on the black market...

Jeeze only $300, say goodbye to your sister.

You could always give her the money instead. Maybe she'll appreciate that more than a gift.

"something that will remind her of me" ..


WELL, since we don't know either of you, why are you asking here? ...which brings me to my other point. If you're trying to make up with your sister, shouldn't you try and come up with something on your own? Don't give her the money, that would be a slap in the face. Get her something thoughtful... and by thoughtful I mean the thoughts have to come from YOU, not some stranger on a messageboard.

Here is an idea, buy her her fav type of jewelery, then inside the box write her a note that explains exactly how you feel about her, how much you really do care and love her, and that you are sorry for not speaking until now. Sentimental = Good!

EDIT:

THAT IS THE IDEA!

Well.......what kinda stuff does she like?

We need a little bit to go on here.

She's moving out? How about something for her new house? Something useful and practical.

:dozey: A better relationship.

I say buy her a experiance, I think good memories are better than material things, Like if she likes driving buy here a day at a race course with a supercar or maybe if she aint afraid of heights get her a flight in a balloon or somthing.
Yeah get my drift?
And when you give her the gift make sure you say sorry for being a arse the last few years.
Good luck.

Think about if the situation was reversed, and after all that time she bought you a new computer or something to "make up". I dunno about you but personally I would be insulted. I think Jammy is on the right track, tho I would recommend sharing the experience with her.

 

[Maxi]

Buy her something that she has to use everyday, but not something everyon else would buy her... Ie and expresso/coffe maker. Or have a blacksmith make one of those things you put on doors. They are really cool.

 

[Sprafa]

I think right now he's confused with all the mixing suggestions.

Make a nice drawing

 

[Alsi]

Yeah a "better relationship"-present
Get the money and take her out - maybe a whole Week-end trip.
don't know what she likes (Muscle Cars - Ice Skating - Disneyland - Six Flags - Broadway - etc.)

So you can spend some time together and talk the things over.
Maybe this will help you to build a closer relationship.

just a little idea

:thumbs: Nice start to a better relationship, very nice.

^cant go wrong with that one^

Dont just get her a present to say sorry... you actually need to tell her you're sorry and i cant think of a better way than as mentioned above. The present doesnt have to be jewelry but the note is a must!
