50th Birthday Gifts

Turning half a century is one of those milestones anyone is unlikely to forget. At this age, the birthday celebrant has lived for fifty whole years. It’s a momentous occasion. Celebrating fifty years of someone’s life comes with the pressure to do something BIG, to buy something outrageous; you put the pressure on yourself because you want to make it the best it can be… unless you couldn’t care less, get too stressed thinking about it or are in denial about your loved one turning the big 5-0. Whatever your thoughts are about gifting, we’re here for you. Think of us as your knights in gifting armour. We understand that every individual has their own way of thinking and, therefore, their own way of gifting. To streamline your gifting process, we have various ways to help you find that 50th birthday gift with as much ease as possible.

You know who you’re buying for

Knowing who the gift is for is half the battle. Your relationship with them helps massively, both personally and in a general gifting manner. From mum to dad and friend to husband, our filtering system will provide a selection of gifts suited to each with the likes of afternoon teas and personalised keepsakes for the women in your life and supercar experiences and unique whisky decanters for the men; of course, you can buy these for the opposite sex too. There are no rules to making your loved one happy on their special day.

You know exactly what you’re looking for

You’ve been waiting for this moment since they turned 49 and you’ve probably been saying “only one more year until you’re fifty” over and over again. Haven’t you? You’re excited, we get it. Don’t let us stop you from getting closer to that birthday gift. Simply go to the top of the page, type your gift idea into the search bar and press send. If you’re gift is an experience, a personalised item or a novelty gift like this pair of old racing grannies, we might just have what you’re looking for. If we don’t, we’re sorry but we’re not the be all and end all of gifting (although we are very good); some of the gifts you won’t find here are the likes of flowers, lingerie, fragrance, clothing and high-end jewellery. Nevertheless, we will do our best in pointing you in the right direction, no matter if you buy with us or not.

You know the occasion, but not the gift

Well, there’s only one occasion we’re talking about on this particular page and it’s a 50th birthday. There are so many moments leading up to this milestone and we’re certain you want to try and outrank them all. Whilst we can’t promise that, we do have a range of gifts that will provide memories, tears (the good kind) and laughter. From experiences such as visiting a salt cave to taking part in a bike tour around Hampton Court Palace, there’s plenty more moments to be had on this side of fifty. If you want to make them shed a tear, a piece of jewellery with your handwriting as an engraved feature might just do the trick. For making them laugh, there’s the racing grannies as above, but also a whole range of novelty items that will make them chuckle, especially if they’re age-related like these Old Fart Pills.

You know what they will love but need a nudge in the right direction

You’ve known your loved one for a very long time and so you know and love all their quirks, what makes them stand out and what they love to do. If you’re still unsure, ask yourself questions about their likes and dislikes. Are they an animal lover? Gift them an adoption pack of their favourite animal. Do they love history and nature? An English Heritage Membership will allow them to visit more places around the UK. Do they love to relax and stay in the comfort of their home? The Calm Club range has a Big Night In gift set for those nights of much-needed R&R. There are three things to remember (and this counts for every type of gift) experience, sentimentality, and fun. As long as you are providing these three gifting ingredients, you’re onto a winner.

You need something ASAP, whatever the gift

Time is a funny old thing. We bet your loved one about to turn fifty is pondering the exact same thing. What you’re thinking about is the fact that you haven’t found a gift and time is running out. Fast. Just take a look at our range of gifts that can be with you on Next Day Delivery. You won’t find anything that can be personalised – that ship sailed about two weeks ago – but you’ll find some fun and fabulous gifts as well as experiences that can be sent to your email as an eVoucher in as little as thirty minutes.
