For my father’s 90th birthday, I arranged a fly-over of the house by a plane trailing a banner for the occasion (strictly limited number of letters), plus dinner for the extended family. On the one hand it was pricy, to be sure. On the other hand, the banner fly-over made an interesting element of a large family celebration. It did not go exactly as planned, but it was okay. If you might think of doing this, I recommend checking the nearest small airfield to make arrangements, rather than looking on the internet.

For the 90th birthdays of others, I have mainly been showing up for a celebration with a small gift of a type that I know they will like. (My mother did not reach her 90th birthday.)
