Unusual 50th Birthday Gift

Return to 50th Birthday Party Ideas

Are you looking for that unusual 50th birthday gift??

Do you like getting looked at like you have two heads when someone opens your gift??

Do you need something no one would dream of getting for their birthday??

We have great ideas for some pretty unusual 50th birthday gift. The gifts they are sure to never guess before opening.

We've got a selection of gifts that will help you give that one of a kind gift - okay, it may be a two of a kind gift if more than one of you take this idea! But it will still be a unique gift, one not everyone will receive!

Now when you hear the word "unusual" you think these will be off the wall and way to strange for you, BUT no worries! These are unusual in that they are unique and different, not necessarily weird or creepy. These are just some ideas for unique and fun gifts.

We need to cross those lines and break some boundaries and here are some great ideas for an unusual 50th birthday gift:

Buy a star and have it named after them.
Buy a small tree and have it planted in a pot. Leave a note with it to have them plant it somewhere and watch it grow over the years. As they grow older the tree will too.
Create a CD with a hit song from every year of thier life from the year they were born and onwards.
Find a newspaper article from the day they were born, if possible from the city they were born in.
Make a scrapbook with pictures of all the milestones of thier life. Create it in a progression from baby to current. You can even create a what you think the future will hold at the end.
Post birthday wishes in a newspaper with a picture of them, either a baby picture or a teenage picture.
Make one of thier wishes come true. For example, if they wish to be a racecar driver, set up a training session at a race track.
Check out our Creative 50th Birthday Gift page for some great home-made gift ideas.
Create a slide show of pictures of them and from their life, have it play with music from the years the pictures were taken.

To make sure your gifts are unique and unusual it easy! Just don't think conventionally, use creativity and have fun. The best gift is a well thought out gift, not just run into a store and grab something. Put some thought into your gifts, think about the person you are buying it for. Look at thier interests, likes/dislikes, favourites, etc. From there decide on something they would just LOVE when they open it, or something they would want to cherish for the rest of thier life.

Unusual gifts do not need to be big and expensive - all you need is a thought behind the gift. That's why there's a saying "it's the thought that counts"!
