Baseball Souvenirs

I need to find out where i can get about 100 little Limoncello bottles that we can use as bomboniere at my sisters wedding. We have been to normal liquer shops but cant find the type we want.

Here is a link to what type of bottle we want:

You can always ask a liquor store to order what you want in for you. Most should be able and willing to do so.

I work at a liquor store and we do this all the time. Even if we don’t keep an item stocked because we don’t sell it or something, if a customer wants it and is willing to pay for it we’ll order it in.

You also have to make sure that the limoncello comes in small bottles or is available in your area, or you may need to change your plans.

Good luck!

I’m going to greece for spring break and I want to know what some good souvenirs are to get while i’m there.

I like to get calendars for my friends….they are light-weight and easy to pack. The photography is exquisite and high-quality, and the recipients enjoy using the calendars.

Honey is also a nice souvenir. Greece produces the best honey in the world. The problem is that u must put it in your luggage, not a carry-on, and it can be bulky and heavy..

Ouzo, for your drinking friends, is also a good choice….but again, being liquid, you may have some problems packing it. Ouzo in Greece is much cheaper than in US.

EDIT: Like butTer said, those figurines are nice also, however lately many are made in China now, so u must be careful when purchasing… Personally, I prefer to support the Greek economy rather that the Chinese one

I am taking a trip to New York City in the spring for a couple of days and I was wondering how much money I should bring to spend on food, souvenirs, etc. I was thinking about $150.00, is that too much? Just Enough?

Just on food it should be fine. When you have to buy tickets to e.g. Broadway shows, sightseeing spots etc. as well you might run out of money quickly. Bars are also quite ex. To be on the save side, its better you double your funds.

I would bring back a sports almanic with me…so i could bet on all the winners. What would you bring back with you.

Marty McFly and have him get me your book.

I have to make a scrabook on Vampire plagues book 2 and I need at least 6 souvenirs. The souvenir must fit flat in the scrapbook. I already have a pedal from a red rose, to represent a blood rose pedal. I also have a picture of mayan hieroglyphics, but what else?

snow real vamps seem to like it i guess becuse it is soemthing that is not red

We are planning on staying all inclusive at the Riu Ocho Rios. We are also planning on $500 on a few tours. Beyond that, how much should we take for souvenirs, tips, and maybe exploring a lil? I was thinking at least $500. Also, do we get traveler’s check, or utilize the safe in our room and store cash there?? Thanks!

We take a credit card for the tours, 20 one dollar bills for the tips for the bus drivers and porters and that is it.. it is why we do the all inclusive after all. The credit card has also worked at the store for a few trinkits and at the airport for more on the trip home. Remember, liquid may not be on the plane when you hit the states so be ready to pack your booze in your carry on and even that is a credit card thing at the airport.

I must confess that I’m obsessed with my husband’s ex girlfriend. The only real reason is because she’s a mystery to me. She’s the only one of his exes he refuses to discuss/disclose information about, and if we ever do talk about her (he’s let his guard down twice about her in the 4 years we’ve been together), we always end up fighting about it - as he blames me for bringing her up and him having to ‘remember her’ when he didn’t want to.

I’m happy to give him info about any of my exes, because I’m SO over them. But with her, I feel there’s something else and not knowing what it is, is killing me.

This girl was the love of his life (right before he met me), and they weren’t together that long (they were on off for about 1 1/2 years). He was even still in touch with her, and she was still fighting to get him back 3 months into OUR relationship - something I found out 2 years after we got together! He even admitted to me that he kissed her 2 months after him and I became an item!

Anyway, I can’t stop obsessing over her and for some reason I have this *need* to know what it was about her that he loved so much… because frankly, I need to understand it, and maybe once I undertand it, and it’s no longer this ‘mystery’, and I’ll finally get over it.

When I first saw pictures of this ex, I said to him (and this was before we were even a couple, we were just friends at the time) "you can do so much better than that!" I really didn’t think she was remotely pretty, and found it strange that someone as handsome as my husband (he’s a combo between Paul Rudd and Ben Affleck) would even look twice at someone like her. At that time, I was so confident within myself and actually, seeing pictures of her made me realise that getting him would be a lot easier than I thought, as even I thought I was better looking than her! Cocky I know, but she really isn’t attractive by any stretch of the imagination… or is she…

Then, finding out how much they were into each other through old letters, photos and other souvenirs which he’s kept, I started to see her in a new light. I actually started thinking she was attractive - more attractive than me, I started studying every part of her appearance (from photos) - her hair, her skin tone, her legs, her athletic physique (she runs marathons, etc), and her personality (how she expressed herself in her letters) and am now beginning to wonder what the hell he saw in me instead. It has now reached a point where I feel like I can’t measure up to his ex!

I even found her on Facebook and check her page often, looking through her photos (she has no privacy settings on them) and am very envious of her life after breaking up with my husband - she seemed to have become more successful, moved to Australia, has travelled the world, experienced new adventures (things I’ve always wanted to do but now can’t as we have a baby), was in a relationship with a guy who seems to be like a really awesome person (an Aussie surfer type, he just looks like a SUPER nice guy - we definitely have the same taste in men!), etc…. and all in all, I’m starting to find her to be this gorgeous, glowing girl, with golden hair and skin (think Giselle Bundchen’s colours - though her facial features, she’s more of a Barbara Streisand) and wish I could be the same and have the affect on my husband that she had on him.

I don’t feel like I have that same affect on him - judging from their letters to each other. He’s never said things to me like he found me "unbelievably attractive" as he has to her.. He tells me I’m beautiful, but it’s not the same as "unbelievably". He has SO many pictures of her from all the places they travelled to together in Europe. Yet, he doesn’t seem so compelled to take any pictures of me when we travel. He’s not so ‘impacted’ by my beauty - even though he tells me he thinks I’m hot and look like Salma Hayek.

They also had a LOT of passion in their relationship, whereas we are just comfortable, there isn’t much passion in ours. I don’t know if that’s a result of becoming parents, being overworked, or whatever… but I can’t shake the feeling that if he had married her, he still wouldn’t be this way with her.

I guess I’m just jealous and I’m trying not to be, by finding out more about her, in order to learn that she’s actually ‘mortal’ and ‘boring’ and nothing spectacular. Yet the more I find out about her, the more I’m seeing that she’s actually a pretty cool girl!

Also, my husband has been googling her recently… I found her name in the ‘History’ on our internet. So of course that put more fuel in the fire…

I just want to get over this and stop obsessing and I can’t seem to stop myself from checking her Facebook page. HELP!

Talking to my husband about it, is NOT an option.

Sad, confused and sick.

Before I married my husband I dated guy for a long time. We had one of those super passionate, spiritual connection relationships. We wrote the most passionate love letters, we did amazing things together - but ultimately we were really bad for each other. We were definitely in love, we were connected on a deep lasting level, but we couldn’t be kind with each other. We couldn’t be good for each other. I broke it off with him, and started seeing my now husband. Things are different. Things are better. I am much happier with my husband. We don’t have the same kind of connection sexually, or that weird spiritual like feeling connection - but I am happier. Do I still check in on the ex sometimes? Sure! Would I ever get back with him? No way! Things with my husband are more comfortable, and I am happier. I love him more. Its just that different relationships are, well, different. I don’t write the same kinds of love letters for my husband - and I wouldn’t want to. It would remind me of the ex, and my husband deserves more then just my reruns. Try to forget about it. She tried to get him back while you were together and failed. He obviously loves you very much - so try to relax. See a therapist if you need to. If you aren’t feeling as desirable, spice it up - you can inject some more passion into your relationship! Make more quality time for the two of you. If he didn’t want to be with you, he doesn’t have to be, so try to give him the benefit of the doubt, and try to stop obsessing about this girl. If he finds your creeping on her, that will definately put an odd spin on things.

The Fan Cost Index (FCI) represents the cost of four average price tickets, refreshments, and souvenirs to a sporting event. The FCIs for an idependent golf league and an independent arena football league totaled $113.51. The arena football FCI was $7.89 more then that of golf. What were the FCIs for these sports?

Let x be the amount from the arena football league and y be the amount from the golf league.

x + y = 113.51
x = y + 7.89

Solve by substitution.

x + y = 113.51
y + 7.89 + y = 113.51
2y + 7.89 = 113.51
2y = 105.62
y = 52.81

x = y + 7.89 = 52.81 + 7.89 = 60.7

ANSWER: $60.70 for the arena football league FCI and $52.81 for the golf league FCI

When I was in Shanghai, there were many stores with World Expo souvenirs and items.. I bought a great handbag.. Wish I got more stuff. Is there a website where one can order products to be shipped to the USA? I went on all the official Shanghai World Expo sites, and didn’t really see a merchandise page where you could order stuff— Thanks.

Please try www.Taobao.com which is similar to ebay. Good Luck!

okay, so before you read this you should know the basic information. I am 18 and my brother is 16. He will be turning 17 this year on July 16. My brother loves sports and has played different ones since he could walk!

Last year, my brother wanted to go to Disney World free for his birthday, but he was at camp that week and wasn’t able to do that. This year, camp is the week AFTER his birthday, so I’m planning on taking him to Disney World for two days. Since my brother loves sports so much, I was planning on staying in the all-star sports resort. We are going to the park of his choice and then spending a day at Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex (if anything is going on) and Downtown Disney.

His birthday party is going to be on July 10 and I was going to have him open up my present last. It will be a big box wrapped in Disney paper. It will have a Disney t-shirt, a Disney pin (he collects them), the movie UP, and a Disney calendar. The card will be a puzzle that says, “I hope your excited because your going to Disney World!” or something cheesy like that. Inside the card will also hold Disney park maps and the Disney tickets.

It will just be him and me at Disney World. Our parents said it is okay for me to take him.

I do have several questions though:
1) Does that surprise sound childish and stupid for a 17-year old? I don’t know how else to surprise him with this trip. I want it to be something fun that he will remember.
2) can an 18 and 17- year old stay in a Disney resort alone or do we need an adult 21 or older?
3) Approximately how much money should I take for meals and souvenirs?
4) Does Disney do anything for birthdays- besides the whole birthday button thing?
5) What are some Disney tips you would like to share with me?

I think that is an amazing idea. You’re a great sister!

Disney hotels require an 18-year-old to check-in, so you are good.

For meals, if you eat cheaply, you can do about $10 per meal, per person - that would be the counter-service meals. So build in a little cushion and you are probably talking about $150 at the cheapest for 2 days. And remember you will need snacks and stuff, too. You probably need at least $10 a day each for snacks, because a bottle of soda or water costs $2.50. And in July, it’s hot and you need to stay hydrated! Personally, I would try to bring $300. You don’t want to be standing there thinking, Boy I sure could use a water, but I don’t know if I have enough money left! If you are planning any special expensive meals, obviously more.

With the birthday button, you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes a free dessert or a little snack. Sometimes nothing. Tell the front desk at your hotel, because Disney hotels usually will leave something in your room.
