I was looking at various personalised gifts online but am worried someone else will do the same. So then I started thinking about doing something different and more effortful. She loves books so I was thinking books published in 1976, which led me onto: Song or album that was Number 1 when she was born Book published 1976 Classic film from 1976.... Any other ideas along same lines.... Any suggestions for the above books, films....
