5 gifts for a 50 year old

5 replies

TheDefiant · 06/11/2024 21:04

Based on an idea I had on another thread I was wondering if you might have ideas of small gifts I could buy a 50 year old (well in a few weeks!).

I'm thinking 5 small gifts to represent the end of each decade.

One hitch is we've agreed "no more stuff" so gifts should be edible, drinkable, digital or experiences.

Recipient is male, my DH. Not into sport. A foodie. A nerd.

Gosh, I think the Venn diagram of 'no stuff' x 5 things x 'small gifts' is really restrictive.

For a foodie (in particular), would a voucher for a special meal not be easier ?

Get him a really nice watch that he loves. They don’t take up a lot of space but he can wear it all the time.

@NewName24 it really is restrictive!

So far I'm thinking a mushroom growing set (experience and food in one!) it is stuff I suppose but it's a consumable item
A cheese set
A bottle of wine
I'll probably get him a T shirt (he wears them to destruction so they are effectively a consumable).

Always looking for new ideas.

Gift card for Costa/Greggs/Nandos etc.
Tickets for a trip, say to an exhibition at a local museum if costs are to be kept to a minimum, or a weekend away if not.
A candle.
Lottery ticket.
Posher than usual shower gel or after shave.
