I'm afraid this isn't much help but I'm another 1977 baby, I have a jubilee souvenir mug made by the local pottery where I was born (Orkney) and some first day covers my granny sent me, they're pretty good if you can get hold of them.

What month was he born in cos' there are bound to be loads of papers doing memorials to Elvis etc and if they are you could use those for wrapping paper (I think he died in August). Go into charity shops and look for 1970's stuff. Also if you have sky they are rerunning The likely lads, Man about the house etc on UKTv Gold and the Paramount comedy channel. so tape those(obviously for private use only not for resale etc etc.) Find some seventies clothes they are all the rage at the moment (TOP SHOP and others are doing good copies cheap and dress up in them!!

Thanks for your suggestions, unfortunately its his birthday next week so will miss the Elvis memorials. We don't have Sky, but I will go round the charity shops.

I love the 70's clothes idea, unfortunately I would struggle to fit into any of the clothes from that era normally, never mind at the moment when I'm 8 months pregnant. Have had enough problems trying to find normal maternity clothes, doubt there would be many 70's maternity clothes floating around, although if anyone finds any in a 14-16 please let me know. :rotfl:
