Mum's 50th Ideas

madwoman85

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if you could give me some inspriation...

It is my Mum's 50th in July and I want her to have something a bit more special for her birthday...

I am doing a family party for her and doing all the food and the cake, but I am a bit stuck on what presents to get her... Any ideas?

I am thinking of having a canvas done of her 1st grandson (7 months) which will really be off him, but I am stuck on what else to do!

Your help would be gratefully received!

Thanks
Mad

Hi Mad,
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here but if you are looking for a really special gift, I make silver fingerprint jewellery (pendants, charms, bracelets, keyrings, cufflinks etc) My prices are very, very competitive. I won't post the link here but I'll PM it to you instead. Hope that's ok.

Thanks,
Julie

Hi,

My parents are 50 this year too and as I was supposed to be away my sister and I were planning on making 50 cupcakes/fairy cakes, whatever people like to call them, and arranging them to make a '5' and a '0'. That will be a shock to them! :rotfl:

I was also planning on doing 50 little gifts but I'm not sure whether I can afford that anymore, living in France is too expensive!

I have been known to spend hours making photo books, which she appreciates.

I don't think my mum even wishes to acknowledge her birthday, people spent years believing she was 39 :rotfl:

Anyway, I like to give personalised gifts as it shows effort and can be treasured
I read a thread on here and someone had sent a link about a book on Amazon, where your mum fills in the questions and gives it back to you, I think that's a nice idea... I would probably learn a few things.

I shall have a proper think and return to see what other ideas are appearing.

I think your idea of a canvas is a great one- but why not make it more special and have a whole family one done for her?
my sister did this for her in laws golden wedding anniversary - she got all the grandchildren together and had a photo taken of them together and they were absolutely delighted - they showed it to everyone and said it made their anniversary really special.
It's not often a family has a whole family portrait done and I am sure she would love it
