Is this a nice going away gift? We have a teacher friend who is moving 3 states away

I thought that I would buy a really nice address book and have all of her (our) friends put their address in the book before we give it to her?

7. I thought everbody used iPods or blackberries or Bluetooths (teeth?) now.

Or something trendy and electronic.
People till actually write down name and addresses on paper?
How quaint.

8. yes some of us still use pencil and paper

yup

9. Excellent idea! I would add only that you should make sure it's a really, really, really nice one.

Because more than likely, since she's a professional, she already has one, so this one should be much better than what she might have gotten on her own.

I would also suggest one that can add and delete pages - like a 3-ring or a 7-ring fancy one - so she can expand it as she goes through life.

Next to your addresses when you write them, include something fun and wonderful about her, as well.

Also, a good partner to this gift would be a equally fancy guest book. Since she's moving to a new home, it's a good time to begin a guest book. I bought one for myself years ago, and every now and again I go back, and remember the rather odd cavalcade of people who have come through my doors from, I think, every continent (except Antarctica, of course); some who were friends of roommates, some people I worked with, some friends and family.

It's a wonderful record to have.
