50th birthday gifts, I never knew I needed!

I'm turning 50 in a few weeks. My husband and I had always planned to go on a cruise to celebrate this, as we also celebrated our 25 wedding anniversary at the end of last year. Unfortunately, this now cant happen. BUT, everyone is always asking what I'd like as a gift, saying I need to have a party etc! I don't want or need anything and I certainly don't want a party! So, my question is, does anyone have any ideas on what gifts I never knew i needed in my life? My parents want to buy me a nice piece of jewellery, but i just haven't seen anything that's shouting out to me! Hit me with some suggestions please.

A bit niche but very different- a taxidermy lesson? This one is in London, but I'm sure there would be some more local. 😆
