Funny 50th Birthday Gag Gifts

50th birthday gag gifts allow guests to contribute to the excitement of the occasion. Get ready to laugh your head off as guests deliver the fun with hilarious gifts. But before you begin the humor, make sure your honoree can handle it. Not everyone grows old laughing, so this would not be a good choice for a person sensitive about age. The goal is to have everyone leave the party smiling, most of all the guest of honor. 

Whether you're looking to poke fun at their age or just make them laugh, there are plenty of options out there for the perfect 50th birthday gag gift. From novelty items to funny books, there's something for everyone to enjoy on their special day.

Carrying 50th birthday gag gifts
over-the-hill, without going too far,

In making your selection, consider if your gag gift will embarrass the Honoree or anyone present. Stay away from risque gifts unless you know the recipient and party guests very well. Put forth the effort in finding an appropriate gift that will be well-received by the Honoree. If in doubt, don't.
