Birthday gift ideas

[Deleted]

So, tonight hubz and I are going to a 50th birthday party of a husband of a good friend of mine. It is at a baseball stadium (cool) , so I am excited. I am struggling to think of what to get this person that I don't know very well personally? Here is what I know- he used to own a bar, enjoys good food, and likes sweet tea vodka ( another friend is already getting him a basket with sweet tea vodka). Ugh/ I guess gift card somewhere? I am bad at these things. Halp.

I'd do a gc to Modell's our some place like that, and a bottle of some other booze he likes.

A nice bourbon, maybe a single barrel edition. I know nothing about vodka.

Does he smoke cigars?

All great ideas. I may ask my friend if he likes cigars . I have a hard time shopping for my husband let alone a man I don't know very well !

Gift certificate to good restaurant is my go-to. Not a chain type restaurant.

Is he a fan of the home team? Maybe get him a shirt or something with the team's logo (beer glasses, shot glasses, koozie, etc).

Thanks all. Got gift cards to a
A cool local bar in the area. It was a success!

Is it a formal affair? I'd say nice whiskey. I threw my father a 60th birthday party and literally every single person bought booze. He was delighted.

If it's just a casual thing and you don't know him well, you may be able to buy him a couple rounds at the party. I wouldn't want to show up to a casual thing with a expensive gift if nobody else got him much.
