In Norway (or maybe just in my part of Norway?) big round birthdays tend to be celebrated with a biiiig party. And presents tend to be gag or personal gifts carefully planned out. For my mom's big day (That would be Duck-on-Wheels), my brother and I wrote her a little book. A collection of all the embarrasing stories about her growing up that we were able to gather, along with some pretty embarrasing photos from the same period. These are stories she used to tell us when we did something stupid/embarrasng so we would feel better. For my dad's recent 60th, my brother and I put together a slide show. Over the years, we have always given him "gift certificates" for random things because what else do you give the man who has everything. So our slide show was a series of gift certificates, illustrated with a fitting picture of one or both of us as kids. Such as a picture of my brother as a 4 year old with a little spade helping to shovel snow in the drive accompanying a gift certificate for one winter of free snow shoveling.
