Question
Hi Shannon
My husband and I are invited to a 70th birthday of one of his customers
My husband has known these customers for five years, we would like to know
what gift to give the grandmother who is 70 (we have not met her) and some  
etiquete advice, our children are invited too but we have FOUR children and
dont want too make the party too busy; is it better to leave some home or will
that offend?
Thanks Tamara from Perth Australia

Answer
Dear Tamara,

Most old people believe in Buddhism. You may buy a jade Guanyin for her. Or a couple of jade bracelets is always the correct gift.

I am sure there will be a big crowd as old people love to see big family and kids. So I think they will be happy to see lots of kids.

Hope that helps.

Enjoy the Birthday.

Shannon
