That there is a lovely rich cartoon brown. Mine is not really brown but not really blonde either. Mouse.

Mine's the same, which is why I dye it. It's been blonde for a while, but it's growing out, so I'll probably have to dye it again soon. In the last year it's been pink and turquoise and it was dyed red before that. I might go back to red, since it's a colour that fares really nicely over my natural hair colour.

I do the same except it ends up matching my version pretty closely because Hollywood is just that predictable.

does she like art. you could buy her some folk art from collectives in developing countries which aren't very expensive, I know of one eBay shop in particular which sells huichol bead art from artisans in Jalisco which is legit. you can get beautiful beaded necklaces which has incredible artistic and cultural significance for under us$20 and they ship for free. if she's interested in learning or already knows about indigenous american cultures she would likely appreciate it

otherwise if you're interested in diy stuff I might be able to help you if you can tell us what her hobbies or interests are. the christmas diy thread is up in the diy hobby forum because the natives are reticent about gbs, so we could help you there as well. there isn't a huge crossover in this thread and diy

or if you're really poor, bottlecaps are also cheap and shiny

if you decorate her bedroom with bottlecaps it will feel more luxurious, there are birds that do that and it works for them; just make sure you keep it a surprise

Handmade stuff from local artists or craftspeople is always a nice gift. There's a woman at the farmer's market here who makes the most wonderful handmade soaps, I'd be happy to receive some as a gift. My brother always gets me tea things, which is also really nice.

Depends on what your sister's interests are though, I guess

Tie him up, extract blood, put on a petri dish. Heat up a metal wire until the tip is red-hot, then put the wire into the blood.
If the wire sizzles and nothing happens, then he doesn't have one.
If the blood tries to escape, I hope you have a flamethrower.

wine's a good idea

look i'd give her all my money if i could
the money ref though is just to show what she already has compared to what i can give her even if i spent everything
i love her a lot, she's been there for me and she's the only member of my family with a shred of sanity and compassion.
her previous gifts to me include a tea making robot and an ipad. this is what i'm competing with. either of those would mean i'm not paying rent next month.

stop being mean to me :(

she lives a long way away so i only get a fuzzy view of what's she's doing most of the time
she's pretty much renovating her own house, likes really girly things, loves trips to fancy art museums and has preferences between famous painters but i can't remember which, likes anything to do with italy or the 1980's, likes making looseleaf tea so i guess maybe something from teavanna or my local shop would be nice?, ... i'm kinda of tired and spaced out, it's a bit difficult trying to pull everything out, i have the memory of a goldfish and i'm having a hard time remember all the times we talked and what she said she liked. i'm sure she'd love anything i could diy but i'm absolute crap at making anything with my hands and always will be so i'd rather just buy her something that's actually nice.

she doesn't get a lot of time to herself or to do things that would let her meet new people because she works really hard all the time and she's kinda sad about that i guess but i can't buy her that

i'll keep the beaded necklace thing and the fused glass jewelry in mind when i do the online shopping. and maybe get her some looseleaf at my local shop.

this is my philosophy but it's hard because she's really girly and finds most of the things i like confusing or horrifying, most of what i like is comparatively nerdy, gross, weird, or scary. she hated the nightmare before christmas.

Rita Repulsa, if she likes going to museums, buy her a membership to one near her. If they're accredited with AAM or a similar organization, she'll have reciprocal privileges at museums all around the country.

browsing antique or vintage jewellery on ebay works too, i've found some really lovely estate pieces for my mum for like $15 that way, like a pair of onyx and marcasite earrings from the '50s and a white aurora borealis glass bead brooch from the mid-30s. set the listings by lowest price and postage and scroll baby scroll. brooches are actually a lot more versatile than you'd think, you can wear it on your shirt, duh, but you can also use it as a scarf pin, string it on a chain to wear as a pendant, or loop a bunch of bobby pins onto the brooch pin and wear it as a barrette

enamel and resin costume brooches from the '60s and '70s last really well and are found in a shitload of deadstock and estate sales often in mint condition, so they're often very cheap on ebay. she likely doesn't have the time or has never had the inclination to troll through brooch sales on ebay, so if you can find the time that might be an option as well because sparkly brooches are loving girly and fabulous. if my phone worked i would take a picture of my collection and post it, because i am the lamest catlady femme ever :3:

good luck whatever you decide!

Worked for us, but it was a different brand that we got a few years ago. Ours used salt and water, took a little while but it dissolved. Will see which stuff I got. It was a little expensive but not ridiculous. This was back in 2005, maybe the stuff they make now is poo poo :(
