50 Gifts

[Challdell]

Hi
My Sister will be 50th at the beginning of March and we have just found out that she will be having her long awaited surgery 2 weeks before so will be unable to celebrate the way we / she had planned. She also will be pretty much out of action for atleast 6 months.

i have foolishly agreed with my Mum to give her 50 gifts as her present.

Im looking for various value of gifts but it’s not as easy as I first thought.
Has anyone done anything similar or lead me to where I can find some inspiration please?

Sorry, I don't see the value in this, when I was 50 I appreciated the gifts given, not to unwrap 50 presents for the sake of it! It was lockdown yet such a memorable day for me as those who about me made an effort to bring presents round and send video messages, kindeo wow! Sounds like a nice idea but a big no from me!!

Today is my 50th and my husband has made bunting from 50 packets of maltesers! So 40 creme eggs for my 40th and now this!

@flowerpotmike oh I like that. I'm 50 next year..... might have to request that !
Happy Birthday 🎂

Not, THAT I could get on board with! 😍

I would hate this, I’d prefer one nice present.

I would find it really embarrassing to open so many presents and then being thankful for each one. I feel stressed thinking about it.

A photo album with 50 photos in would be 50ish enough for me.

What a lovely sister you are.
I'm turning 50 this year and I'm another person who would hate the 50 gifts. I'm not a fan of stuff and I'd be concerned about the packaging etc. I agree it could be overwhelming. I think there are better ways of showing how much you love and value her.

With threads like this I am always curious to what some people would class as "one gift". (all the ones saying that 50 gifts would be too much and overwhelming etc).
What I mean is for example at Christmas I would have quite liked a set of books that are a series of 8. If I had been gifted that - is that 1 gift or 8 gifts?
You could easily have 50 separate gifts but only 5 or 6 different types of gifts. So a basket of different cheeses or whatever isn't 1 gift but several gifts.

Another no from me at any age. If I'd been given old coins and keepsakes at 18 I'd probably still have them cluttering up my house now in my 50s because you feel you can't get rid of them even if you don't really want them. I do have various things like this from childhood that I can't bring myself to get rid of even though I don't actually want them, its just a burden.

£500 to buy 50 books and some chocolate would be my choice, as part of the gift is the opportunity to choose them yourself.
