50th Birthday

You know you’re 50 when you’re in an elevator and your favourite song comes on.

• 50 is the atomic number for tin. This could involve some small, silly gifts like a tin can (soup), watching “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” or wrapping your gifts in tin foil.
• The Roman numeral for 50 is L. We would use caution with this one as it could be interpreted the wrong way but it could really work if your giftee is size: large (and not unhappy about that). ‘Living large’ is a way of describing an extravagant lifestyle so think about including luxurious gifts like a day at the spa.
• Watch an episode of Hawaii 5-0
• There are 50 states making up the USA, think about going to visit one.
• 50:50 means you have a 50% chance of winning something. Come up with 2 great dates for your giftee and they can flip a coin for which one they get.
• Traditional 50th-anniversary gifts include gold, violets and yellow roses. These could be incorporated into your theme.
• Pick your giftee up a book, movie or artwork from the 1950’s.
