50th Birthday Gifts
Half a century deserves better than a card and a bottle. The best 50th birthday gifts look back over five decades or mark the day properly: a The Day You Were Born personalised poster or canvas, a photo book of fifty years of family pictures, engraved glassware, a personalised bottle of wine or champagne, or a hamper to share at the party. Below is our full range of 50th birthday gift ideas for her and for him — personalised chocolate boxes and mugs, wine and chocolate hampers, prosecco with Irish chocolates, fresh flower bouquets and balloons in a box.
Buying for a wife or husband, a mum or dad, a sister, brother or friend? Start with the ideas below or make it personal with a name, photo or message. Personalised pieces are made to order and dispatched from our workshop in Ireland; add a personalised card message at checkout.
Choosing a 50th birthday gift
For a 50th birthday gift for a woman, the pieces that get kept are the personal ones: a photo book the family has filled, a The Day You Were Born canvas, or an engraved keepsake with her name and the date. On the day itself, the Lavish Lilies & Roses or Sunshine & Sunflowers bouquet and a Lily O’Brien’s chocolate hamper never miss. For a 50th birthday present for him, an engraved whiskey glass or personalised Guinness pint glass, a bottle of Moët & Chandon in its gift box, or a Roisin Dubh or Tapas & Treats hamper for the evening. If the family is buying together, a Children of Lir hamper or a large canvas makes one gift feel like the main event.
What are good 50th birthday ideas from the family?
A group gift that tells the story works best at fifty: a personalised photo book of the first five decades, a The Day You Were Born poster or canvas with the headlines from the day they were born, or a hamper big enough for the party. Add a personalised card with everyone’s message at checkout.
Can I personalise a 50th birthday gift?
Yes — posters, canvases, photo books, mugs, chocolate boxes, glassware and wine or champagne labels can all carry a name, photo, date or message. Personalised pieces are made to order in our Irish workshop — browse all personalised gifts.
How will the gift be presented?
Gifts sent straight to the recipient always arrive well-presented — exactly how depends on the gift. A hamper typically arrives in its own gift box, while other items are usually wrapped in tissue with a gift bag and ribbon, though presentation varies by item. You can also include a personalised card with your own message, added at checkout.
When should I order for a 50th birthday?
Orders ship daily from Dublin, so ready-made gifts such as hampers, flowers and chocolates are a safe choice even close to the day. Personalised pieces are made to order, so allow a few extra working days for printing or engraving. Delivery is available across Ireland, the UK and Europe.
