What an honor and a milestone to turn 50! To survive (and hopefully thrive) for 50 long trips around the sun! Deemed the “golden jubilee,” a person’s 50th birthday is something to be recognized, celebrated, and marveled over. A monumental birthday calls for some memorable gifts, and we’ve collected here five of our absolute favorites.

Set of 2Monogram Toasting Flutes

When you get to an age like this, you deserve to pop the bubbly and enjoy yourself. Help the birthday guy or gal by gifting this set of 2 monogram toasting flutes – you’d have to look far and wide to find a better way to drink a glass of champagne. Classy and elegant, these glasses will have anyone relaxing into the moment and embracing their arrival at a mature and wise state of being. They may not “feel” all that mature and wise after a few glasses of champagne, of course, but they can always fake it!

Simple Monogrammed Beer Mug

Of course, not everyone has a taste for champagne. Maybe they prefer a good beer! If so, check out this simple monogrammed beer mug, which would be a proud addition to any home bar. Etched with the classic monogram look, this gift is perfect for anyone who wants to add a degree of personalization and style to their customary cold one. Pair the mug with a six-pack of the recipient’s favorite brew (or one they haven’t had a chance to try yet), and you have a winning birthday gift for anyone getting ready to turn 50.

Custom Text BBQ Set

Anyone who enjoys grilling out has likely reached a stage of mastery by the time their 50th birthday approaches. Then again, even “good enough” can be improved upon. If the birthday boy (or girl) is still flipping their burgers with a plastic spatula from the kitchen, this is an excellent opportunity to help them take their grilling game to the next level. This Custom BBQ Set contains all the tools one needs to make outdoor cooking the pleasure it should be, and it comes in a handsome, customized box that is a lively decoration in its own right.

Home Sweet Home Slate Sign

Slate signs have recently become THE thing to hang outside your front door when you want to inject your home with a sense of class and charm. Of course, you don’t have to put this Home Sweet Home sign outside. It would go just as well on an interior wall, in the kitchen, or anywhere else it adds something to the décor. This makes for a lovely 50th birthday gift for anyone who prizes family, loved ones, and the magic that can only be found within one’s own walls.

Custom Notebook

When you reach such a lofty age as 50, you probably have more than a few thoughts about life – both yours and life in general. If there’s any mistake we repeatedly make these days, it’s in pretending that the elders of our society have little wisdom to pass on. Wisdom – true wisdom – cannot come from a book. It doesn’t come packed with a university degree. It can only come through lived experience. If you know someone whose wisdom could improve the world (even a little), give them this notebook so they can start sharing it!
