Please share! Houzz has a HORRIBLE search engine. I even tried Google. Only found one with the number 80 covered in lottery tickets. TIA I need more ideas, as DH and my sister both turn 70yo later this year.

    How about 70 birthday cards (not all from you LOL).


    ChatGOT

    • 70 bottles of wine, perhaps from regions or producers he likes
    • 70 excellent cigars, presented in a custom humidor
    • 70 golf balls, personalized with “70” or his initials
    • 70 rare or vintage coins, one from each year of his life where possible
    • 70 silver dollars in a handsome presentation box
    • 70 books, selected around his interests
    • 70 vinyl records from his lifetime
    • 70 photographs, framed individually or assembled in an album
    • 70 handwritten letters or memories from family and friends
    • 70 small bottles of whisky, bourbon, or Scotch
    • 70 craft beers from different breweries
    • 70 gourmet chocolates in a custom box
    • 70 oysters at a celebratory dinner
    • 70 premium steaks, delivered over time rather than all at once
    • 70 jars or tins of favorite foods, such as caviar, nuts, preserves, or olive oil
    • 70 pairs of luxury socks, slightly humorous but genuinely usable
    • 70 pocket squares in different patterns
    • 70 neckties, only if he still wears them regularly
    • 70 monogrammed handkerchiefs
    • 70 fountain-pen ink cartridges with a fine pen
    • 70 golf-course logo pencils or ball markers
    • 70 fishing flies in a custom fly box
    • 70 antique postcards relating to places he loves
    • 70 first-edition or vintage magazines from meaningful years
    • 70 lottery tickets, more playful than luxurious
    • 70 restaurant gift certificates or prepaid dinners
    • 70 car washes or detailing sessions
    • 70 rounds of golf, prepaid at a club or favorite course
    • 70 massages or personal-training sessions
    • 70 charitable gifts, such as funding 70 meals, trees, books, or scholarships in his name

    I find the search function here non-existant. Actually now that I think of it, I have had luck with META because I remembered Annie had done a bunch of threads to list some of these best of threads....but when I tried now, it brings up totally unrelated posts from 2010.

    That said, someone had shared this which I loved and have since gotten for 2 "special "birthdays. ( 40 and 75) Not major but useful and cute and bring a smile. I don't know if this is the exact one I got but there are numerous variations on this theme. Now I'm anxiously awaiting other suggestions.

    For my mom's 80th, I did a butterfly release with 80 butterflies.

    Thanks for the suggestions.


    Considering my sister is a numbers gal (weight, size, age) and is in denial when it comes to age, the last thing she would want is an article with it on display. But it is cute!


    I found a "BOOK" card for DH, and was going to get a 70th card for her. When she turned 50yo, I sent her 5 humorous cards, mailing one a day and signing each one differently. I just looked at calendar, and she won't be at her house here on her actually birthday. That throws a bit of a wrench in it.
