Celebrating the big 5-0 — the "golden jubilee" — is a huge milestone in anyone's life. That means, you have to go all out with a giant hurrah for their 50th birthday. Once you've planned their blowout party or made reservations at their favorite restaurant, browse our guide for the best 50th birthday gift ideas for the man or woman in your life.

As you shop recommendations from our gift experts, consider their interests to find a present they'll truly love. Turning 50 is all about nostalgia, so consider presents that honor the year they were born or just take them right back to their childhood. Or, you can focus on their hobbies (are they a foodie, for instance?) or find a pick that's made to last (a metal wallet card engraved with a sweet message is just one idea on our list).

We've got great birthday gift ideas for men and thoughtful presents for women, as well as top-rated items they'll adore (even if they're not up to speed on TikTok). If you're shopping on a budget, don't stress. Everything here is affordable and won't empty your wallet. Feel free to choose two or three gifts to really impress them, and don't forget to pick up a card to write a meaningful birthday wish while you're at it!
