Help! Any ideas for a birthday present for me please?

I don't paint but my Dad did and I had a boxful of his paintings under my bed. My DD2 who knew which ones I liked best spirited away a set of three watercolours, had them professionally framed and on my birthday there they were on my bedroom wall. First thing I see every morning

A day out with DD doing your watercolours and including a pub lunch .

This really is impossible if you don’t know., how can anyone who doesn’t know you, know .
A day out with a nice lunch, there you go most people like that

Go out somewhere nice together and let her pay?
I was thinking afternoon tea in a country hotel with beautiful grounds.

If you enjoy crafts, learn a new one.
I charge £50 for a 2 hour pottery course for example

I can think of lots of fun presents I'd like.
£50 doesn't go far in a garden centre but you have always space for another plant or several
Happy birthday to you.

You could say, thank you for the thought but I have everything I need.

An outing together seems the best plan, which is what I’d choose with my children. Brunch, lunch, tea or evening meal? Why not visit a National Trust garden, or another open garden? I realise that theatre tickets are pricey, but you could contribute to the cost. Museums, art galleries? Whatever you decide, enjoy your special day. 💐

What about a day’s painting course? You can do a lot in a day, learn a lot and meet likeminded people usually in lovely surroundings.

Thanks all. Dd is a busy working mum with 2 kids and a dh who works long hours so a day out would be difficult. Guess flowers and chocs but I need to lose some weight😂

£50 would buy a lovely small Acer or Crab Apple tree for your garden, a pretty reminder.

Gardening magazine subscription?

I didn’t mean for your daughter to go with you on a painting course by the way. A day out just for you, doing what you enjoy! Your library or FB would have details.

A donation to your charity?

Something frivolous like a manicure/pedicure?

Premium bonds? Not sure what the minimum is now to be honest.

A flower subscription? I believe you can have flowers delivered regularly.

I had my 74th birthday last month. DD sent me a Lucy and Yak token and I got these dungarees: Hat courtesy of my sister....
DD got me a Barbour waxed hat with Lugs for dog walking to go with the Vintage wax riding coat I bought in a charity shop for £30. So excited failed to notice it. was clearly to be worn for horse riding....and had NO HOOD!!
