Our selections of the best gifts for the Parent’s 50th anniversary.
Surprising 50-year-old parents with a good gift may seem difficult for some people. We have therefore prepared a selection of ten articles that will be very useful to facilitate your research. You will find original ideas, practical and able to satisfy different personalities and budgets.
Set of 3 experience 2.0 hard trolley suitcases
A set of suitcases aesthetically very satisfying and on sale at an affordable cost. But, beyond the aspect, we must recognize that the qualities are not few, like the sliding wheels (there are two that rotate 360°) that follow the movements without locking, or the stability. Each suitcase has multiple handles, one on the long side, one on the short and a third extendable, and all ensure a comfortable grip. The security system is three-digit, so there is no TSA lock (small flaw). The ABS body gives the impression of being very resistant. Inside there is a containing elastic and a sector closed with a zipper, for an optimal organization of the spaces.
What we liked
One of the cheapest sets on the market but able to offer satisfying characteristics. In addition, there is the possibility of being able to choose between different colors. The larger suitcase has a capacity of 85 liters and the smaller one of 35 liters, so the bags are suitable for a weekend away from home as well as for a longer holiday.
Pauline & Morgen “Party Queen” Women’s Bracelet
Pauline & Morgen is a French brand born in 2008, which produces collections of high quality costume jewelery (and not only). In fact, this bracelet has a very nice design, composed of multicolored crystals applied to pavé, which allow little glimpse of the metal in which they are set and which create a pleasant street effect paved with sparkling gems, a sort of colored Milky Way. The stones used are polished and cut into different shapes, so as to create a pleasant and well balanced rhythm. Reading the opinions we discover that the diameter may not be adequate for the thinnest wrists, a detail not to be overlooked since it is not possible to adjust the opening.
What we liked
Suitable for the anniversary, as well as for a Christmas present, it is one of those items that could satisfy those looking for something impressive. It can be easily combined with clothing, due to the many colors present, but it gives a touch of light and liveliness even to the simplest outfits.
PETACC Frame of memories for animals for dogs and cats
A photographic frame different from the usual, because it is dedicated to pets. Divided into three spaces, it gives the opportunity to frame the best photo of the puppy of the house and two other “mats” with the paw prints. Cute, right? In the package you will find a sort of clay that will go itself with your hands (or who has a small roller can use it safely) and then print the shape of the paw. It is made of a thin but resistant cardboard and the external cover is not in glass but in plexiglass, a particularly resistant material in case of falls. If you wish, you could give the frame by inserting a photo, perhaps taken from Facebook.
What we liked
Sometimes finding original gift ideas can be complicated and this frame can solve any doubts. Nice idea to be able to review the silhouettes of the legs after years. An ideal thought for birthday and, given his sympathy, it will also make children happy, if received for communion.

Hotpoint Ariston SJ 4010 FSL0 slow juicer
The Hotpoint Ariston SJ 4010 cold centrifuge has a 400 Watt motor that allows the appliance to process even softer foods, such as fibrous vegetables or dried fruit, but it is good to underline that the manufacturer does not recommend this type of use, because the machinery could get stressed. Here is explained one of the main reasons for the price so affordable. In the package you will find two 500 ml glasses, one used to collect the juice and the other to contain the processing waste. The juice is extracted without the use of blades, to better retain all the properties of the ingredients used. Cleaning is not complicated, a great advantage when it comes to appliances of this type.
What we liked
Centrifugated drinking is very good for health and whoever has a small vegetable garden will also be able to enjoy their own harvest, with the good fortune of being able to directly control the production chain. The pressing is slow, only 55 turns per minute, so it does not overheat the fruit and leaves the properties unchanged.
Long Scarf for Woman
An oversize, comfortable, practical and versatile scarf. The fabric is warm and soft, ideal for protecting even the face during the cold autumn days. In fact, it can be used in different ways, for example as a large scarf to protect the neck, as a shawl or as a large cardigan, thanks to the presence of two holes for the arms. The latter use proves interesting during spring evenings, when the temperature starts to drop at sunset, or in winter, on those days when the coat seems not enough. Available in four different color combinations, the geometric motif has a current and, at the same time, slightly retro touch.
What we liked
We like the possibility of being able to choose between different colors, from shades of pink and purple to more neutral ones. Surely versatility is its strong point, thanks to its considerable size (180 x 86 cm). A stylish gift, perfect for practically any occasion.

LG 24MT47D-PZ LED TV MONITOR 24 ”HD
An LG TV, with a 24-inch screen size and HD resolution (1,366 x 768 pixels). The footprint is therefore not excessive and another favorable aspect is that you should not position yourself too far from the TV, which is possible only when space actually allows it. The format is 16: 9, the images are quite realistic, with natural colors and not excessively saturated. The screen can be tilted vertically and is anti-glare. It has inputs for the digital and analog TV antenna, the SCART socket, RGB input, USB, HDMI, audio and video and the PCMCIA card slot. It is not because there is the input for headphones, a feature that has left us a bit perplexed.
What we liked
It may have been time to replace that old malfunctioning and cumbersome TV and we have chosen this 24 ”LG model for the naturalness of the colors and the not excessively important dimensions. Furthermore, behind it is the quality of a brand that is now a leader in this sector.
Belgian Guylian Chocolate Classics Assortment Gift Box
A selection of Belgian chocolates filled with delicious Guylian creams. With a wise use of black and white chocolate, the delights take on a pleasant marbled appearance. The filling is smooth, silky and irresistible, thanks to the work of the master chocolatiers, who use exclusive copper pans. There are different types of chocolates, with different shapes. Trufflina is a combination of the finest Belgian chocolate truffle with a smooth white chocolate truffle filling, all covered in very thinly cut chocolate chips or a layer of thin milk or white chocolate. In short, each tasting is a sensory experience.
What we liked
The box of chocolates may sound like a trivial idea and even a little retro, but when it comes to Belgian chocolate then things change totally. A gift that in 2020 is almost romantic, suitable for connoisseurs or for those who simply want to savor these delicious morsels without doing too much rhetoric.
Elizabeth Jane Howard – The Years of Lightness: The Saga of the Cazalet 1
“The years of lightness” is the first of the five volumes of La Saga dei Cazalet, which covers a period of about 10 years, from 1937 to 1947.
This book enters the life of the Cazalet family, made up of the progenitors who are affectionately called the Duchess and the General, their children with their wives and grandchildren. A contrast between the habits of Victorian life and the world around that continues to move forward, with the war now upon us. The family is located in the countryside, where summer holidays are spent; the characters interact with each other, externalize their thoughts, confront each other. The care given to the youngest members of the family is also interesting. Furthermore, it is also a way to tell the evolution of the role of women in that decade, within the family and society.
What we liked
As you know, books are personalized gifts and can be chosen with care. We have selected this volume because it is a not too demanding reading, but not for this frivolous one, which tells not only of the English bourgeoisie of that period but also of the opposition with the working class and the historical and political scenario of the time.

CAMTOA 350ML Thermos Mug
A thermal mug that can be used 365 days a year. It manages to keep the heat of the drinks for 12 hours and the cold for 6 hours, thanks to the double wall Vacuum Insulation Technology, which creates a very efficient insulating barrier. It can be safely carried in the bag, because the hermetic closure, which is activated by a button, prevents the drink from dripping. The design is very nice, we dare say almost elegant, if compared to other items in this category. Just press a button and the cap opens automatically.
It is made of aluminum, a robust and resistant material.
What we liked
A useful gift but one that can be appreciated for its aesthetic appearance and functionality. It can be used to carry hot coffee brewed in case, as well as to have fresh water on hand. We are convinced of the hermetic closure, which will not spoil the contents of the bag with sudden spills of liquids.
