Photo Scrapbook

Scrapbooks are a great way to display memories of your 50-year-old's life. To make a scrapbook, first find an album at your local discount retailer or craft store, you might even be able to find a scrapbook themed specifically for the 50th birthday. Next, ask friends, family and other loved ones to give you photos and other mementos that can be included in the scrapbook.
Once you have everything, it's time to decide on a theme. The actual theme is up to you, but should focus on the fun memories the 50-year-old has created during his life. Finally, once everything is in the scrapbook, ask those who contributed to write a small note in the scrapbook about what this person means to them. The result is a fun, yet poignant, scrapbook that he or she will surely cherish.
"Over the Hill" Gift Basket
-
This gift idea is good for those 50-year-olds who have a good sense of humor about their age. The actual contents of this gift basket is up to you, but each gift inside should have a comical phrase or reference to being "over the hill" at age 50.
Many gift stores and online gift retailers have several different "over the hill" items to chose from for your gift basket, including t-shirts, pens, notepads, coffee mugs and even wine bottles.

Hobby Lessons
-
Most 50-year-olds have hobbies that they'd love to pursue if they had more time. This is why a gift certificate good for lessons of their choice is a fantastic gift idea for a 50th birthday. If you're unsure what to get, just consider your 50-year-old's interests. For example, a golf enthusiast would enjoy lessons from a PGA golf professional, a baking fanatic might like desert-making classes and a dance lover might enjoy learning the latest dance steps at professional dance lessons.
