BIRTHDAY GIFT IDEAS

Post by karl » Wed Jan 16, 2013 3:02 pm

I have already received an invitation to my sisters birthday although it's not until June, I think she wanted to get in first before any of us booked a holiday. (Don't even know if I'm going anywhere this year apart from Cheshire)

She has been to many places in the world and has many things, I know it's a long way off but any suggestions would be welcome.

It's a very special birthday, I'l give you a clue three score and ten!!!! :roll:

What about spending the day with her, some quality sibing time doing something. Think back to being kids and maybe going to an amusement park or something like that.

We don't have amusement parks Eamon well not close by. But that's not her scene.
An HMV gift card is the last thing I would buy infact I don't think I will buy one again for any store as too many are closing so suddenly.

She pretty much has everything she needs that's why it's a difficult choice. I may call my nephew and see what he is planning.

How about something we suggested for Eman--an album full of old family photos---it is easy to get an album done on the internet !

Does your Sister wear perfume Karl ?

Perhaps you could give her a gift token say from Boots or another outlet, then she can choose herself.

Yes she does Angela and I remember the one I bought her almost ten years ago, I checked out the price in Debenhams and almost collapsed with shock, and I thought the man's cologne I bought was expensive!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Marian I heard today the family are putting together a photo album from childhood to now so I've been asked to look for some pictures. How many pictures have we collected over the years? There are stacks of them!

Karl, get the most memorable ones that actually have a story behind them. Though I'm sure each picture does have one.
