50th Birthday Gift Ideas for Him
A 50th birthday, often referred to as the Golden Jubilee, marks half a century of life and wisdom. Many choose to celebrate this golden milestone with something memorable, luxurious, or deeply personal.
Wondering what you could gift him? Worry not - Wowcher is here to help. The traditional gift for a 50th birthday is gold. While gold jewellery is a timeless choice, you might also consider gold-accented watches, personalised gold-toned keepsakes, or indulgent gifts that feel rich and luxurious in spirit.
Looking to gift something a little different? Here are a few thoughtful suggestions we believe could truly hit the mark:
- Experience Gifts: Gift him an unforgettable experience such as a luxury weekend break, a wine-tasting escape, or a Michelin-starred dining experience - something that gives him a story to tell, not just a present to unwrap.
- Timeless Keepsakes: Opt for a meaningful piece of jewellery like a gold bracelet or engraved watch to mark the golden milestone and serve as a constant reminder of how far he’s come.
- Tech Gifts: Whether it’s the latest iPhone, a pair of premium noise-cancelling headphones, or a smart ring that tracks health with style, a high-spec gadget adds both function and flair.
Unusual Gifts
If he's the type who’s done it all and has everything, go for a gift that surprises him, challenges him, or adds an unexpected thrill to his celebration.
- Adrenaline Adventures: Book him in for a supercar driving experience, a bungee jump, rifle shooting day, or a rock-climbing session - something to get the blood pumping and the heart racing, proving 50 is still fearless.
- The Great Escape (Room): An escape room experience is a brilliant bonding activity that’ll test his wits and keep the fun going - ideal for the man who loves a challenge.
- Bottomless with a Twist: Choose a bottomless brunch with a quirky twist, like one hosted in a cabaret bar, drag show, or even a silent disco setup - brunching will never be the same again.
Luxury Gifts
If there were ever a time to splash out, turning 50 is it - treat him to something premium that oozes sophistication and says “you’ve earned this.
- Designer Timepieces: A luxury watch from a top brand like Michael Kors or Emporio Armani isn’t just stylish - it’s symbolic, marking a milestone that deserves timeless elegance.
- Spa Breaks with a Gold Standard: Book a spa retreat that includes a Turkish Hammam experience, fine dining, and perhaps a private suite for a fully pampered birthday escape.
- High-End Gadgets: Think big: the latest MacBook, an advanced smartwatch, or even a smart coffee machine that brews barista-level drinks at home - because luxury is in the little moments too.
Funny Gifts
Not all 50th birthday gifts need to be serious - if he’s got a cracking sense of humour, then lean into laughter with cheeky, witty and wildly entertaining picks.
- Comedy Night Out: Surprise him with tickets to a stand-up comedy show or a comedy sightseeing tour bus through London - guaranteed belly laughs and a proper knees-up.
- Karaoke Mayhem: Book a private karaoke booth where he can relive his ‘80s and ‘90s glory days (whether or not he can actually hold a tune).
- Gag Gifts: Throw in a funny grooming kit, a novelty mug that pokes fun at turning 50, or even a T-shirt declaring his ‘vintage’ status - humour always hits the right note.
Turning 50 isn’t the end of the road - it’s a shiny new lane on the highway of life, preferably with cruise control. Whether you go bold, lavish or light-hearted, the perfect gift should match his personality and mark this milestone in a meaningful way.
