Ideas for 40th b'day gift ? ... for my friend i've known for 20yrs : )

[smiles4u]

Hi all,

My girlfriend turns 40 in a few weeks and oddly enough i suddenly remember only last night that i promised her a similiar gift idea as i gave her DH when he turned 40 a couple of years ago - It was box that i labelled on the front lid TIMECAPSULE 1968 with all things that were of that year he was born. She loved it that much i hinted i "might" do the same for her when she turned 40 but the thing is it took me a good two months to get her DH bits & pieces together as i found most of them on eBay when i searched the year, etc for them ...

So what do you think ?? ... Do you reckon i can pull it off and have a TIMECAPSULE ready for her in time for her birthday party that's on the 14th Aug

And those of you born 1970 too can you give me any ideas of what you would love in your timecapsule if it were your's ??

TIA for any hints & tips

(P.S - did i mention amongst her DH's timecapsule items was a vintage Playboy mag published the week my friends hubby was born, he said it was the best b'day gift ever and he couldn't stop laughing, ... well he's filthy minded like me, ROFL )

That is the best idea Smiles. I reckon if anyone could pull it off you could

For Christmas one year I got a CD of songs from the year I was born. I love it.

The CD I got is called: 1975 Where Were You?

You can also do google searches of things that were around the week she was born. Her local paper (from where she was born) should have the front page on microfyshe and you should be able to get a copy of it (heck if her parents did a birth notice even find that).

What an amazingly awesome idea Smiles4U! I guess lots of searching on the internet...music, things in the news, toy of the year, fashion, food, ummmm, let me keep thinking....australian womens weekly....

Did I say what a great idea it was?

What an awesome idea.... There is a website where you can get the paper from the day they were born... DP's cousin got one for MIL's 60th, it comes in like a big album thing.. let me see if i can get the details.. you might just be able to get the front cover or a page that would interest her!
