I need the perfect present for a seventeen year old girl. I've used up all my good ideas on her birthday last month. Any ideas?

Does she have a charm bracelet Liv? My 16 year old niece and her friends are all into those this year. Makes it nice and easy for a gift of a charm :love:

depending how much you want to spend you could get her a gold chain with her initial on it, that might be more an 18th gift though

Yes, she has a traditional charm bracelet and a Pandora one. Thanks though, Annie. I fear I'm going to have to give her money/vouchers. She's my niece and I don't see her all the time making it more difficult to know what she likes. Appreciate your suggestion though x

Want to get a laptop. Waiting for the sales

Don't wait too long... prices are already spiking due to RAM supply crisis. So everything is about to shoot up in price. We just bought a ton of storage (SSDs) and I just bought a RAM kit for a new machine and it's already shot up another $50. Both RAM and SSD have been going up in price. It affects everything in the long run, including phones and laptops. AMD already announced price increases.

If you need any help selecting/configuring a system, just shoot me a PM (or even Discord...). But my recommendation is to buy as much as you can afford, especially in memory, if it's one of the super thin form factor laptops they don't tend to have upgradeable memory (as they are soldered to the board)... so get what you can afford even if it is upgrade able because it's about to become more way expensive than it should reasonably cost...

Oooh let us know if you find good things.

I don't need anything else atm, but I did send a small order for some HTV (vinyl for shirts). I ordered the shirt and sweater, but forgot to order the vinyl :spin: Thankfully the discount is exactly the same. I went to the mall today for a stroll. and all the shops were "extended Black Friday (lol)".

I'm putting a logo for a woman's I know who runs a very good volunteer page for our local animal control/kill shelter. When she did rescue, I adopted my chihuahua mix from her and more recently, a black lab I pulled from her list from the shelter. She does amazing work, so I wanted to do something very nice for her, so I re-vectored her logo for cutting machines and will attach them to a shirt and a sweatshirt. I'm thinking of doing a hoodie, but I'll see how this works... I haven't got a proper heat press yet because I will have to get an outlet run for it first so I just use an Easy Press (think a really big flat iron) that I just do planks with...

They're still within reason here depending on how important capacity is. 4TB Samsung 990 evo plus were $300 on Cyber Monday but are now $330. They were lower earlier in the month. I think we paid $270 for hub's machine. Smaller sizes are still affordable, especially if you go with another brand.
