50th Birthday Present Help.

Wyre

It's Hubby's cousin birthday, and we have no idea what to get him. As a family they all have a great sense of humour so Hubby suggested either:

An Old Man Hamper:

Flat cap
Werthers
Pipe
Slippers
Anything else we can think of (need some suggestions!)

A Keep Young Hamper:

Hoodie
Alcopop
Baseball cap
Anything else from suggestions!

So, any ideas for what to add or other ideas for what to get entirely, gratefully received!

hmmm - love the idea of the hampers - could you split them? one of each from you two?
look for bottles of real ale with titles like 'Old Grumpy'. one or two of those would go down a treat!
A 'Denture' container. and some Steradent.
one of those handknitted V neck, sleeveless jumpers (in stripes if poss).
a knitted scarf
fingerless gloves


for the Keeping young hamper
packs of Temporary Tatts
Some 'instant tan'
a 'man bag'
mens 'make up'
moisturiser etc for men (I think Nivea do this)

Wyre

Fantastic ideas, thanks so much!!

You could include a CD in each, one of old man type music and one of something trendy (or even trendier is an iTunes download voucher).

A decent bottle of whisky? Case of beer? Magazine subscription?

Experience voucher like flying lesson or Silverstone racing car?

I know this is supposed to be a 'joke' present - and I really don't want to put a dampener on it - but if I received that then I would think what a waste of money.

We have a friend with a similar birthday coming up and if we can't think of a suitable present then we'll give a donation to a charity that we know they support

Sorry, I really don't think that's a good idea and, as has been already said, a terrible waste of money.

Stereotypes aren't actually very amusing.

I think if he's got a sense of humour then he'll find it amusing....and probably start plotting what to get you guys when your birthdays come round!

My family has got a good sense of humour too and would laugh at something like that! But then again, I like the funnier cheesier cards more than the sincere soppy ones.

I've seen those inflatable walking sticks and zimmer frames too, just another idea!

Try googling 'getting shirty' brilliant site.....
