my mom still drives and loves to drive over 4 states to visit relatives as often as she can. We are having a surprise birthday party for her, looking for some good ideas.
Answer
You can upload a picture of a significant moment in her life or a pretty pic of her and have a personalized photo puzzle made. Here: http://www.jigsaw2order.com/photo_collage_main.html
Another idea, this will require a little more effort: ask other family members to collaborate and come up with "80 reasons we love you". Type the text into a book (using a coffee book table template, maybe?) or have it made in a digital photography store or something similar. Put photos of your mother and family members to accompany the text.
Since she likes to drive, car rental places like Hertz rents Jaguars, Audis and the like for around $100 a day and unlimited mileage. It's a fun treat for someone who would never be able to afford a luxury vehicle, if the case. A less expensive option is a gift certificate for an oil change, lube and filter service (or even a full service) or gift card for free gas for a month or something similar. Well, it's useful for those who are always driving.

Boyfriend Birthday Gift Ideas?
Scarlett F
Hellooo.
I'm having such a hard time picking out a gift for him even though I know his likes. We've been together six months, so I don't know what going to far would mean. I also don't want him to think that if I get him something expensive, I expect something expensive back when it's my birthday.
Anyways, he's a few things he likes:
He writes music - Maybe a journal to write his songs in? I'm having a hard time finding a decent one online, any ideas?
He's a huge The Beatles fan. He likes 60's/70's/80's music but he has A LOT of CD's already. Wouldn't know what he has or not.
He's 23 btw.
He plays the guitar and the bass.
He's a shy guy for the most part.
He still uses his walkman and carries his cd's with him everywhere... I was thinking an Ipod? But... Would that be too much?
I also saw this The Beatles throw that I think he might like.
Please Help! Anythiiiing anythiiing will be of help!
Thanks! :)
Answer
Since he still uses CDs, you could be all old school and make him a mix. Put songs you think he'll like and songs that remind you of the two of you.
A music journal is a nice idea. Have you seen the ones that have blank sheet music in them as well?
Like this: http://www.themusicstand.com/64-Page-Six-Stave-Student-Blank-Music-Book-p/567781.htm
Or here is a nice music themed regular journal: http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Home-gift/Musicians-Black-Notebook-Manuscript-Paper-for-Inspiration-and-Composition/e/9780762403691/
I'm a fan of Etsy and they specialize in a lot of vintagey stuff so you may find some 60s/70s/80s music themed stuff there. It's all unique and make great gifts.
They have a ton of Beatles related stuff apparently! Check it out:

An iPod is always an excellent idea for a music lover but it's up to you to try and feel out how he'd react you getting him something expensive. But like another poster suggested, Nanos and shuffles are also great options! You can even get a Beatles skin for it!

Whatever you get him, I'm sure he'll love it :)
