Great ideas for you, I particularly like Compulsive Quilter's suggestion. LOL

What a wonderful gift. You are a special person, it takes a big heart to care as much as you do. God bless you and your friend.

How about " I have something that you just have to read..." and then hand her an envelope with the manual in it. ;-)

Otherwise, I thought about setting it on my sewing table with a big wrapped box over it and then lifting off the box saying "Surprise!" I have the original packaging so I could just wrap it too. Keep the ideas coming. I love them! You are all so creative. |
What a generous friend you are. Maybe you could set it up in the room where she's staying. Include some sewing notions like pins, thimbles, snips, etc. Let us know what her reaction is. This should be so fun.

Suspecting she is a friend that enjoys the same passion you do; one of the things she will be excited about is sewing with you. I might set up my work space, put a work in progress out on my machine and set up her work space (her new machine and a small project.) Have her work on the small project for awhile on the gift machine but don't tell her yet. After she has used the machine and is telling you how easy it is to use, she loves it, is looking forward to upgrading hers, etc. then gift her the users manual wrapped maybe in fat quarters or something with a pretty bow and card. She will be thrilled.

What a nice idea to give someone a nice machine to work on.
I have given away my last machine and I don't think the person I gave it to even used it. |
what a beautiful, lovely thing to do... put tears in my eyes...

tinks mom has a good idea, what an awesome freind you are...she is going to be so delighted...I wish I was fly on the wall when you surprise her, her face expression I am sure will be priceless...have fun...
