Inspiration for Snowdrop

[piskieinboots]

I have his 50th birthday to plan for 18 Dec - am totally stuck on what to do for him, he isn't a 'let's throw a party' type.

Any ideas?

A holiday some where fab he's always wanted to go?

[Newbie]

Ooh, same day as my birthday!

Thnking about a track day for MrH being 50 next year

We gave my OH a Rally day for his. He loved it. He also went for the weekend to Snowdonia with some mates and climbed Snowdon.

Depends what his interests are and the length you want to go to deliver the wow factor.

I could echo those already suggested but I'm biased so will leave it to you, there's plenty to do just goes back to my first sentence...

...whatever you do I know it will be done with love and be received accordingly.

Aww, throw him a party anyway! Make sure loads of his mates are there, have a big cake with lots of candles and most importantly decorate the venue with big blown up photos of his mis-spent youth. If you can get one of him naked aged three months on a furry rug infront of a gas fire, so much the better!

Mr DDL has his big 50th in July - he doesnt want a big fuss, so a few days away in Pickering, where we went for our 25th, and I reckon a family meal somewhere and a friends meal somewhere. After all the grapes recommendations, and my ideas, after all it is his birthday. Mind you, my idea, and want, to go back to Pickering!

PS, Though Ive got quite a while to my big 50, can I just mention at this point, no party, no fuss, no nowt! And yes, I was a miserable at my 40th as well!

PPS sorry to borrow your thread Piskie!

My daughter in law cross stitched an invitation to the ballet complete with the date of my 50th birthday and a ballerina and she and my son gave me two tickets to the Nutcracker. Of course I'm not suggesting you do that Piskie, but is there something he would like to see at the theatre, or somewhere he would like to visit that you could surprise him with?

How's this?

Well, my two-penn'orth - I think Wayne's on the right wavelength. Failing that, my Dad has an old Vincent for sale...

I took OH to Barcelona for his 50th - he's a big Gaudi fan and was thrilled to bits - I'm a big Cava fan so I was pretty happy too

[piskieinboots]

[Nicos]

I suppose it's near enough to Xmas to combine the two events by going away for a few days- but I love some of the other ideas peeps have come up with!!!

What's tickling your fancy- or can't you say incase Snowdrop reads this???
