Not a very macho post for a chap but here goes anyway.
My twin daughters celebrated their 21st birthdays way back in April. What has struck and impressed me was how thoughtful their friends were with the presents. They got lots of "joke/fun" stuff but the main presents were really good.
In the middle of June they went to see Muse at the new Wembley, tickets gifted by a couple of boy pals. (Knew the type of music they like)
Last night they went to the Sunderland Empire to see the infamous Russell Brand in concert, tickets from a few girls who knew their taste in humour.
This Sunday they are off to the athletics in Sheffield to see the Norwich Union British Grand Prix, another of their interests, from others in their circle of friends. (hope rain stops)
I suppose the only downside is having to pay for travel, but what the heck.
So not only were the gifts thoughtful and personal, the "birthday" is spread out and not all over on the day.
Any of you Orgers had really thoughtful gifts (or extremely naff ones)
