- Most people love to see happy childhood pictures and photos from momentous occasions in their life. Compiling a photo album can be done by creating a scrapbook by hand or by creating a photo album on-line. At www.shutterfly.com you can upload pictures and create a beautiful hardback photo album. If you prefer to work with your hands, any craft store in your area will have materials to create your own scrapbook. Creative Memories also has a huge amount of great scrap booking material to choose from. Check with family and friends to find photos that will commemorate their lifetime. If you have a scanner, scan the photos into your computer and download them onto the on-line photo books. This way you can return these precious photos. If you do not have a scanner, Walmart can scan these photos for you for a nominal fee.
- In this economy, most people are looking for ways to save money. Gifts from the heart are the best gifts to give anyone. There is no need to spend a lot on a gift for it to be a great one. Create a list of 60 things you really admire about the birthday man or woman. Buy some nice paper from your local hobby store and write this list in your own handwriting. You can create a book by punching 3 holes on the sides of the paper and inserting ribbon into these holes. This will be a gift that will truly touch the heart.
- Gag gifts are a very entertaining way to keep a party alive. Bringing a well thought out gag gift can create great roars of laughter. Depending on the humor of the birthday man or woman, proceed with caution. If you are buying for someone who takes life in stride, you have a lot of options. Creating a gift basket with adult diapers, denture cream, knitting needles and yarn, and a housecoat for a woman or nightshirt for a man will create a lot of laughs. The gift can also be as simple as buying 10 six-packs of the birthday guy or gal's favorite beer. Wrapping each six-pack individually will be an entertaining way to present the gift.
