Reading
Mum not feeling too flash about her impending fiftieth? Remind her that it’s not the end of the world, with this book by Barbara Hannah Grufferman – expert on all things after 50! The book has key focuses on health, money, sex etc, and is probably one of the more serious gift options – but indeed a good option in a 50th freak out!
If you’re not all that worried, but are interested in hearing some of the sage wisdom that (supposedly) comes with age, check out Old is the New Young too – for a collection of quotes and anecdotes about age, in a “Keep Calm and Carry On” style.

Walker
The perfect gag gift for a 50th party – your own personal inflatable walker! No ol’ folks party is complete without one. Careful though, it won’t help you stand when the night is wearing thin and the bar-tab has been swallowed.

Mugs
Old people sleep a lot, right? Not these ones! Get Mum loaded up on coffee in her own 50th novelty mug. Sure, it’ll remind her and everyone around her what her age is, but when the caffeine hits she’ll hardly notice!

Toilet Target
Will the embarrassment that comes with age ever fade? Probably not, well, especially not, with this toilet target. Make your old man feel a little more pain in his age by suggesting his aim could do with a little work.
Countdown Clock
We tend to focus on the negatives with milestone birthdays – but let’s face, 50 is that much closer to 60, and before you know it – BOOM, retirement! Be reminded of what little time you have left as a corporate servant with this countdown to retirement clock. Remember, turning 50 might sting, but you’ll be the one laughing when you’re lounging on a beach with a mojito.
