anyone have an idea for a birthday present for a 50 yr old male
- Thread starter Francine
- Start date
A bit of whatever he likes to drink, bottle of scotch, or a nice "different" liqueur.
My hubby is 49 and recently I organised for him to have a facial. If you had told me even a month ago that he would EVER, EVER agree to having facial I would have laughed you out of the room. I reckoned he would have been hiding his head inside his armpit on the way in the salon
.
Maybe get him a voucher for a facial, and watch him squirm.

.good choice and bring a camera
I always like to get undies and socks cos I never get around to going shopping for them myself. You know there is no greater pleasure in life than wearing a new pair of undies that have elastic in them that does not let you down.
A CD is good if you know what he would like.
Have you heard the new one from this years aria award winner Geoffrey Guramal Yunupingu (spelling)
Absolutely mesmerising.

Depends on how good a friend as to how much you want to pay but some ideas:
I saw in Australia Post they have gift vouchers for things like the Gold (loungechair) seating at Greater Union (?) theatres; Bunnings Vouchers, General movie passes etc. I plan to buy myself a Gold seat to see 'Australia' when it is released. Very very comfortable and only 30 people in the cinema with food and drinks service.
Unless you know what they like a CD is a tad risky. How about an engraved pen?
We are going to a 50th tonight! And I bought a redballoon gift voucher from the Internet, which he can exchange for things like 'experiences' - massages, extreme sports etc.

i'd go for a gift certificate or something that can be used up (and repeated next year), rather than try and guess what he might like.
hubby always looks forward to the full hour massage voucher i get him each birthday. a bunning gift cert is a great idea, or maybe borders bookstore (then he can buy his own cd/books). socks and undies might be a bit personal depending on your relationship. the alcohol idea is great - except that my uncle received about 10 large bottles of scotch on his 70th birthday! a magazine subscription to something they enjoy is great as it keeps going all year (and you buy them a copy of the current mag to put the gift cert in).

gift ideas for a guys 50th
thanks. lots of great ideas there.
they can afford anything and i cant.
if i would just give a card they would understand.
i'll see what i'll do but thanks for the information its been very helpful.
my daughter also has trouble knowing what to buy her boyfriend who also can buy himself anything. so these ideas are really useful.

I got one of these (through Westpac altitude rewards) for my son on his 18th birthday. That was a year ago; they only hold them every few months. The first one got cancelled so it was rebooked, then the second one got cancelled
So we got the "money" back! A shame, he would have loved it.Actually, this reminds me of when hubby had a copy of the front page of the newspaper from the day of his birth (for somebody from his work) and bought a Crazy Clark el cheap (but doesn't look cheap) frame. I had forgotten about it, but that is a nice thing to hang on the wall (as long as something yucky didn't happen that particular day ).
).that reminds me - i've sent hubby on a tandem hang glider flight and a dogfight in a tiger moth. he threw me out of a plane.
all were a real thrill.
That was the first thought that came into my head too.
If he already has an 18 year old, you could check out http://www.redballoondays.com.au/
