Help!
Both my parents are 50 soon, and I am stumped as to what to get them!
What present do you get for the people who have been there, done that, got the T-shirt?
Seeing as it's a big birthday, i was thinking of getting them a joint pressie like a weekend away somewhere, problem is, they're already going away! Surprise party is also out the question as they are also having a large party.
I've looked up all the gift experience sites etc and nothing floats my boat....
For once I'm stumped- any help????

Do they like whisky ?
You can get some vintage malts depends on your price, vinatge armagnac is cheaper.
pm me if you would like any details
this place sells stuff that is 50 years old so not just ordinary stuff
will have to think otherwise
If they have been all the places money can buy etc then the best answer is the things money can't buy -- the album and scrapbook is good - make sure there is something from every child and grandchild in there -- something they will keep and treasure. - your time and the time and effort of the family will be far more precious to them than any alcoholic beverage.
hi mazanden
At the moment i have the same problem my parents are both 50 ( on the same flipping day) in a couple of weeks, they're divorced so joint pressies no option and i haven't got a clue. If you do think of any great gifts then all ideas sent my way will be greatfully recieved
thanks Lou
what about organising them a vintage car or limo to take them to their party? some have dvd players in them and you could make a happy birthday dvd disc with video wishes from family and friends, and maybe those who cant make the party? it could then be played while on the way there?

If they haven't got one yet, get a DAB radio. I'm 51 now and I have used everyday since getting it.
I have seen some fabulous animated DVDs put together of family photos, holiday snaps and bits of home-movies all put to someone's fave music. It's a lovely gift when it's done right.
Only 50! They're just spring chickens!
Best present my kids ever gave us was a night out for two at Le Manoir, Raymond Blanc's posh restaurant near Oxford. It was brilliantly done - we received an invitation from the restaurant to dine on a day of our choosing - and the meal was fantastic - eight courses over three hours! It was very touching, very enjoyable and greatly appreciated.

Alcohol is no good as they can get it so easily unfortunately, any kind of alcohol is a bit like water in their house! :-( would have been an easy option otherwise!!!
