Experiences that never get old
If the 50 year old in your life already has everything, gifting an experience is a wonderful idea. The bonus about gifting an activity like a relaxing day spa or a vineyard tour is that you can opt in to attend as well.
A mystery day flight or hot air balloon ride is the ultimate in indulgence, the perfect gift from a husband or wife. Hot air ballooning is surely on everyone’s bucket list, right? Make it happen for their 50th and they’ll love you forever.

50th birthday gifts for men
We’re not saying you can’t gift these treasures to women, we’re just saying that men are more likely to fall over backwards (in a good way) after receiving something like this.
Replace Dad’s grungy old apron with a new fandangled apron and BBQ tool set, with each tool engraved with a personalised message. Or gift him a beer tool belt or stainless steel icecubes, things he won’t have ever known he needed until he gets them.
Another fantastic idea is to gift him an upmarket metal modish photo collage for his man cave or office, featuring custom stylings, photos and quotes.

50th gifts for women
First of all, she’s not going to be able to go past celebrating her big Five 0 with wine featuring chic bottle labels with sayings like ’50 and fabulous’ and ’50 – age improves with wine’ so better just arrange that now.
But if you’re keen to focus on tomorrow – after the big party – then she’ll love this personalised chopping board or terrarium that you grow yourself.

Gifts for the young at heart
“They’re only 50.” You start saying that when you turn 40, don’t you? But it’s true. 50 is the new 30, so don’t be shy about arranging something truly amazing for the young at heart like a ticket to a rock concert or sports event.
If they love games, invest in a new dart board or take them on an adventure or orientating day. If you get the vibe they’re ready to party then throw them the ultimate 50th surprise party or buy them the most fun 50th party tshirt.
It’s not about them forgetting that they’re 50. It’s about them not caring that they are.
