Amazon.com gift card

Hubby’s 50th birthday is coming soon, on the 11th of September or 911. Starting today, I am going to list as many birthday gift ideas as possible to let hubby pick the most unique 50th birthday gift for him.

If for whatever reason that he can’t make up his mind by the 11th of September, I will just gift him an Amazon.com Gift Card. He can buy whatever and whenever he wants when he is ready.

What about a Fountain Pen? The thought of gifting hubby a fountain pen just flashed across my mind while accompanying him having breakfast this morning.

It makes a great birthday gift for him as he is now a full time high school teacher. What a practical gift for everyday use!

If you think gifting your loved on a fountain pen as this year’s birthday gift is a fantastic idea, here are a few tips for making choosing the best pen easy and enjoyable.

Tip #1 – Focus on Your Man’s Preferences, not Your Own. Put yourself in his shoes and you’re off to a good start.

Tip #2 – Type of Pens. There are three choices: Fountain Pen, Ball Point Pen and Rollerball Pen.

Which type of pen that your husband uses as an everyday writing instrument? How about for special occasions like signing documents or writing personal correspondence? What is his or her profession? Answering these questions will help you determine the type of pen you are going to gift him.

Tip #3 – Evaluate His Handwriting Sample. This is especially helpful if you’re going to pick out a fountain pen. A fine nib is your best bet for smaller writing or writing that has slimmer lines. On the other hand, a medium to broad sized nib works well for writing that’s larger and darker.

Tip #4 – Decide on the Price Range. By deciding on the price range of the pen, you narrow the field and not get too distracted.

Of course for more choices, you’ll have to raise your price range a bit. Sometimes a slightly more expensive pen will make a big difference in quality, performance and appearance.

Tip #5 – What’s His Style? Is he traditional, a trendsetter or somewhere in between? You can easily get your clues from his personal or business attire, accessories such as watches, jewelry and eyewear, even what car he drives to make picking a pen brand, finish and color easier.

Update: My eyes rolled wide and my jaw dropped when I saw this Curtis Australia Wildlife Warriors Endangered Species LTD Gem Set (6pcs) Fountain Pen.

Guess how much it costs? $79,000!

Yes, it’s $79,000. Wow, … $79,000.

At first, I didn’t believe it’s $79,000; I thought it’s $79.00 or $790.00. So, I went to google to find its price at other stores. Well, you’ve got to believe it.

Executive Ball Pen, Roller Ball Pen, & Pencil Set As Unique Birthday GiftUpdate: Executive Ball Pen, Roller Ball Pen, & Pencil Set – $59.95.

My blogging buddy, Doris, told me to also consider this executive writing instrument collection as hubby’s personalized birthday gift.

This collection is exquisitely presented in a sophisticated cherry luster finished case measuring 6 7/8″ x 5 5/8″ x 1 1/2″ dimensionally.

Looking for a unique birthday gift which is very useful for his day to day life? You have come to the right place when it comes to finding unique birthday gifts for him above 40, 50, 60 or 70. :-)

Take note that the 50 year olds of today are very different from those of your father and grandfather’s generations! The 50 year olds now are healthy, with-it, and full of joie de vivre.

So, keep this in mind while selecting birthday gifts for men who are above 50, 60 or even 70.

1. Clothes. Before you pick any clothing for him as birthday gift, make sure you know his taste and liking regarding clothing. Picking the wrong style or color of clothes for him will only result in him not wearing your choice at all.

If you are like me, a woman who simply can’t pick the right shirt or suit for your man, you can do what I do – Gift him an Amazon.com Gift Card!

This is the safest way to ensure that he buys the right cutting of Levi’s men jeans or right color of Van Heusen men’s long sleeve shirt he wants.

2. Watches. If your man is a watch lover, you will never go wrong with getting him another new watch. Watches are so often used by men that they never seem to have enough when it comes to watches.

3. Gadgets. Compact and portable gifts like cellphones, MP3 players, iPods, DVD players are top birthday gifts in any age group.

An iPod loaded with your man’s favorite Beatles’ numbers, or Elvis Presley’s songs, and other musical greats of the 60s’ or 70s’ era would surely make a great birthday gift.

4. Exercise and Fitness Tools. Men above 40, 50, 60 or 70 nowadays are more health-conscious. Go to any gym in your area, and you will find them doing workouts on treadmills, ellipticals and weight lifting equipment as hard as the young people.

There are tonnes of workout and fitness tools such as exercise chairs, pedal exercisers, exercise balls, resistance bands, aquatic exercise equipment, and even portable home gyms that make unique birthday gifts for men.

Birthday gifts for him above 50 need not always be exorbitant or grand in appearance, you just need to convey the message of love and sincerity that is on your mind and in your heart!
