CNN underscored Gifts | The 36 best 50th birthday gifts that are truly milestone-worthy

Technically, every birthday is special. That said, anyone who has made it to 50 deserves a gift that’s extra noteworthy. It is half a century, after all! But that doesn’t mean the thing you buy them needs to highlight all of the years they’ve lived. Personally, I associate one’s fifties with luxury. In other words, it’s a good time to upgrade the things one already loves and also a time to indulge in new experiences.

Additionally, the fifties are generally when people begin to prioritize their health more than ever. They might also have more free time (even if they’re not retired yet) to expand their current interests, look into new hobbies and go on more trips.

No matter who you’re shopping for — whether it’s a sibling, parent or friend — the gifts on this list will make them feel appreciated and ready to take on another 50 years. Many of the picks are editor favorites too, so you can count on the recipient’s long-term satisfaction.  –read more–
