Isn’t this the traditional “over the hill” birth anniversary? If you Google that phrase, you’ll find a lot of funny ideas that may give you inspiration. I would suggest a jovial cake, maybe with a tombstone if the guy has a sense of humour – it’s not too mean or cruel, and then everyone gets to eat some cake!

Check out a party store. They usually have a lot of joke stuff for people reaching 50.

A very inexpensive office idea is to have everyone bring in 50 things of their choice. 50 pennies, 50 Tylenol, 50 Geritol, 50…anything!

I lurve Bri_L’s idea.

I would not appreciate “over the hill” joke gifts if I were the birthday boy. I laugh at myself daily, but I feel they are just lazy stereotypes.

I love this piece by Dave Barry and have given it framed to someone turning 50.
