Help!! A beautiful gift for my mum

[Patooties]

For my mums 60th, I made a dvd slideshow (using windows movie maker) of her life, set to music and with captions etc. She loved it.

also, does she have any family videos? if so, you could get them put onto dvd.

Hi Salad
Just wondering if you found something nice to give your Mum for her 50th?

for anyone looking at photo books - BIG W photobooks are on special again at the moment. the cheapest (8inch square) soft cover book isn't bad - if you're wanting to do something spesh, maybe do a hard cover one...

Jazahmum - aww thats so nice of you to ask, sorry i havent been back in here to thank you for your ideas, I have just been flat out, organising a party for 50 odd people with a little one and cooking everything yourself is such a big task.

We havent got her anything yet, we were just going to contribute to her wishing well and then she could use all the money and get exactly what she wanted, however I AM SO ANNOYED on the invites I wrote a little poem requesting gift vouchers or money anonymously, and not one person contributed to it they all brought presents that are of no use - the exact thing we were trying to avoid, how much freakin body wash does one person need , seriously.

Thats so annoying Salad, for my dad's 70th when people rang and ased what to get him (as most did) I said Bunnings or Borders vouchers and he got heaps which he loved.

[Salad]

Yeah thats right I think the older people get the better cash and vouchers are - they have got everything they need really

Hi Salad
That's a shame that no one did what you recommended. It's so much easier to give cash than to think about what to buy for someone!
Sounds like you were super busy!
