Milestone birthdays are special, symbolic days that mark a number of decades lived. One such milestone birthday is the 50th.

Does this Spark an idea?

Sports Car
-
Buying your husband a sports car for his 50th birthday will make him feel special and appreciated. Sports cars are commonly associated with youth, vitality and adventure. When he drives the car, he is sure to have these feelings, and will be less likely to see 50 years old as the beginning of the "getting old" stage of his life. You can get hints on what kind of sports car he likes by asking specific questions beforehand, such as "Do you like that car's color?" or "If you had that car, what color would you get in?" If you ask these questions, do so in a way that he won't know what's coming.
Wedding Band Upgrade
-
A 50th birthday is a fabulous time to upgrade your husband's wedding ring. Sometimes, people get married at an early age, when they are less able to afford the best and latest wedding rings. Instead of a traditional, plain wedding band, buy your husband a custom band to wear. These bands can be made at your local jeweler.

Gift Certificate to Restaurant
-
This is an idea for a man who isn't your significant other. It is an affordable gift option and doesn't require you to spend significant amount of money. Instead of asking the recipient what his favorite restaurant is, ask his spouse or close family, so the gift will be a surprise.
Motorcycle Riding Gear
-
Motorcycle riding is a common hobby for men in this age group. Many men belong to riding clubs, where enthusiasts get together to ride motorcycles. Get the birthday boy new bike riding gear, including a leather jacket, helmet and sunglasses. If he's partial to a certain brand of motorcycle, get matching gear from that brand.
