Christian Gifts for a Milestone Birthday (50, 70, 90)
A milestone birthday is a day the family will look back on. The gift should hold up when they do. Here is a short list.
Our three picks
- A Message From Jesus - a short film in Jesus's voice that says the person's name and blesses this year of their life. Played at the dinner; kept for the next decade.
- A Song for Their Name - an original song built around their name. Played at the reception, watched at breakfast every year after.
- A Photo Film for Them - we draw the person from a recent photo in the evening light of our series. For a grandparent whose portrait will hang in the family home.
When to send it
- Two weeks before the birthday, so it lands in time.
- The morning of the dinner, on the family group chat.
- On the anniversary, every year after.
A short reading for the party
The love letter from Jesus is a plain, one-page reading someone at the table can read aloud during the meal. Print it, write the birthday person's name at the top, put it in the card.
