Comical 50th Birthday Gift Ideas

Celebrate 50 with a comical gift

Turning 50 is a huge milestone in a person's life. Giving a comical gift to someone celebrating this momentous birthday is a lighthearted way to let them know you care. Giving funny gifts is entertaining for the giver and the receiver. Be sure to keep the recipient in mind when selecting a gift to ensure it goes over well.

Old Age Kit

Gift eyeglasses to poke fun at aging

Poke fun at aging with an old age kit for the birthday celebrant. Use a bedpan as a basket and fill it with various items used by old timers. Denture polish, Ben-Gay, eyeglasses, adult diapers, hemorrhoid cream, a magnifying glass, a megaphone (for hearing) and a container of prune juice would be perfect gags to add. Wrap the bed pan in a big bow, and label it "Old Age Kit" before gifting to get a laugh out of the birthday honoree and anyone in audience.

Magazine Cover Star

Personalize a magazine for a fun creative gift

A comical gift for a 50th birthday would be a fake magazine cover starring the birthday boy as the cover model. Use a photo of the honoree scanned into the computer as the cover page of a magazine. Use a photo editing program to add text and graphics. Emblazon the name of your magazine across the top of the photo. Funny title ideas include "AAOP: American Association of Old People" or "Old Geezer Monthly." Include article teasers like: "Big News: (gift recipient) Turns 50!" and other "news items" like "Top 10 Ways To Celebrate (gift recipient's) Birthday." Use an actual magazine as your guide when doing the graphics to add authenticity like a bar code and price. Print the magazine cover and frame for a unique and creative gift.

Lollipop Bouquet

Lollipops make a great gift for someone with a sweet tooth

A lollipop bouquet with a funny message will make a comical gift for someone with a sweet tooth. Purchase a decorative flower pot and place a piece of florist's foam in the bottom. Gather 50 lollipops and insert the stems into the foam to make an arrangement. Make a sticker label for the pot, or paint it with the saying "50 Sucks!" This will certainly get a chuckle being so unique and clever.
