Great Gift Ideas for a Loved One’s 50th Birthday

Written by:  Jamie

A loved one’s 50th birthday can be an uncertain time. After all, many women embrace aging boldly and confidently, and others understandably feel a little deflated and dejected by it all. Things don’t fare much better for men either! Is turning 50 a cause for celebration, or a time of complaining about time moving too fast? It’s tricky to know, because it’s all down to the individual’s outlook!

However, no matter which way the pendulum swings for your special someone turning 50, there’re still great gift ideas out there. Even a charming 50th birthday card from Card Factory will help to smooth things over! Whether you’re celebrating the birthday with them in full force or just wanting to offer some support, a thoughtful gift will always get things back on track!

Consequently, here’re some great gift ideas for a loved one’s 50th!

 

A Photo Album

When someone reaches 50, the event is big enough that it can inspire some inward reflection. Perhaps that person will feel nostalgic for days gone by and start reminiscing about the major events that occurred in their life leading to this moment. Well, try and get ahead here and steer their nostalgia into a more positive direction with a photo album!

This gift will only likely be appropriate if you’ve known the recipient for a long while. Still, you could compile a bunch of photographs that feature all the great times you have had together. Did you go on camping trips as teenagers? Could there be any gorgeous wedding photos or embarrassing party moments captured forever? Compile these moments into a book, it’ll likely be a very special present for them!

 

Bottles of Wine

By todays standards at least, 50 isn’t exactly old anymore. People are living longer, and for some people, 50 can just be the halfway mark if they live to the 100! Still, some people still think that 50 is technically ‘old’, so why not play on that motif? After all, old isn’t a synonym for bad or inferior!

If you’re friend or family member is down about turning 50, then remind them that life is like a good bottle of wine; it gets better as the years go by! Invest in a delicious bottle and have a drink together while mulling over the good times. It’s the perfect way to punctuate an evening of celebrations.

 

A Comfy Dressing Gown

Turning 50 is verging on retirement age, so why not celebrate that fact? The landmark birthday needn’t be something that’s dreaded so intensely, so aim for a theme of relaxation in your gift giving. Of course, this might just give the recipient that go ahead to stop worrying and working all the time, and to chill out instead!

A comfy dressing gown could be just the ticket here. It can communicate to the recipient that it’s okay to start unwinding now, and to take time out for themselves. Even if they have the most hardened work ethic, what they could need is for someone to gently tell them that it’s okay to not be so full-on anymore. Perhaps they’ll take to turning 50 more when they’re reminded that there’s still lots of time to slow down, relax and enjoy life!
