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 such a holiday simply cannot be ignored. Of course, for the birthday person it is very important that close people surround him on such a day. But all the same, coming to a birthday, when such a round date, is somehow not accepted without a gift. The latter should be as non-trivial as the reason for the celebration itself, therefore the choice of the present should be deliberate and deliberate.

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

Let's consider the main criteria that the selected present must meet.

• Originality. For half a century of life, a person has certainly 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 become one of the many.
• Elegance. A beautiful date requires beautiful gifts. In principle, the gift itself may be inexpensive, but it should not look like cheap - try to observe the solemnity of the moment.
• Value. The gift may not be expensive if the birthday person is not close to you. But do not forget that on such a date it is better, in general, not to give anything, than to give something “for show”. If a 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 on such a holiday to give those things that will benefit a person for a long time, or at least will not disappoint him right away. This is exactly the case when Chinese products of unknown brands are unlikely to fit - the status of the anniversary does not allow doubting any details.
• Practicality. Souvenirs, even very beautiful ones, are not perceived as a gift for a man on such a round date.

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

• various sweaters, slippers, blankets and even more so underwear for 50 years as a gift is not suitable in any way and from anyone - this is too small;
• shirt or tie are appropriate only from a team that has already given this more than once and knows the size and favorite color - they do not expect such gifts from home, and a random person will simply miss the choice, because the tastes of men are already well established;
• perfume you should almost never give as a gift - in a cheap version it is too small for a present, in an expensive one - it may not suit the hero of the day and will make you regret spending;
• elite alcohol may be a gift from a friend or colleagues, but within the family it is not accepted to give such gifts;
• 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 decor a woman will like it, but a man will most likely not be interested in them;
• comic gifts - 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 awarded only if the order was formulated clearly and unequivocally.

By the age of 50, the man has probably already started 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 his son or daughter almost most of all, because these are very close people who know well the tastes of the dad. As a rule, gifts that show respect and care are well suited in this case.

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

• Relaxation after work. This category, of course, is very for the amateur, since to some extent it can even be called souvenirs. On the other hand, these things are very practical, as they allow the hard working person to get distracted and focus their thoughts on solving completely detached tasks.

• Practical gifts. Here we include what will definitely come in handy in life.The easiest way to come up with ideas for such a presentation is if the hero of the occasion drives a car on his own - there may be a lack of a DVR or a good radio tape recorder.

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

• Music. At the age of 50, 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 can no longer be heard 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 your favorite genre has no ties to certain years.

• Culinary supplies... There are men for whom the kitchen in general or the preparation of one particular dish is a favorite pastime. Provide them with a simplification of such a 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 truly original, do not go too far, focusing on modern trends - perhaps your parent would be more happy about something that you yourself consider outdated and absolutely not cool.

A beloved wife is a person with whom I have spent my whole life. Not only does she unequivocally belong to the closest relatives, along with parents and children, but she is also the one who is able not to miss the mark in choosing an original birthday gift, for surely he knows the slightest habits of a loved one very well.

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

• Rostov portrait. It would seem that in the modern world, a portrait - just a drawn portrait, and not a photograph - is a good gift, but not reaching the level of fifty. Perhaps this is true if he is limited to only one face, but he will be perceived completely differently if the person being gifted is depicted in full growth. This is how aristocrats and generals were once painted, because it looks impressive - in a word, an ideal option for an anniversary.

• Master Class... To be honest, this option is rather risky, and it does not fit the whole pathos of a round date described in this article. Rather, it is a good way not to follow holiday traditions, but to try to give your husband what he himself would like to receive. It is very important here that the hero of the day was interested in the activity to which the master class is devoted, which is usually painting or cooking, sometimes also modeling and pottery.

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

• Rocking chair... Choosing such a gift, you should catch the fine line of the mood of your beloved man. On the one hand, a person of age especially needs comfort, it will be pleasant for him to spend time in a cozy armchair with a good book, on the other hand, such a gift is consistently associated with older people, and at 50, not every person is ready to associate himself with old age, even if even very comfortable. Therefore, such a present can be accepted with delight by some heroes of the day, but for others it should be postponed for at least a couple of years.

It should be noted that the wife is probably the only person from whom a man of fifty can receive flowers. However, they should be taken exclusively 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.

It is not for nothing that these two types of guests have been combined into one section - by the age of fifty, the man's real friends are already so long-standing that you cannot immediately understand whether these people are blood relatives. The relationship between such people is usually trusting, but at the same time, devoid of excessive officialdom, allowing various comic and funny situations. If anyone is supposed to give funny and funny creative gifts on this day, then only a friend - he alone knows how to cheer a friend or brother without losing his dignity. Whatever it is, let's take a look at the most popular ideas.

• Status. A good friend or brother, like children, will definitely once again emphasize that a person has achieved a lot in his life and deserves an appropriate attitude, only it will be expressed in a slightly different way. For example, only an approximate one-year-old understands how important comfort is at this age, therefore a chic leather chair for office work or leisure is the best option.

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

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

• Elite alcohol... The desire to drink is typical for 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 well 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 has achieved some success in his career by the age of 50, one of his constant responsibilities is a constantly neat and attractive appearance. You can, of course, give a person a suit, but it’s impossible to pick it up in perfect execution offhand - it doesn’t fit the figure, or the color is not ideal.In order not to act blindly, you can simply give a person a certificate for a certain amount, and let him consult with the tailors about how the result should look like.

• 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, so even checkers and chess will be a good option. Naturally, avoid completely 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 up for a long time watching the stars.

• Comic orders. 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 an addition to the main present, it may seem interesting. It can be a symbolic medal with the words "Best friend" or "Best brother", and although it is impossible to apply it in any way, the man will still be pleased.

The rest of the relatives, whom we have not yet mentioned, are considered more distant, but still the fiftieth birthday 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 very 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 more often presented in electronic form, but it is better to give a person at a respectable age not a Chinese little thing, but something solid and durable.

• Jubilee coin. Nowadays, the service sector is so developed that absolutely any memorable thing can be made to order, which, at least in originality, will not lack. As a good souvenir, you can make a commemorative coin dedicated to the anniversary of a relative. Agree, there are few higher honors than being awarded your own coin, and although the gift copy was not issued by the Central Bank and does not have payment properties, such a step still says a lot.

• Poem... Another gift that clearly shows respect for a person - of course, if it is written specially and the description of the hero of the day is guessed in it.

• Photo collage or video selection. Age over 50 is exactly the time when nostalgia overpowers most of all and pulls to remember the old days. 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 chief every year, and even more so, the anniversary cannot be missed. At the same time, from year to year, the choice falls on, albeit practical, but always the same gifts, but on such a significant date a good chef would like to present a truly memorable gift. Even in this case, you can come up with unusual solutions.

• Souvenir saber... This is a very strong move - such gifts are usually given only to outstanding people, whose authority is not questioned even by their contemporaries. Of course, those are usually given real weapons, and you are most likely to have a souvenir, but it's still a good option for a director.

• A piece of Mars or the Moon... It is even more difficult to get such a souvenir in a real version - although there are real samples on our planet, no one will sell them to you, and they would cost a lot of money, but it will still not work to prove the authenticity. At the same time, even a purely symbolic gift of this kind shows that team members, if necessary, are ready to get even a star from the sky for their leader, and this is very inspiring and motivating to conquer even the most difficult peaks.

• Expensive 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 achieved a certain status usually allow themselves such.

If there are no special ideas for a gift, it is not forbidden to give even just money, only it must be done 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 - that's why they are original, that not a single copy exists. Let's face it, in most cases such a gift is rather an addition to the more expensive one bought, but in some special cases, such a decision turns out to be very appropriate and can hurt the birthday man for a living.

• Postcard or poster. These things are considered an indispensable attribute of a birthday, but anyone can buy them in every store, which greatly negates their meaning. It's another matter if you made a postcard 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 a solution to the problem with minimal impact.

• Exclusive mug... The simplest option is to make a personalized mug, simply entrusting it to the hands of the masters who will apply any drawing you provide to its surface. Thanks to this approach, you can apply anything from the symbols of your favorite team or music artist to personal photographs 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 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 book of wishes 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 a 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 man, he is ready to sit in the evenings to provide the hero of the occasion with at least a little warmth in the winter cold.
