50th Birthday Ideas???

jc207

Where should I take my mom for her 50th Bday in Houston, TX? That she can enjoy and they allow children....ideas for gifts??? THANKS PEOPLE! :D

Answer
For my mothers 50th I completely transformed her garage by going to wal-mart and buying the cheapest bolts of black stretchy material they had and stretched that over the walls and the ceiling. Get some paper stars(different sizes), silver spray paint, then get a screw driver or any kind of medium size stick.First tape stick to the tip of the star and hold it up close to the material and the spray the silver paint over the star. Repeat that with all the different sizes a;; over the walls(on the material) and when you are done there wil be a bunch of black stars with the silver outline. It looks real cool. practice first though so you get a feel of what I am talking about.
I also sent her school pic from when she was 8 to her co-worker and had them posted up all over the building. (she had no idea how they got those pics)
You can go to a party supply and get a sign that hangs on the wall for everybody to sign and write a message. you can also buy the package of over the hill road signs and put them on plywood and use those as signs to follow to get to the party. attach some balloons to them too.this is great if your house is hard to find or you live in the country or both!
Get a hold of old friends and classmates and maybe even teachers if you can.
The to top it all off a stripper.
If you don't have the money for a stripper then take up a collection at the party b-4 the stripper arrives and let the guests know about it before they arrive put it on the invitations. but be sure to let them know they are not obligated to chip in though. it worked out great for me =)

Mom's 50th birthday gift ideas?

Natalie :]

I wanted to give my mom something Special besides the gift im buying her. My sister is putting together a slide show of pictures of my mom threw out the years. I wanna do something like this but i cant think of what i can do. Does anyone have any ideas???/

Answer
I suggest you use the photos your sister is using for the slide show. Find one of her when she was young and one of her today. Have them printed up nicely and put them in a decorative frame. The 'young' photo on the left and the 'today' photo on the right. You can find a nice 2 sided frame for this.
Use flattering photos, too, by the way.

This is a nice idea.

Also- make her favorite dinner along with her favorite dessert(s). Make her feel very special.

Gift ideas for a 10 yr old that loves hockey?

birthday gift ideas 50 image

unpredicta

This friday is my brother's firends birthday and the whole 4th grade are going to see a college hockey game.

My mom needs gift ideas?
He loves hockey lol.

Her limit is $50.

Thanks!

Answer
I would definetly tell her to call his favorite hockey team and try and get some merchandise, a signed jersey or something like that, large organizations and teams are more than happy to help out for children passionate about something. If you can't get something like that then I would just get a fifty dollar gift-card for the NHL or something like that, then he can get anything hockey that he wants! I hope this helped!

Any ideas for an 80th birthday party celebration?

Dave R

I need help on gift ideas, and unique decorating, etc. It's my mom's birthday and we have rented a room at a resturant. What do you thonk of pictures of my mom during different satges - little girl, teen, wedding, etc? Thanks for all answers.

Answer
a picture board is a great idea- I did one for my moms 60th party and she had a great time showing off her pics to everyone! Go get one of those tri-fold display boards and put tons of pics of her throughout the years on it- or you can make a slide show and play it on someones laptop computer- whichever works better for you. For decorating I just used my moms favorite colors- pink, purple, and silver accents- we had fake flower petals scattered down the center of the tables and a set of pretty candles next to a vase of lillies. I also found small travel candles for 50 cents and had one of those at each table setting as a party favor for the guests. We had balloon arrangements all over the room and hung streamers and some birthday banners too. I had also found on Ebay a book all about the year she was born and we had that on the picture table so people could look through that also and I found a Life magazine from th week she was born on there too (I gave that as a gift to her and she loved it).
so as far as decorations- go with something that you think she would like, maybe vases of her favorite flowers all over, or make it a theme relating to her favorite hobby and decorate along those lines (gardening, bingo, quilting- whatever!) This is a good time also to get some family pictures taken so make sure to gather up the whole group before people start to leave to get some good family shots.

What should I buy or make for birthday gifts?

birthday gift ideas 50 image

Maria Gall

I know this may sound rather odd, but I try to plan financially everything I do a year in advance in hopes to avoid any surprises in my checkbook. Anyways, what should I buy or make for people next year for their birthdays? I preferably want to give them a homemade gift (what are some creative ideas for homemade birthday gifts?), but if that's tasteless I'm open to almost anything.

My best friend will turn 44 years old

My brother, his girlfriend, and a friend will turn 19

Important friends will turn 21, 23, and 24

My boyfriend will turn 27

A dear male friend who's in prison will turn 23 yrs. old

A brother will turn 50 and a sister will turn 40.

My important nieces and nephews between 2-15

Daddy will turn 75 (my mom is deceased)

My other siblings and friends will receive birthday cards.

Thank you in advance as I greatly appreciate your input and advice.

Answer
Wow, organization like that is amazing (if a little scary). Only you know your friends, and your talents (some people should never bake anything for anyone), so suggestions really might not be so good.

For those that like them, how about candles? They are easy to make, all you need is some wax (even from old candles), crayons for color, string (dipped in the hot wax, curled around a pencil on one end, weighted with a coin for the bottom of the candle), scent (or unscented - some people like candles but gag @ the smell), maybe one of their favorites (can get samples sometimes, but oils work best), and a quart or half gallon waxed paper juice or milk carton. This also should prob be done in one of those disposable foil pans.

Melt the wax, adding the crayons, scent (or not). Stir. Cut off the top of the carton where it starts to fold, so that you have just the square. Rest the pencil with the string (wick) on top (the weighted end should be at the bottom of the carton. Pour a little wax in to fix the wick in place in the center of the carton. Give it a little time to solidify (about 20 min-1/2 hr. Stick the whole thing in the fridge or freezer if you want to move it along more quickly).

Get some ice cubes from the tray and fill the carton with them. Stir the wax again (the wax should be hot enough to pour). Then pour it into the carton over the ice cubes. Let it cool & set (give it a couple hrs minumum, overnight is best, or do the fridge thing. You don't want to stick this in the freezer or the water in the carton will re-ice). Peel away the carton.

The ice will have created pockets in the candle and it looks pretty cool, certainly not like a factory candle.

For your friend in prison, baked goods sound like the way to go, perhaps lots of cookies he can share. Or a cd?

Ok, I'm off to finish my Christmas shopping for this year, half of which is still undone!

What should i get my boss for her birthday?

Interns09

I work at a law firm as an intern and 4 other interns and I have decided to get our Boss a birthday gift. She is actually a lawyer at the firm, a nun, and shes well in about her 50-60s. She is simple and doesn't really wear anything fancy. Any ideas? We don't want to do the cliche and dust collectors of plaques or office stuff; its a waste of money. We want to get her something she would actually use and appreciate.

Answer
Hire a male stripper.

What good birthday gifts would you recommend for my boyfriend?

Sweet One

I want to come up with a special birthday gift and am not coming up readily with ideas. I wanted some help as I brainstorm. He's 36 and originally from Europe but we live in NY. He is a software engineer and has a phd in Physics so loves science stuff and technology. It would be great if the gift could be personalized but that's not a deal breaker. He has a personal trainer which he goes to once a week and he also has been taking drumming lessons, so has a small bongo drum (starter one). He enjoys world music.

Of course we love each other very much as well and have been together for about 1.5 years. We are talking seriously about marriage and so I think that is in the near future.

Any ideas for a good gift?

Answer
hi,
well, you're in NY, perhaps you could find a beloved band or musician playing in the not-too-distant future to get tickets to?
or, there's a billion clubs, like the blue note, for dinner and a show, or find a dinner then come for the show.
he must love the american museum of natural history (if not, there's dozens of other museums that may be of interest to him), perhaps get him annual membership or tickets to a special exhibition? or, some showing at the planetarium?
a trip home? (dunno how much you're looking to spend)
spend a weekend (or however long is manageable) and take a road trip, there's seriously about anything you could look for within 50-300 miles of nyc. go to mit - dunno, they might have an interesting lecture... washington dc, the smithsonian has amazing exhibits. or just crazy like casinos - atlantic city, the poconos, upstate ny, all points anywhere. you could go spelunking, the baseball hall of fame, niagara falls (no barrel runs, lol), run off to chi-town, philly, lake placid, heck, montreal is a 6-7 hour drive from nyc, anyway, you get the point about travel.
maybe an experience together could be more gratifying and memorable than a specific item?
skydiving? lol. see the races at watkin's glen, or just tour, wherever the mood strikes him. if you're interested in the travel thing you could join aaa and get regional guides for free (with cost of membership, of course) which tell you about what any little town has to offer. maybe you have a friend that is a aaa member who could order guides for you?
maybe see what festivals are coming up within 300-400 miles. maybe something he likes? lol, ya never know if there will be a software engineering/physics/technology fest... maybe the jacob javitz has something coming up?
sorry, i can't think of any specific item to give him... i once gave my brother (a geotechnical engineer) a "stop plate tectonics" t-shirt... but, he's only my bro, not the love of my life.
well, happy hunting for an amazing surprise!!

lol, you could always incorporate the first response into a road trip
