we just invited to a 70th birthday party for a friend of ours. the invited asks that we bring 40 of something and 30 of another. it can be anything. i was just wondering what ideas all of you have for something like this it can be funny or useful but has to be clean. and it is for a woman. thanks!!!
40 hard candies (seniors love hard candy to suck on because they get dry mouth) You can pick certain flavors at a candy store. And 30 1dollar lottery ticket... seniors love scratchers.
40 fortune cookies and 30 $1 lottery tickets.
How about stamps and quarters?
Seniors need both!
Dawn
40 one dollar bills for her to spend as she likes
30 hand written funny sayings & uplifting notes
What a creative idea !
We have a 90th B-Day party for a family member coming up the end of this month...I will take this idea into consideration !
I would give a gift of whatever the B-Day person would like best !
I have 1 relative who would love to receive 40 bucks and a $30 gift card to her favorite store. I have another relative who would love 40 stamps and 30 scratch off cards.
LOVE the idea of lottery tickets for O. item.
For the other---like some have said--stamps, quarters or mints, lifesavers, butterscotch candies, photos of her & family (if you can dig them up!), 30 or 40 gift card for a favorite place to eat or get coffee?
Quarters
cotton balls
Both are very useful, for a woman.
Edit: Oh, what about flowers? Nice spring/summer bouquet.
When a friend of mine turned 60 a bunch of us came up with 60 words that describe her. We painted them on decorative stones and put them in a glass vase. She loved it!
40 Hershey kisses and 30 Hershey hugs in a cute container,bag or bowl
I vote for stamps. 40 stamps and 30 chocolates!
You got great ideas already...
Other things that come to mind are: Assortment of blank, birthday, thank you cards. Flowers or roses, gift card,
Have fun!!
my first thought was googly eyes. don't ask me why lol.
30 tissues (in a pack) and 40 breath mints (in a tin) or packs of gum?
Lottery scratch off tickets. My 90-year-old grandma LOVES getting them.
personalized m & m's, jelly bellys(can order in a personalized tin), fortune cookies. or does she have particular interests? does she sew? give buttons or rolls of thread. does she cook? give recipes. or cut pictures out of a magazine of what she likes (fancy shoes, vacation spots, movies, etc.) sounds fun!
