1. A Wine or Whiskey Set:
A nice quality bottle of wine, whiskey, or a set with glasses and accessories. You can set your budget here, because some Whiskey or Wine in my opinion is crazy money, or you could get a cheaper Supermarket brand and present it in a box with some glasses, and maybe biscuits. Take a look at these ideas to give you some inspiration.
2. Personalized gifts to mark his 50th
A personalized gift with his name and who it’s from can be a great keepsake and special gift. Think of personalized items like a monogrammed leather wallet, custom-made cufflinks, or a personalized family name sign.
3. Experience gifts
You could gift him an experience, like tickets to a concert, theater show, or a hot air balloon ride for a memorable day out.
Or alternative experiences are ones that you make yourself, for example make him a voucher for a day out with you, where you make the picnic and take him on a walk – anything really – it doesn’t have to cost loads just your time.
4. Tech gadgets for him
You could upgrade his tech game with gadgets like a tablet, smartwatch, or noise-canceling headphones. Check out the latest thing.

Think about his hobbies – whether it’s fishing, golf, gardening, or woodworking, and choose a gift accordingly.
