Please help. I am out of ideas for gag gifts. I have depends, prunes, benefiber...any other sugestions please!!

We went to the 50th b-day party a few years ago. We fixed up a cane with a horn that you toot (bicycle horn), a rearview mirror, a little basket on the front. Gosh, I can't remember what else we put on there. It was a big hit!

Can you find a goofy picture of the b-day person when they were little? Blow it up really big! (Did that one, too!)

If I think of more, I'll post again.

I had these ideas saved:

OLD AGE PILLS
(Use jelly beans in a large prescription bottle)
Gas-- yellow
Constipation--green
Forgetfulness--black
Arthritis--purple
Baldness--white
Deafness--orange
Wrinkles--pink
Sex--red
The red pill may be cut into fourths if needed.





Over the hill instant face lift=a small roll of duct tape.


Over the hill make-up brush=a cheap paint brush for painting walls.


Buy a wreath and glue 50 suckers around it. Take black ribbon (about inch wide) and with glue print "50 Sucks!"--take gold sprinkles and sprinkle over glue--attach this to wreath. Or you could use a nicer banner that reads "50 is Fab", you could also use candies instead of suckers.







How about a blast from the past w/some candy from 50 years ago?

I had to go to a 60th and was instucted to bring a 'gag' gift. I purchased a very nice lighted magnifying glass. I liked it so much I bought one for us, too. It served the purpose of the theme, but was usefull and not insulting.

I've never been a fan of these sorts of things. I've told my husband I would leave the party (and possibly him) if he ever did anything like this to me. Birthdays are celebrations IMO, and these sorts of things just highlight the negatives of the years that have passed. Birthdays are milestones to celebrate all the wonderful things associated with being alive IMO. Also, IMO, 50 is a fantastic age to be and certainly not an age to make someone feel "old."

Something that I always like is a book all about the year the person was born. I've usually found them at places like Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans. You could probably find something on the internet that you print out. It always amazes me the prices of houses, cars, gas, milk, bread and the hourly wage!!

A cane, a large magnifying glass, Depends, Fake Viagra (candy in a marked bottle), suspenders, velcro shoes, an old lady purse (like the straw one Sophia Potrillo carries), a box of Post its, a remote control or phone with really big buttons, labels for the person's clothes that say "I am old this is where I live", an abacus, a picture of a dinosaur that says "your first pet", these are what I can think of.

When my DH turned 50, guests brought: a universal remote with large buttons, a T shirt that said, "I am this many" and it had 10 hand prints on it. a magnifing glass, a full page magnifier, and a bag of candies from days gone by. It was lots of fun.

I would take a death certificate with funny items related to the person on it
