Gift Ideas for Men 50 & Over
The mature man is not to be confused with a man who isn't active. Being over 50 still means there's a desire to live a fulfilling life. If you are looking for the perfect gift for the 50 and over man, there are many options centering around fine wine, dining, travel and adventure. You can also gear your gift giving toward things that allow him to relax.

Fine Dining
-
If you are treating someone who enjoys fine wine and dining, there is an endless list of possibilities to choose from. For the 50-something man who enjoys relaxing at the end of the day with a glass of wine, you might consider signing him up for a wine of the month club (see References). A different selection of wine will be delivered to his door each month. This is a great option for a birthday or perhaps a retirement gift. Keeping with that theme, there are many different cuisines that offer the same kind of delivery. For the man who wants to stay healthy, there are fruit of the month clubs and even clubs that deliver filet mignon right to your door.
Travel
-
If you are looking for a gift for someone who loves to travel, you can send him on a vacation of a lifetime or provide him with some perks to add to his already planned travels. Many airlines are constantly offering last-minute deals for weekend getaways. Consider some local bed and breakfasts, spas or resorts to send him to. Additionally, there are some good books with travel ideas, like "Andrew Zimmerman: The Bizarre Truth."

Fitness
-
For the active 50-year-old man, taking up golf or learning how to do tai chi are great activities. If you are buying a gift for an avid sports fan or a man who likes to stay moderately active for his health, try purchasing him a new golf club set or sign him up for a one-on-one session with a personal trainer.
