Hi, was just looking for some ideas for my dads 50th(Sept).......

He is going to tenerife for his birthday with my other family members but i cant go due to being on placement so wanted to do something for him coming home.....I have spoken to most of my family about the idea of a surprise party but everone thinks he wont like it......

My aunt suggested having something in the house for him coming home on the saturday but i think he will be too worried about his carpet getting dirty....

I have looked at a couple of pictures some of you have posted from marquees and was thinking i could have done something along those lines for him or maybe a gezebo???? He has decking and quite a large back garden so i think it would facilitate quite a large gazebo.....does anyone know best place to get them or even hire them????

Gazebos - I know places such as Argos and B&Q all sell them in various sizes and therefore prices. Argos ones start at £10...

Have you tried the usual? ebay, amazon, B&Q, Homebase?

If you've tried Argos, don't bother searching Homebase as they're under the same group and sell the same outdoor living range.

Is there anything he's always wanted to do that doesnt require much like sky diving, bungee jumping or swimming with sharks???

That will give him a b'day to remember:cool:
