Knighton Matt Posted 26 June 2006 Posted 26 June 2006 I got confused and thought this was Wyclef Jean appreciation thread? Maybe a copy of The Score by The Fugees would slip down a treat?

davieG Posted 26 June 2006 Posted 26 June 2006 I'm not sure if he will remember back when he was 50 but DavieG might be useful? Cheeky Sod, It's a cliche I know but it's the thought that counts, I'm sure it's difficult because he doesn't really want for much he's got you and your Mum plus maybe other son(s) / other daughter(s). I'm not much help I'm afraid I personally didn't see being 50 as anymore of a landmark than being 49 except just another year older. If he has a special interest in something, you can explore an unusual/personal aspect of that. A family photo. A family meal A year's supply of Kronenberg Some sexy underwear for your Mum Be his slave for the day, you're probably that already Boring but hey he is 50.
davieG Posted 26 June 2006 Posted 26 June 2006 How about a card that say's 50 on it? You can sign it with, To my Dad you don't look a day older than 50

davieG Posted 26 June 2006 Posted 26 June 2006 No offence meant None taken or you'd be in detention by now.
Bert Posted 26 June 2006 Posted 26 June 2006 Maybe something to commemorate that he is 50, like a cricket bat thats say "50 your half century" summat ghey like that.
macbeth Posted 27 June 2006 Posted 27 June 2006 what do i get my dad for his 50th birthday so bloody hard any men on here who are 50 or over what sort of thing would u wanna get??? help is majorly needed, cheers he is very lucky if he's got sons/ daughters as considerate as you seem to be; the thought that you are even starting to think about his birthday now would probably be enough for him most 50 year old men would be happy with a small suprise family party ; and just make a fuss of him for the day:thumbup: good luck
Katy Posted 27 June 2006 Posted 27 June 2006 he is very lucky if he's got sons/ daughters as considerate as you seem to be; the thought that you are even starting to think about his birthday now would probably be enough for him most 50 year old men would be happy with a small suprise family party ; and just make a fuss of him for the day:thumbup: good luck I agree with that entirely Maybe try and find out if there's something he really wants as well, people tend to drop hints about things without realising it so keep your ears peeled

Strokes Posted 27 June 2006 Posted 27 June 2006 Not funny No your right, i'm sorry. Just boredom creeping in.
Durnerz Posted 27 June 2006 Posted 27 June 2006 Take him our for a meal or something with all the family around him or a fun event etc would mean more than just buying him any old shite.
Thracian Posted 27 June 2006 Posted 27 June 2006 Depends on his interests: 1) If you've got undisplayed extended family photos knocking about cut some of them up to show just individual faces/expressions and include everyone of importance including family pets if you have them and stick them onto card to make a collective picture and have it framed with a personal note on the back. 2) National Trust membership. There are so many places he, your mum and the family could go - including later for summer picnics - it would be a present to remember year round. 3) Bargain weekend break for two at a nice hotel with multiple activities on site. 4) Cheese and wine hamper. Outstanding range of cheeses at Melton market on a Tuesday or at Morrisons and ask on the wines but Chilean Merlot, Italian Pinot Grigio, a French Sauternes and Muscadet de Valencia make a sound start for a dozen bottles nestling in a basket of straw - one for each month of the year - and surrounded by the cheeses and well chosen bunches of grapes. 5) A personalised poem. Nicely framed and mounted. People can help you. My personal favourite was a tape of my son playing piano songs from a Richard Clayderman songbook and other favourites including Nutrocker, My Heart Will Go On and items from Phantom of the Opera. Nothing could have made me happier so if you are creative enough to knock up something personally, that would give him a lasting memory.
Head Honcho Posted 27 June 2006 Posted 27 June 2006 A head stone, hammer & a chisel I'm not normally speechless but
Daggers Posted 27 June 2006 Posted 27 June 2006 Hey, I am eight years away...but.... some of the suggestions offered so far would make me want to kill my entire family - especially the crap gravestone one [head slap]. Holly, Everything Dads love most revolve around a true unadultered declaration of love. The thing that melts me is when my kids say something nice, when they remember something I said and play it back to me, when they make me feel that [no matter the crap that goes on in life] they love me for who I am and what I stand for. If you can twine that into something he was into as a younger man you will guarantee tears... So, it looks like you are going to have to pay MUD to sing a song you wrote...
