What to give a man 50 years old?

Fiftieth anniversary is one of the most significant dates in the life of any person, and it is simply impossible to ignore such a holiday. Of course, it is very important for the birthday boy that on such a day he would be surrounded by close people. But still come to the birthday, when such a round date, without a gift somehow not accepted. The latter should be as non-trivial as the reason for the celebration itself, therefore, the choice of a presentation should be conscious and deliberate.

In general, choosing a gift for a man for an anniversary, it is important not to be limited to too standard decisions, focusing on the hobbies of the hero of the day. At the age of 50, people are often not strict fans of the most modern ideas, but they are clearly defined in life and know what they want - these are the gifts that you need to give. At the same time, contrary to popular belief, the fact of the 50th anniversary does not mean that the gift should be insanely expensive - it all depends on how close your relationship is with the hero of the occasion.

Consider the main criteria that the selected present must meet.

• Originality. For half a century of life, a person has probably not been given anything, and if he is also quite successful, you will not surprise him with anything standard. Get creative if you don't want your box to be one of many.
• Elegance. A beautiful date requires beautiful gifts. In principle, the gift itself may be inexpensive, but it should not look like cheap stuff - try to observe the solemnity of the moment.
• Value. A gift may not be expensive if the birthday person is not close to you. But do not forget that on such a date it’s better not to give anything at all than to deliver something “for the sake of sight”. If the man is not even a relative to you and is not your friend, give a decent (average price) gift - who knows, suddenly such a manifestation of attention will just make you friends.
• Quality. It is fundamentally important to give those things on such a holiday that for a long time will benefit a person, or at least do not disappoint him immediately. This is exactly the case when Chinese products of unknown brands are unlikely to fit - the status of the anniversary does not allow to doubt any details.
• Practicality. Souvenirs, even very beautiful ones, are not perceived as a gift for a man on such a round date.

Sometimes, out of inexperience, people give things that even theoretically cannot be a good gift. Consider where you can make a mistake:

• various sweaters, slippers, plaids and even more so, underwear for 50 years as a gift does not suit in any way and from anyone - it's too small;
• shirt or tie they are only relevant from a team that has already given it more than once and knows its size and favorite color - they don’t expect such presents from home, and a casual person will simply miss the choice, because the man’s tastes have already been established;
• perfume it is not worth giving almost never - in a cheap version it is too small for a presentation, in an expensive one - it may not suit the hero of the day and will make you regret the waste;
• elite alcohol it can be a gift from a friend or colleagues, but inside the family it is not customary to give such gifts;
• men's cosmetics almost never will be perceived by a man as a good gift, especially if you thought of handing such a thing in public;
• souvenirs and interior decoration a woman will like it, but a man will most likely be uninteresting;
• comic presents - this is always a huge risk, because on his anniversary a person is waiting for serious gifts that will be useful to him in life, and not just the opportunity to laugh once;
• pet - this is a huge responsibility, the donor cannot know in advance whether the hero of the day is ready to take on new responsibilities and take care of the pet, therefore this is handed out only if the order was formulated clearly and unambiguously.

By the age of 50, a man probably already got a family, and children at his fiftieth birthday could well have grown up and become independent. This means that from a son or daughter, a father expects gifts most of all, because these are very close people who know the dad's tastes well. As a rule, in this case, gifts that show respect and care will work well.

• Status things. Contrary to the “expensive” name of this category, things here can come from completely different price categories - from a wallet or a leather briefcase to modern gadgets. Any of these gifts will allow you to show your own solvency in the team, but at the same time is useful.

• Ways to relax after work. This category, of course, is very amateurish, since to some extent it can even be called souvenirs. On the other hand, these things are very practical, since they allow a hard-working person to be distracted and switch their thoughts to solving completely remote tasks.

• Practical gifts. Here we include what is sure to come in handy in life.The easiest way to come up with the ideas of such a presentation is if the hero of the occasion drives the car on his own - there may not be a DVR or a good radio.

• Accessories for fishing. Most men have a certain interest in fishing, and if your father is also an avid angler, then it is on this topic that you should push when choosing a gift. Many people of the older generation in the old fashioned way catch simple rods without any frills - maybe it's time to give a modern spinning rod.

• Music. At 50 years old, many people feel nostalgia for the old days, they do not always like the modern world with its trends. This also applies to music that you no longer hear on radio stations, so why not give your father a collection of songs of his youth. Here, of course, it all depends on tastes, the main thing is to give something that will resonate, because it is possible that the beloved genre has no binding to certain years.

• Cooking utensils. There are men for whom the cuisine as a whole or the preparation of one particular dish is a favorite pastime. Provide them with a simplification of this task, and they will be sincerely happy, because a brazier, grill or even an expensive coffee machine can be a very good option.

When choosing a gift for your father, remember that he belongs to a completely different generation and probably has different values ​​than you and your peers. Trying to come up with something really original, do not go too far, focusing on modern trends - perhaps your parent would be more happy about something that you yourself think is outdated and absolutely not cool.

Beloved wife is a person with whom her whole life has passed. Not only does she unequivocally relate to the next of kin, along with parents and children, but she is also the one who can not miss the choice of an original birthday present, after all, he probably knows the slightest habits of a loved one well.

• Jewelry. Men are usually not very greedy for gifts of this type, but the status of the holiday itself involves the delivery of expensive gifts. Silver in this case looks rather modest, therefore it is better to give gold, even if it will be very little.

• Growth portrait. It would seem that in the modern world a portrait - it is painted, not a photograph - a good gift, but not pulling to the level of fifty years. Perhaps this is true if it is limited to only one face, but in a completely different way it will be perceived if the person being presented is depicted in full growth. So once painted aristocrats and commanders, because it looks impressive - in short, the perfect option for the anniversary.

• Master Class. Honestly, this option is quite risky, and for the whole pathos of the round date described in this article, it fits little. Rather, this is a good way not to follow holiday traditions, but to try to give your husband what he himself would like to receive. Here it is very important that the jubilee should be interested in the lesson the master class is dedicated to, and this is usually painting or cooking, sometimes also modeling and pottery.

• Extreme It is generally accepted that extreme entertainment is interesting for young people, but this is a common mistake. Imagine for a second that a man all his youth dreamed of jumping with a parachute, but all the time something was hindering - either student half-starved youth, then the needs of a young family. Years passed quickly, and now there are exactly two options: either fulfill all dreams immediately until old age begins, or finally admit that life has passed.

• Rocking chair. Choosing such a gift, one should catch the fine line of the mood of the beloved man. On the one hand, an aged person especially needs comfort, he will have a good time in a comfortable chair with a good book, on the other hand, such a gift is steadily associated with older people, and by the age of 50, not everyone is ready to associate with old age, even very comfortable. Therefore, such a present can be received with enthusiasm by some anniversaries, but for others it should be postponed for at least another couple of years.

It should be noted that the wife is probably the only person from whom a fifty-year-old man can take flowers. However, they should be taken solely as an addition to the main gift, they can never completely replace it, even if the hero of the occasion belongs to a rare category of men who adore such presents.

These two types of guests are not in vain combined into one section - by the age of fifty, a man’s real friends are so old that you won’t immediately understand if these people are blood relatives. Relations between such people are usually trusting, but at the same time devoid of excessive officialdom allowing for various comic and funny situations. If someone is supposed to give cool and funny creative gifts that day, then only to a friend - he alone knows how to amuse a friend or brother without losing his dignity. Whatever it is, consider the most popular ideas.

• Status. A good friend or brother, like children, will definitely emphasize once again that a person has achieved a lot in his life and deserves an appropriate attitude, only to express it a little differently. For example, only an approximate one-year-old understands how important comfort is at this age, because a chic leather armchair for working in the office or relaxing is the best option.

• Painting. And what else is not another status gift - whatever one may say, this is not a photograph that is taken at the touch of a button, then someone really tried, put their soul into it. This is one of the few options for decoration for the interior that everyone will like, especially if art is not foreign to the hero of the day.

• Swiss Watches. Again, status, but also with a specific practical application. Such a gift does not indicate the time that is running out - it only allows you to understand that true friendship is eternal.

• Elite alcohol. The desire to drink is characteristic of so many men - there is nothing wrong with relaxing after a hard day's work thanks to a small amount of an expensive drink. It is from a friend who understands the situation that such a present can be as appropriate as possible, and in addition you can also give a stylish flask or glasses.

• Certificate in a sewing studio. If a man by his 50s has achieved some success in his career, one of his constant duties is to constantly tidy and attractive appearance. You can, of course, give a person a suit, but you can’t pick it up in perfect execution without thinking - it doesn’t fit in the figure, then the color is not perfect.In order not to act blindly, you can just give a person a certificate for a certain amount, and even let him consult with tailors about how the result should look.

• Table games. Nowadays, such a gift can be very original and unique, but closer to old age a person wants something relatively simple and familiar, because even checkers and chess will be a good option. Naturally, avoid absolutely banal and cheap Chinese sets - let the game have at least some signs of status performance.

• Telescope. A great option for dreamers, especially if the work schedule is no longer as hard as in youth, and allows you to stay out for a long time, watching the stars.

• Comic orders. If you did not come up with anything else, then such a souvenir, of course, will be a completely stupid gift, but as an addition to the main present, it may seem interesting. It can be a symbolic medal with the inscription “Best friend” or “Best brother”, and although it is impossible to apply it, it will still be pleasant for a man.

The remaining relatives, whom we have not yet mentioned, are considered more distant, but nevertheless the fiftieth anniversary is too important a date to ignore it in the case of uncle, father-in-law, godfather, father-in-law or matchmaker. Perhaps for such a relative, the very fact that you gave at least something will already be a pleasant surprise - well, all the better. We will consider what gifts may be appropriate.

• Original photo frame. Today, frames are more often presented in electronic form, but for a person of a respectable age it is better to give not Chinese small things, but something solid and durable.

• Anniversary coin. Nowadays, the service sector is so developed that they can make absolutely any memorabilty to order, which at least will not lack a lack of originality. As a good souvenir, you can make a commemorative coin, which is dedicated to the anniversary of a relative. You must admit that there are few higher honors than to be awarded your own coin, and although the gift copy has not been issued by the Central Bank and has no payment properties, such a step says a lot.

• Poem. Another gift, which with all the clarity shows respect for the person - of course, if it is written specifically and it guesses the description of the hero of the day.

• Photo collage or video compilation. Age over 50 is exactly the time when nostalgia overcomes the most and is drawn to recall the past. Modern technologies make it possible to ensure that these memories never fade, preserved in the form of photo albums or videos - relatives can arrange all this in the form of a beautiful collection.

In the office team, it is customary to congratulate the boss every year, and even more so the anniversary cannot be missed. At the same time, from year to year, the choice falls on practical, but always the same gifts, but on such a significant date, a good chef would like to give a truly memorable gift. Unusual solutions can be invented even in this case.

• Souvenir saber. This is a very strong move - such gifts are usually given only to prominent people whose authority is not questioned even by contemporaries. Of course, they usually give real weapons to those, and you, with a high degree of probability, will have a souvenir, but still this is a good option for the director.

• Piece of Mars or the Moon. It is even more difficult to get such a souvenir in real performance - even though there are real samples on our planet, no one will sell them to you, and they would cost a lot of money, but it still won’t prove authenticity. Moreover, even a purely symbolic gift of this kind shows that the team members, if necessary, are ready to get even a star from the sky for their leader, and this is very inspiring and motivates to conquer even the most difficult peaks.

• Dear cigars. Such a gift will suit the chef only if he smokes, but if it is, this is a great gift option. It is generally accepted that such a smoking affiliation is something out of the ordinary; in our country, only people who have reached a certain status usually allow themselves such things.

If there are no special ideas regarding the gift, not forbidden to give even just money, just do it with a share of creativity. For example, the same amount donated in rubles and in some prestigious foreign currency is perceived completely differently in favor of the second option.

Often, the best gifts for a person who already has everything are unusual souvenirs made with their own hands - in fact they are original, that not a single copy exists. Let's face it, in most cases, such a gift is more like an addition to a more expensive one, but in some special cases, such a decision turns out to be very appropriate and may offend the birthday man.

• Greeting card or poster. These things are considered an indispensable attribute of a birthday, however, anyone in every store can buy them, which greatly levels their value. Another thing is if you made a card or a collage yourself, as a rule, you need at least an hour of time and good imagination, which means that you have not come to the solution of the problem with minimal impact.

• Exclusive mug. The easiest option is to make a personalized mug by simply entrusting it to the hands of masters who will apply any pattern you provide to its surface. Thanks to this approach, you can apply anything from the symbols of your favorite team or musician to the personal photos of the hero of the anniversary, where he is captured at the best moments of his life.

• Collection of wishes. Like it or not, any person needs attention from others, and his own anniversary, like no other date, is suitable for manifestations of warmth towards the hero of the occasion. In this regard, it is possible not to spend money, but simply to show minimal organizational skills by compiling a wish book for the hero of the day, where the maximum number of his relatives and friends will leave their own wishes.

• Knitted clothes. Such a gift is very good from the wife - usually it is such relatives who are well versed in sewing and knitting, and also have a relatively long time for this. Self-made scarf, sweater, hat or mittens show that the donor is worried about the birthday man, he is ready to sit out in the evenings in order to provide the hero of the occasion with at least a little warmth in winter cold.
