Gift Idea ..HELP!

Hi Ladies,

I know you wont fail me. I forgot that my closest co-worker turns 50 on December 10th. I have been racking my brain to think of what I can make her for the BIG event. Some sort of useful, yet funny gift would be great to make. Either an "over the Hill"...(no offence to anyone in advance) voodoo doll, or maybe a handmade purse/bag filled with items like geritol??

Anyone have any ideas of something you might have made or received for a special birthday that you can pass on as an idea?

Please and thank you...............

For my 40th my girlfriend made me a bra purse. We laughed so hard our boys came up to see what was going on and they took one look and ran out of the room!

She bought a GIANT bra. Ok, giant is relative as I am an A cup ;-) But it was darn big. You have to be able to remove the underwire. She covered the cups with a crazy patch type piecing and then folded it in half so the cups formed a purse. She inserted fringe into the bottom and hot glued that all shut. The bra straps become the handles.

It was too funny. You could certainly put a bottle of geritol or the like in it and wrap it up.

I'm saving mine to give to my sister on her 50th in a couple of years. She will get a kick out of it too.

*IF* she has a good sense of humor there are all kinds of things for us Old Ladies... Oil of Olay (fondly referred to as Oil of Old Lady), estrogen supplements, support hose, age spot creams, a red hat and purple leggings or other outrageous purple item and the poem about When I am an Old Lady I shall Wear Purple (don't know the exact title of it), a whoopie cushion and tablets for flatulence, an inexpensive cane all decorated with ribbons and flowers, a fan labeled for hot flashes, a coffee mug with some clever saying about over the hill.... there's all kinds of stuff! Most party supply stores carry lots of gag stuff and decorations with over the hill, etc. on them.

That said, I don't like birthdays. Don't care if you know how old I am or when it is, just let it pass quietly and ignore it, please. I would have been upset if anyone had made a fuss about my 50th... or any other one. Just a little something to think about. We all have different feelings about birthdays and especially the landmark ones.... and I know I'm weird on that subject and I don't discuss that, either. :-P~~~~~
