1. A Wine or Whiskey set

A high-quality bottle of wine, whiskey, or a curated set featuring glasses and accessories makes for a wonderful gift. You can decide on your budget here, as some whiskeys can be quite expensive, while more affordable supermarket brands can be elegantly presented in a box along with some glasses and perhaps some biscuits. Consider selecting a wine he enjoys and replacing the labels with more personalised ones to commemorate his 50th birthday. Explore these ideas for some inspiration!
