Cosd Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 January my eldest is going to be sixteen and I need some ideas guys. She's a quiete girl and I know she doesn't want a party. If its something with friends it'd probably consist of her sister and two or maybe three friends. It could be something we do as a family. I could get a limousine to take her and her friends wherever. It can be a whole day thing, it can spread over a few days. What suggestions guys? Anyone who's already been through it? It's a special day so I don't care about cost, she's everything a dad could want for a duaghter, she's smart, sensible, respectful and works hard on her studies making her an A grade student with big ambitions. This is my time to reward those qualities and say thank you. One idea is to get a limo to pick her and friends up, take them to a concert, then on to a top restaurant, maybe Nobu...... Help guys, I want it to be special, if she was a party girl it would be easy so to speak....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Why not ask her? It's always really hard to judge what would be good for a different generation! Failing that and if you want to keep it a surprise maybe you could get one or two of her best friends to one side and ask them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yea, she sounds great, find a nice spa for her and her chosen friends for pampering and a swim, add a barn conversion/cottage for them to stay afterwards, near a decent pub for food, then back at the digs they can do what they want...girl things.

Alex C Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 What about a center Parcs type place ? Bit of horse riding a bit of pampering and lots of other stuff. Or try and find a cheap sking weekend. Some of them are pretty well priced if you drive down? Cheers Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Fly them up to Scotland, and let them have a weekend at Aviemore. There are lots of nice places local to rent. They will feel like the jet set, without having to go too far. This place would be perfect, it sleeps 6, and even has an outdoor hot tub http://www.cottages-and-castles.co.uk/properties/Central-Highlands/Aviemore-Speyside-And-The-Cairngorms/Suie-Cottage:N764 Flights are £22 each way. http://www.easyjet.com/asp/en/book/index.asp?lang=EN$WT.srch=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=flights%20to%20inverness&utm_campaign=M08+-+UK+Destinations&tmcampid=28&tmad=c&tmplaceref=M08+-+UK+Destinations&gclid=CIOWiemJo60CFVQLfAod0AOzmA And here is your car hire: https://www.nationalcar.co.uk/RatesAndReservationResult/630/uk/hotdeals?requestId=WtWUmwGhMrDfuJC&companyId=630&contentGroup=#componentportalsearchcar_alamo and ive even taken the liberty of finding the local supermarket for you. http://www.bing.com/maps/?lvl=14&where1=PH22%201RH,%20UK&FORM=MMREDR Hope its of some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 At the age of sixteen, whilst I loved them, I considered my parents to be the uncoolest people on the planet. I would have been devastated if my father chose my birthday treat without my consent - let alone asked for, and considered ideas from a load of middle aged men on a pigeon shooting forum. The only person who knows exactly what she wants to do is your daughter. You would get more credit for asking her and going with her decision. In the meantime I would suggest a mornings reet proper clay coaching from PeterPeter, some crayfishing or a day of back to back windy foxing videos with her mates.

bakerboy Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Hi Cos Your obviously feeling a little better now, but have too much time on your hands. I would agree with ME find out from your daughter/Wife or your daughters friends what it would be that she would like. Having seen your family pictures, I would go the pampering route plus an overnight at a Hotel with a nice meal. Good luck with what ever it is that is chosen. PS Remember, the big event is 2 years time "18" whatever you do now you will have to better, and then of course you have daughter number 2 to follow the same path Edited December 27, 2011 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I wish I was totally better Terry! Doing great with the op, but flue'd up to the max! Streaming eyes, achy bones and all that...... You're right about the other daughter, they are thirteen months apart then she is also 16. I think I got an expensive few years ahead mate. My wife has been asking her and she hasn't chosen yet. We've also been interigating her sister. It's all about ideas, I'm sure it will piece together at the end.

Gallser Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Went through it last month with my young lass for her 16th. She is a quiet thing too and not the party animal type so we took her away to New York for 5 nights and done all the shows, sights and shops. She loved it and certainly wont forget it, nor will my bank manager come to that! Better start saving now for my my young lads next year!

Mrs Sweepy Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 All I got for my 16th was a pair of wellies :unsure: I don't have any daughters only sons. So don't really know what 16 year old girls like I know what 18 year old boys are into . But if I was to tell you that Mr C then your daughter will just end up with a pair of wellies like poor old Suzy did . :o xxxxxSuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
