A £700 Birthday Bash Fit for a Queen — and Her Mini-Me!
When it comes to celebrating milestones, Stacey Solomon certainly doesn’t do things halfway. Earlier this week, the beloved TV personality marked her 36th birthday — but here’s the heartwarming twist: she shares the exact same special day with her adorable 4-year-old daughter, Rose. That means double the cake, double the fun, and of course, a celebration sprinkled with Stacey’s trademark sparkle.
If you’re familiar with Stacey (and her husband, fellow star Joe Swash), you’ll know that she adores planning magical moments for her children — affectionately dubbed her ‘pickles’. So it’s no surprise that this “birthday twin” celebration turned into something truly spectacular. And yes, there’s a video of the big day that fans can’t stop gushing over!
A Mother-Daughter Birthday to Remember
Stacey posted a heart-melting video on Instagram capturing their London adventures, alongside a touching caption expressing just how much the day meant to her. In true Stacey fashion, it was both funny and emotional. She wrote about their decision to spend the day out in the city together — a gift to themselves — describing it as “THE BEST.” Stacey poured her heart out, telling Rose that her joy and laughter fill her soul, and that sharing a birthday with her little girl means “everything.” Her words radiated so much warmth it almost made followers reach for tissues!
Over on her Instagram Stories, she couldn’t hide her excitement either, gushing that she had “the best birthday day out with my birthday twin” — complete with joyful emojis and heartfelt declarations of love that only a proud mum could write.
Inside Their Lavish London Getaway
Once again, Stacey proved she has an eye for creating unforgettable experiences. The mother-daughter duo spent their joint birthday at the ultra-luxurious Shangri-La The Shard, London’s famous five-star hotel perched high above the city. Their suite looked like something out of a dream — personalized pillows embroidered with their names, elegant birthday balloons adorning the walls and ceiling, and that glittering skyline stretching beyond their windows.
Their celebration didn’t stop there. Stacey and Rose also dined at TING, the hotel’s stylish Asian restaurant, and treated themselves to some retail therapy at iconic spots like Hamleys and Selfridges. Let’s be honest — this is a major upgrade from your standard “pin the tail on the donkey” party!
A View (and a Price Tag) to Match
For those who haven’t visited, Shangri-La The Shard is part of a world-renowned luxury chain with hotels in places like Tokyo, Fiji, and Mauritius. It occupies 18 stunning floors of London’s tallest building, offering jaw-dropping panoramic views of the city below. Guests often rave about the marble bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and — believe it or not — the highest hotel pool in Western Europe. Yes, an infinity pool on the 52nd floor!
As for the price tag? The most modest suite starts at around £595 per night, but depending on the date and view, that figure often climbs to about £830. Add in dinner, travel, and some shopping magic, and Stacey’s glamorous £700 birthday splurge suddenly makes perfect sense.
But here’s where it gets controversial... Some fans find Stacey’s lavish celebrations inspiring — a testament to hard-earned success and heartfelt mother-daughter bonding. Others might wonder whether such extravagant experiences set unrealistic expectations for ‘normal’ birthdays. What do you think? Is Stacey’s over-the-top approach an admirable form of self-love and gratitude, or a bit too indulgent for a four-year-old’s big day?
Share your take in the comments — because one thing’s for sure: Stacey Solomon definitely knows how to make every moment shine.
