What is an appropriate gift at a formal 65th birthday party?

birthday gift ideas aunt image

My aunt is having a formal dinner party (think wedding reception at a big, fancy hall) to celebrate her 65th birthday. What kind of gift is expected at this? It's not like there's anything she needs (she already has everything) and I usually only give her a card, but she's shelling out big bucks for this party so it seems rude to show up empty-handed. What is appropriate in this situation?

Answer
Does she have a favorite picture from her past? If so I would have it framed for her. I also like the idea of the gift card to her favorite restaurant.

What is a great birthday gift for a 2 year old boy?

My nephew is about to turn 2, and I don't know what to get him! He has an older sister, so toys have been passed down to him, plus between my family and my sister in law's family, he has a TON of aunts/uncles, etc that will be buying gifts for him. With Christmas around the corner, I know he'll be getting even more toys. What is a great idea for a 2 year old, that he won't likely be getting for someone else?

Answer
Not sure how much you want to spend but here are some options:

*Washable paints with brushes, large coloring books or large blank pad of paper
*Ball pit with extra balls (about $50 bucks or so)
*A toy box (even if he has one another could easily be used!)
*Bath toys (foam letters, bath paints, basket ball goal)
*Pretend grill
*Age appropriate board games like the fishing game (can't remember exact name)
*Gift card to Build a Bear
*Remote control car or thomas the train
*Sit and Spin
*Work bench
*He is about to start potty training - favorite character undies
