50th birthday gift ideas

We are going to my aunts surprise 50th birthday party this weekend and I am unsure of what to get her. I would prefer not to give her a gift card. I was thinking of maybe getting an album from Things Remembered and having it personalized with "Debbie's 50th Birthday" and the date to put her pictures in... Anyone have any other creative ideas?

We have my BIL's on Saturday and I can't think of anything either.

I don't want to get him a gift card because he'd probably end up giving it to one of his kids

Re: 50th birthday gift ideas

the album sounds nice.
Whenever I get invited to a suprise party for an older female I make a basket filled with thank you cards(personalzed return address envelopes or stickers if I have time & once I got a personalized Monogram card set) a nice pen & stamps. And sometimes something else like a gift card all in a pretty basket.
Everytime I've given this the recipient was thrilled.

That was another idea I had thought of- putting together some kind of gift basket. I don't know what to put into it though! Trying to think of some things she likes... maybe I'll ask my cousin for some ideas!

Thanks- if anyone has any other suggestions please share!!

Re: 50th birthday gift ideas UPDATE: What do you think?

My aunt is a huge coffee drinker. I was thinking of putting together some kind of coffee gift basket. Other than coffee and mugs what would you suggest?
