Mom's Birthday Idea and Feedback!?

Ok well my mother%26#039;s turning 42 in about three weeks and I am unsure of what to buy her. Clothes are out of the question and as far as handbags and accessories, she already buys her own and I have already given her some stuff. She buys from designers such as Gucci, Prada, Coach, Fendi,etc. I already have flowers on the list but dont know what else. My father will probably take her to dinner. She mentioned she wanted a spa day and I will probably do that as well but what else would be thoughtful? Also I have started to plan her 50th Birthday Party which is in about 8 years but I already have close to 10k saved and I am planning to have it in a very nice hotel ballroom here in town and have guests fly in from all over the U.S. and it to be a complete surprise! The budget for the party will probably be 50k+ but I do still have time to plan this. I am 18 at the moment so i still have time and my brother and dad will help in when the date gets closer. Is this a good idea?

It already sounds to me that your family is made up material things.................


Our family is made out of giving, and helping each other where we can including our environment which means reusing and recycling things.


Not even a wedding has come over half of what you have saved.


We have a good time without the expense, with many friends and relatives.


Use a pavilion throw the party outdoors, dress casual and have a great time find a place where you can pitch tents for the weekend and kick back and enjoy visiting all these people whom you%26#039;ve invited. I think the TIME SPENT is more valuable than fancy designer items.
Reply:that%26#039;s so sweet! can i come? just kidding ( jk ) oh by the way get her some roses.!.!.!.!.!.!.!

Reply:hate to tell ya but most of the people here don%26#039;t spend that kind of money on parties... any kind of parties.





sorry, your on your own with this one
Reply:Take her to an afternoon ballet or play for her 42nd birthday.


Have coffee afterwards.





or





Invite her friends over for an afternoon birthday get together


with lunch and silly games and prizes.





The 50th bd party sounds great.
Reply:You are 18 and already have 10k saved? You could have this PARTY for much less than this. As a mom, the amount of money you spend isnt what is important. Its great you love your mom, why not cruise or a trip? Moms need and deserve vacations. For that amount of money send her on her dream vacation. (The one she would never spend on herself)
