Buying presents for special birthdays

[reddragon]

It is my mum's 70th birthday this week. No one has a clue what to buy. At the weekend I found a this is your life type newspaper book so have ordered that from me, my sisters, the grand and great grandchildren. It will have newspapers from the day of her parents wedding, her birthday, wedding day, me & my sisters births and her 25th and 40th wedding anniversaries. I hope she likes it 

My dad was struggling for ideas too so I suggested a spa day for her and a friend, so being my dad he asked could I sort it and he'd pay me back  :DI have ordered vouchers for a Day Dreamer package for 2 people which is 4 hours of treatments with an aromatherapy massage, facial, manicure, pedicure and lunch. 

She is quite difficult to buy for but I am hoping I have nailed it with these, we are also 10 of us going for lunch on Sunday, so I hope she has a wonderful time this week. I will take some flowers over on the day

Sounds lovely! I don't have relatives so no one to spoil me but I'd like an Audi R8 for my 50th

reddragon that is so spooky... as I'm doing the same.

My eldest is 40 later this month and wanted something a little special, and that newspaper you mention is near the top of my list.

... are a few sites I've looked at (probably all owned by the same company, as the offerings are very similar).

I was stuck, as usual, for Xmas, trying to find something different... ended up with a 'Coronation Street Tour' for the whole family. They went in January, before the Xmas decs were taken down... all loved it... plus I've got pics of them behind the Rovers Return bar... so a present for me as well.
