birthday gifts for men turning 50
Birthday gift ideas for 50-up men?


My father is turning 52, and I need some birthday gift ideas! I would not like to spend too much (he’s not one to require or want a lot of money or really nice things). He likes gifts that are useful and maybe a little funny. Oh, he likes the Dilbert Comics, but I don’t know if he’d really want a bunch of dilbert stuff. He also likes Lowe’s. Anything from gardening to cooking/grilling. Please Help!

I gave my parents a Netflix subscription and they love it. So maybe that? They start at about $6/mo and you could say it’s for however many months you can afford.

Lottery tickets are also fun… or a magazine or newspaper subscription or of course gift cards to places like Lowe’s. Maybe some really good coffee beans with a Starbucks gift card.
