Funny 50th birthday gifts
A fiftieth birthday gift gets passed around a table, so it should be readable. One photo and a few true things about them turn into a printed picture book for adults that the room can work through a page at a time.
Fifty years of being a person, illustrated by something that has never met one.

Questions
What’s a good funny 50th birthday gift?
One that can be passed around a table. The books are made from one photo and a few true things about them. They’re the main character.
Is fifty too old for a gag gift?
These are made for adults, and fifty is comfortably one.
Can I include something from everyone?
The sign-off under the dedication is printed exactly as you type it, with room for 80 characters. Names fit. Speeches don’t.
How does it work, and what do you need from me?
You pick the book, send one clear photo of them and a few true things about them. We write and illustrate the book from that. You must confirm they’re an adult (18 or older), they’re willing to star in a gag book, and you have permission to share their photo.
Will it arrive in time?
We print and bind the book after you order it, so it isn’t instant — and we won’t promise a date here that we can’t keep for your address. Order with room to spare. If the day is close, write to hello@hellosorry.com first and we’ll tell you honestly whether it can make it.
