For £9.99 you can have a rose named after anyone you like. I got one delivered to my Aunt and Uncle for their Sapphire Wedding Anniversary.

Thanks for all your suggestions . In the end i just decided to get her some nice flowers and a token present of a small jewellery box for the bits and pieces she's got. she seemed happy enough with that!

Hi, I dont know where the right place is to put this, so feel free to move it anyone.

My mum and dad are going to be 60 next year, dad in Janurary and mum in November, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas what to get them as something extra special?
Was thinking something between them? although there is a quite a few moths between their b/days, so Im bit stuck!

Any ideas greatly recieved

I surprised my hubby with a day trip to London, including a ride on the Eye and afternoon tea at the Ritz (booked beforehand). Not very money saving, but a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Hiya

There are quite a few threads of a similar nature on the Families board which might inspire you, so I'll move you across...

Good luck

I think by the age of 60 they'll have enough "stuff", so no ornaments. Perhaps a picture? What about membership of a club? What social activities do they have? If they're short of hobbies, perhaps you could suggest something and buy appropriately.......gardening........family history........rambling.......national trust membership?

Hi, not sure where the best place to post this is, so feel free to move!!

I desperatly need help/inspiration of what I can get my dad for his 60th birthday? I really want something he can keep to remind him of the day.
Price range - under £100 prefably (sp?) and I know your all going to ask what is he in to, or does he has hobbies, and no cant think of anything?! except he likes a drink - especialy wine, and enjoys the garden

Help?! lol
