60th birthday gift

Twice as nice your day sounds so lovely and thoughtful ! One of my favourite presents when I was 40 was a barometer. I always wanted one and I look at it every day when I leave the house. It is very accurate at predicting the weather too

How about a professional photograph of the whole family? Or a piece of jewellery? Experience days have been very successful with my husband - falconry and organ playing in Gloucester Cathedral. Membership of the NT or a subscription to a magazine?
I received an easel and paints from my children on my 60th and taking up painting has changed my life

OOOh timely question.

My 60th is in Sept . Im throwing myself a 50+10 party ( because I am the party thrower in this family - although DH did throw me a surprise party for my 50th !)

I don't really expect any presents because everyone will come and that's a cost in itself as we are far flung.

What I'd really like is a night in a hotel , the night of the party and to come back after breakfast and find my house is clean and tidied and all back together

NEVER going to happen !!!

My gift from my 3 sons on my 60th was a framed collage of photos of me from childhood, and including my DS's, DGD, siblings and nieces and nephews, also some photos of my late parents. It hangs in the living room where I answer it every day.
We also had a fantastic holiday in Barbados, with a personal guided tour of the island on the actual day.
A birthday to remember.

Where I can see it every day, not answer it!!

Holiday
Treat eg spa day
Vouchers for cinema or theatre.

I would definitely have loved a professional family photo of both my families. Maybe if I get to 70 it might happen
