What to give a man for 50 years?

The 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, for a birthday man it is very important that close people surround him on such a day. But still coming on a birthday when such a round date is somehow not accepted without a gift. The latter should be as non-trivial as the very reason for the celebration, therefore the choice of a present should be deliberate and deliberate.

In general, choosing a gift for a man for an anniversary, it is important not to be limited to too standard solutions, focusing on the hobby of the hero of the day. In 50 years, 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 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 you have a relationship with the hero of the occasion.

Consider the main criteria that must match the selected gift.

• Originality. For half a century of life, a person probably hasn’t been given anything, and if he is also quite successful, you won’t be surprised by anything quite standard. Be creative if you do not want your box to become one of many.
• Elegance. Beautiful date requires beautiful gifts. In principle, the gift itself can be inexpensive, but it should not look like a cheap one - try to observe the solemnity of the moment.
• Value. A gift may not be expensive if the birthday is not close to you. But do not forget that on such a date it is better not to give anything at all than to give something “for the view”. If a man is not even a relative to you and is not your friend, hand in a worthy (average price) gift - who knows, suddenly such a manifestation of attention will make you friends.
• Quality. It is fundamentally important on such a holiday to give those things that for a long time will benefit the person, or at least do not disappoint him immediately. This is the case when the Chinese products of unknown brands are hardly suitable - the status of the anniversary does not allow to doubt any details.
• Practicality. As a gift for a man on such a round date, souvenirs, even if very beautiful, are not perceived.

Sometimes, due to inexperience, people give things that theoretically cannot be a good gift. Consider where you can go wrong:

• various sweaters, slippers, rugs and even more so, underwear for 50 years is no good as a gift and it is too small from anyone;
• shirt or tie they are relevant only from the team, who have repeatedly presented such things and know the size and favorite color - they do not expect such home presents, and an occasional person simply misses the choice, because the tastes of the man are already settled;
• perfume you should never give almost never - in a cheap performance it is too small for a present, in an expensive one - it may not suit the hero of the day and make you regret spending it;
• elite alcohol It may be a gift from a friend or colleagues, but it is not accepted to give such gifts within the family;
• men's cosmetics almost never will be perceived by a man as a good gift, especially if you thought of giving it in public;
• souvenirs and interior decoration like a woman, but a man, they are likely to be uninteresting;
• comic presents - it is always a huge risk, because in 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 - it 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, because this is handed over only if the order was formulated clearly and unequivocally.

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

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

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

• Practical gifts. Here we put what is sure to come in handy in life. The easiest way to come up with ideas for such a present in the event that the hero of the occasion drives the car on his own - there may not be enough DVR or a good radio tape recorder.

• Fishing accessories. Most of the men have a certain interest in fishing, and if your father is also an avid angler, then it is on this subject that you should press on when choosing a gift. Many older people in the old-fashioned way catch simple rods without any frills - perhaps it's time to hand over modern spinning.

• Music. At the age of 50, many people feel nostalgic for the old days, they don’t always like the modern world with its trends. This also applies to music that you cannot already hear on radio stations, so why not give your father a collection of songs from his youth. Here, of course, everything depends on tastes, the main thing is to give something that will find a response, because it is possible that the favorite genre does not have any bindings for certain years.

• Culinary Supplies. There are men for whom the kitchen as a whole or the preparation of one particular dish is a favorite activity. Provide them with a simplification of such a task, and they will be sincerely happy, because a grill, 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 certainly 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 pleased with something that you consider obsolete and absolutely not cool.

Beloved wife - this is a man with whom all her life has passed.Not only is she unequivocally related to the next of kin, along with parents and children, she is also able not to overshoot in choosing an original birthday present, surely he knows the slightest habits of a loved one.

• Jewelry. Men are usually not very greedy for gifts of this type, but the status of the holiday itself involves the presentation of expensive gifts. Silver in this case looks quite modest, because it is better to donate gold, even if it will be quite a bit.

• Growth portrait. It would seem that in the modern world a portrait - it is a painted one, and not a photograph - a good gift, but not drawing on the level of the fiftieth anniversary. Perhaps this is true if it is limited to only one person, but completely differently it will be perceived if the person presented is depicted in full growth. So once aristocrats and commanders painted, because it looks impressive - in a word, ideal for an anniversary.

• Master Class. To be honest, this option is quite risky, and for all the pathos of a round date described in this article it fits little. Rather, it is a good way not to follow the festive traditions, but to try to give the husband what he would like to receive. It is very important for the hero of the day to be interested in the occupation to which the master class is devoted, and this is usually painting or cooking, sometimes also modeling and pottery.

• Extreme It is believed that extreme entertainment is interesting for young people, but this is a common mistake. Imagine for a second that a man of all his youth dreamed of jumping with a parachute, but all the time something was in the way - the student’s half-starved youth, or the needs of a young family. The years passed unnoticed, and now there are exactly two options: either to fulfill all the dreams immediately, until old age has begun, or to finally admit that life has passed.

• Rocking chair. Choosing such a gift, you should catch a fine line of the mood of your beloved man. On the one hand, an aged man especially needs comfort, he will be pleased to spend time in a comfortable chair with a good book, on the other hand, such a gift is consistently associated with older people, and in 50 years not every person is ready to associate himself with old age, let even very cozy. Therefore, such a gift can be accepted with enthusiasm by some anniversary participants, and 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 perceived 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 gifts.

These two types of guests are not for nothing combined into one section - by the time they were fifty, real friends of a man are already so old that you won’t immediately understand if these people are blood relatives. The relationship between such people is usually trusting, but at the same time devoid of excessive formalism, allowing various comic and ridiculous situations.If anyone is supposed to give funny and fun creative gifts to this day, then only to a friend - he alone knows how to cheer a friend or brother without dropping his dignity. Whatever it is, consider the most popular ideas.

• Status. A good friend or brother, like children, will definitely underline the fact that a person has achieved a lot in his life and deserves an appropriate attitude, only it will be expressed somewhat differently. For example, only an exemplary one-year-old understands how important comfort is at this age, because an elegant leather chair for office or leisure is the best option.

• Painting. And what is not another status gift - whatever one may say, this is not a photo, which is done at the touch of a button, then someone really tried, he put his soul into it. This is one of the few options for decorating the interior, which will appeal to everyone, especially if the art of the hero of the day is not alien.

• Swiss Watches. Again, status, but also with specific practical application. Such a gift does not indicate the time that expires - it only makes it clear that true friendship is eternal.

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

• Certificate in a sewing studio. If a man has achieved a certain success in his career by his 50 years, one of his regular duties is to always have a neat and attractive appearance. You can, of course, give a person a costume, but without thinking it’s impossible to pick it up in perfect performance - it doesn’t fit the figure, or the color is not perfect. In order not to act blindly, you can simply give a person a certificate for a certain amount, and he himself should let the tailors consult on how the result should look.

• Board 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 the very banal and cheap Chinese sets - let the game have at least some signs of status execution.

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

• Comic Order. If you haven't come up with anything else, then such a souvenir, of course, will turn out to be a completely stupid gift, but as a complement to the main gift, it may seem interesting. This may be a symbolic medal with the inscription "Best Friend" or "Best Brother", and although it can never be applied, it will still be nice for a man.

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

• Original photo frame. Today, frames are often presented electronically, but a person at a good age is better to donate not Chinese small things, but something solid and durable.

• Commemorative coin. Nowadays, the service sector is so developed that absolutely any memorable thing can be made to order, which even the originality of lack will not experience. As a good souvenir, you can make a commemorative coin, which is dedicated to the anniversary of a relative. You will agree that there are few higher honors than to earn one’s own coin, and although the gift copy is not released by the Central Bank and does not have payment properties, yet such a move says a lot.

• Poem. Another gift that shows respect for a person with all the clarity, of course, if it is written on purpose and it describes the hero of the day.

• Photo collage or video selection. The age of 50 is exactly the time when nostalgia overcomes the most and pulls back to remember the old times. Modern technologies allow us to make these memories never fade, being preserved in the form of photo albums or video clips - 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, let alone the anniversary. At the same time, from year to year, the choice falls, albeit on practical, but always identical gifts, and after all, 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 outstanding people, whose authority is not questioned even by contemporaries. Of course, those are usually given real weapons, and you, with a high degree of probability, will have a souvenir, but still this is a good option for the director.

• Slice of Mars or Moon. Such a souvenir in the present version is even harder to get - even though real samples on our planet are present, no one will sell them to you, and they would be worth a lot of money, and it will not work to prove the authenticity anyway. At the same time, even a purely symbolic gift of this kind shows that the members of the team, if necessary, are ready to get even a star from the sky for their leader, and this is very inspiring and motivating even the most difficult peaks to conquer.

• Dear cigars. Such a gift will suit the chef only if he smokes, but if he does, this is a great gift option. It is considered that such smoking belonging is something out of the ordinary, in our country only people who have attained a certain status usually afford this kind of thing.

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

Often the best gifts for a person who already has everything, are unusual souvenirs made by his own hand - something original, that not a single copy exists. Let's face it, in most cases, such a gift is more likely an addition to a more expensive purchased one, but in some special cases such a decision turns out to be very appropriate and can offend the birthday man for living.

• Postcard or poster. These things are considered an indispensable attribute of a birthday, but anyone in every store can buy them, which greatly levels their importance. It’s another thing if you made your own postcard or collage, as a rule, you need at least an hour of time and a good imagination, which means that you no longer come to solving the problem with minimal impact.

• Exclusive mug. The simplest option is to make a personalized mug, simply by entrusting it into the hands of the masters, who will put any drawing you provide on its surface. Thanks to this approach, you can apply anything from the symbols of your favorite team or musical performer to personal photos of the hero of the day, where he is captured in the best moments of his life.

• Collection of wishes. Whatever one may say, any person needs attention from others, and his own anniversary, like no other date, is suitable for the manifestations of warmth in the direction of the hero of the occasion. In this regard, it is possible and not to spend money, but simply to show the minimum organizational skills, creating a book of wishes for the hero of the day, where the maximum number of his family and friends will leave their own wishes.

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