What to Buy my Sister for her Birthday?

Asked by thomasr (22points) April 5th, 2010

I need some good ideas for a present…..my sister is 25 and likes

Animae, Punk Rock, Art, video games, gadgets, toys

She lives in Orange County CA so if there is anything cool to get tickets for? Any neat gadgets (her favorite is a laser pointer pen), and good art books, games, toys? Need massive amounts of ideas

looking to spend up to $100!

OK she lives with her boyfriend….art is kind of a broad suggestion, and of course she already has rock band and guitar hero….I need something out of the box that every teenager does not already own because she has everything!

Gift cards are great for those who already have everything!

25 is an adult and not a teen-ager. There are beautiful art books if you know some of her favorite painters.

A $100 iTunes gift-card. I’m out-of-the-box like that.

ahem You spelled “anime” wrong. Sorry, had to point that out. I don’t see any good shows in SoCal that are upcoming. You could buy her some manga character figurines from here. Or perhaps a lot of iTunes gift cards in pretty colors.

A Xbox 36— game is good.

If she has a PS2, buy her Persona 4. I just finished it and it is a fantastic RPG.

Buckyballs. They are the ultimate geek toy.

No good…she has a ton of video games….girt cards are the EASY way out! And she owns way too much ANIME already….need something original people!

The Small Stakes poster of a band she might like would hit the art and punk rock categories. I really like his art work. He is based in San Francisco. It will only set you back about $25 though.

Here are some shows in the LA area coming up. Bad Religion is in the area from 4/8 – 4/15.

@goodrich A Xbox 36? I don’t know what those are, how about a Xbox 360?

Give her gift cards to video game store, a book on how to draw cool types of Japanese Animae, Some cool leggings with holes or some clothes she might like, a CD of her favorite rock band, a nice video camera with cool features, a paint pallet and a canvas, and a sketch book. Sorry that’s all I got. If you liked it please select my answer as a ’‘great answer’’! Thanks

@MrsDufresne @jazmina88 They are so much fun. Honestly, think twice about getting them because your productivity will drop off completely.
