My Sister is coming to visit me. I have not seen her in about 25 yrs. We did not grow up together. She has the same dad as me. I want to give her something extra special as a gift from me to her , for her to remember me by. Any ideas?

i think this is nice of u. but i think what ever u give her she will like. just go and have fun together and just get to know each other. find out what she likes. and before she leaves then give her something special. then u will know. have fun enjoy her company.

Make a photo album of you and your family as a kid growing up...all the good times you missed not growing up together...write some little notes and things about the moments so she can kind of get an idea of what it might have been like. Put in your own special thoughts, notes, cards, trivia, about your separate families, of her and how you might see you and her progressing in the future as sisters/friends. Add your friends, pets, favorite things...etc. Put little notes about yourself and your dreams. Let her get to know you a little bit that way. Then enjoy being with her and making new experiences with her!

Ther are lots of keepsakes out the that have "Sister" on them, or have a cute saying on them, or go to a store like Rememberances and have something made.
A scrapbook of your family is a cute idea, something to take home with her, so she feels like she is a part of your life. Do you have a husband and kids? Include them in the book, maybe your father and mother, the dog, a picture of where you live, the car, anything that will immerse her in your life, a crash couse in who you are. Pictures of the kids when they were born, your wedding.
Do you craft something? A handmade keepsake is especially nice. Does she collect something? A personalized collectable is nice.
Have a nice visit.

i think since you are meeting your sister after 25 whole years the best thing that i could think of is some quality time with her, maybe you could go out shopping, or to the movies, do things that would involve the both of you and maybe when it is time for her to leave again, give her an album with pictures of all the good times you'll had together...........thats what i would have done

Well it would be nice if you just give a gift that you made like being personal. WHy not like a picture frame with both of your pictures when you were still young... or anything that would remind you of your childhood days.
If not something that she would eventually be wearing like a locket with both of your pics on it.

Get her a Personalized picture frame and put a cute picture of when you were kids in it. You can get them at Personalization Mall. Also, if you use that store you can grab a $10 off coupon at http://www.007coupons.com/Gifts---Flowers/PersonalizationMall-com-Coupons/

If you by chance have a picture of you and her together when you were little, have it blown up larger and frame it make 2 one for you also then tell her you have one to remember her by to.

Yes, a couple of old pictures of you and her as kids and maybe your Dad in a nice frame.

How about a locket with a picture of you in it--then she will have a place to put a picture of her, if she wants. That is something nice.
