What kind of gift should I bring to my neighbors 50th birthday party/barbecue?

Q. We have only lived in our house for about 4 months. We are friendly with our neighbors, but have never spent any substantial time with them. We have been invited to the wifes 50th birthday/end of summer barbecue/party. What is an appropriate gift to bring? A plant? A bottle of wine? Flowers?

A. Any fifty year old person would appreciate the humor in receiving and will certainly use a good magnifying glass. I use this idea as a standard gift for my friend's 50th, 60th and 70th birthday gifts. It is a light hearted, humorous, useful and necessary gift, indeed.


What is something cool I could get for my 10 year old brothers birthday?
Q. He's turning 11 in a couple of weeks and I want to get him something fun.
He usually plays video games inside all day, but I want to get him something he can actually play with or do outside with his friends. It's winter so it might be cool to get him something snow-friendly.

Any ideas?
I'm putting a $70 budget on the gift. Thanks(:
Ehenever I ask him he either says "IDK" or some game for xbix.

A. Why not a dinosaur fossil dig kit? I bought this for my nephew, he LOVED it and he's a video game addict.. :)


What should i do for a 50th birthday party?
Q. Ok so my friend is setting up a 50th birthday party for her mom she is 15 and she wants it to be realy great

A. 1. an over the hill party, love the idea posted about making it all dark and the vultures and stuff...but another way to do this is to go for the funny..buy her an over the hill tshirt and or cap that she has to wear throughout the party...there are tons of them...I'll post some links later for ideas....but most places have those tshirt vendors in the mall a lot of the time you can get great things for over the hill gifts there...you could have some over the hill games(games typically associated with the "up in age crowd"...I posted 2 links for ideas...with a little imagination any of them could be adapted to fit your friend's mom's party

you could do a 50's fad party ...if her parents are still alive talk to them about the crazy fads she took part in as a kid and see if you can find some of the clothing or whatever fads that she did and have everyone come in 50's fad style....get music that she grew up listening to..do all the dances she did etc etc...have candies and snacks from the 50's..again posted some links...and again with a bit of imagination..the ideas could be adapted...for example one 50's fad was panty raids..on the invites you could specify that people bring an extra pair of underwear....at the start of the party they have to put the panties somewhere on their body..in a pants pocket, in a breast pocket, pinned to their body...and people have to steal each others underwear.....the one with the most at the end of the party wins a small prize

a timeline party...make a video of all her friends and family memories of her growing up.....all the important moments of her life and play it at the party......again you could have decades of snacks...some from the 50's, 60, 70's etc right through to today....have a wall in the party room decorated with her life....from birth to today....baby photos....embarrassing teenage photos...prom...wedding, children's photos, etc etc..have photos of all the "hot" artists of the 50's and movie actors etc etc

whatever she ends up doing sounds like it will be lots of fun
