Turning 50 can be both exciting and challenging. As family obligations begin to ease up, many adults have the freedom and resources to experiment with different interests and lifestyles. Many 50-year-olds take this opportunity to reflect upon their lives and decide upon a different direction for their second act. Select a gift that will enhance your favorite 50-year-old's present life or provide opportunities for future growth.
Encourage Travel
-
You may find your friend or relative spending time looking for great deals on airfare or researching new, exotic destinations. Make her travel experience a more comfortable one with an ergonomically designed shoulder bag, rolling suitcase or U-shaped pillow for long-distance road trips and flights. Organize a group gift and provide her with an all-paid trip to her favorite destination or spa. If she enjoys the outdoors, plan a weekend fishing or camping trip. Great 50th birthday gift ideas for nature lovers also include cameras, binoculars, outdoor dinner sets, backpacks and other camping gear.
Support Hobbies and Interests
-
Your favorite 50-year-old may prefer staying closer to home and devoting more time to his hobbies. Gardeners will appreciate receiving an attractive watering can with kneeling pads, a gardening apron and gloves, seeds and hand tools. Alternatively, you could give a piece of sculpture or lawn art that adds balance and texture to a well-designed landscape. Give wine lovers a large basket filled with the latest wine book, new wine glasses, bottle coasters and the latest gadgets. If your friend or relative enjoys collecting art or other memorabilia, add to his collection or give tools such as easels and display racks that will help him better display these special items.
Give New Experiences
-
Find out what your favorite 50-year-old has always dreamed of doing. If she likes to sing or play an instrument, arrange for a session at a recording studio or lesson with a coach. A wordsmith will welcome a paid membership to a professional writers group. Provide her with opportunities to try out new hobbies and interests. These could include gift certificates for yoga and Pilates studios, language and golf lessons, skydiving and scuba-diving sessions and hot air balloon rides. Help her set and achieve new fitness goals by paying her membership at a nearby health club.
