Ideas for 60th birthday present?

[beacon]

For a female.

how much are you spending

For my mum's 60th I trawled through all my recipe books and chose 60 recipes, divided them into starters/fish/veggie/meat/mains/side dishes/pudding, scanned them all onto my PC, added photos of me, dp and the children cooking, added comments on each recipe and bound it. She appeared underwhelmed I have to say, for the amount of effort that went in but hey, I still thought it was a good idea!

A family day out? - a weekend at centre parcs?

Just a thought but i gave my aunt a beautiful crystal vase and then arranged for a bouquet to be delivered every month for a year .... seemed to have got me a fair few brownie points !!

For my Mum's we organised a session at a studio photographers for all the family - from my 90 yr old Grandada to my 6mth DS. She loved it, and now has the photos as a reminder. We also went to see Jools Holland in concert which was brilliant. It cost £199 for the hour in the studio, 6 prints, the CD of all 60 photos he took. There was a more expensive package as well.

Great, brilliant bunch of ideas. The Claridges one could be perfect. Thanks for all of your ideas.
