    Tips for birthday present?

    My wife will be celebrating her 50th birthday next month and I would like to get everyone she knows together and make her a personalized gift. Does anyone have any ideas or know of places online that offer such things?

    Thanks!

    Why don't you shoot a personalized dedication video to her. You can tape everyone telling their favourite stories and edit them together.

    Read this answer. Read it again. And again.

    Spa treatment

    Spa





    Spa

    If you want, you can still get her a personalized gift, but make SURE the spa treatment is part of her birthday.





    There is no other.

    Am I correct in assuming from your post that you want to celebrate your wife's birthday online?

    Have we descended to such depths of social grace that we celebrate birthdays online, in our skivvies from home? Do we find twitter a more loving venue than someones living room filed with family and friends. Has texting really replaced hugs?

    Repent, the end of Western Civilization is at hand.

    You get 50 lollipops from a local candy store, wrap them together nicely, and that is your gift:

    50 sucks

    Collect some very nicely shaped, sculped and colourful pebbles; put them in a glass vase, because:

    80 Rocks!

    Hi blotches...

    This is pretty late, sorry, but here's a website link that looks like you can create a scrapbook type thing for her. www.tellthatstory.com I've never used the site personally and I am in no way connected to them and in no way benefit from them. I saw the web address in the back of a "coffee table" book full of ads and thought this might be something like what you are looking for.

    Hope that helps you...I hope your wife has a terrific birthday! :)
