- What You Don't Know About Turning 50
This is an absolutely delightful book! It is full of wonderful and ironic humor which is both hysterically funny and insightful. The honesty and wisdom of Mr. Witte's observations (posed as a "birthday quiz") are oddly comforting to those of us who are near to either side of "F-Day"(Fifty!). I hope Mr. Witte continues to write in this vein. I highly recommend this book.

Don’t wait until next year or the year after to start making plans – life is too short to sit and let the action pass you by. Find your true self by trying something new. This book of quirky ideas, fun-filled tips, and thought-provoking quotations will fill you with aspirations, encourage you to dream and live large.
Put together a 'This is your Life - Celebrating 50 years' book. Start this well in advance. Buy a lovely blank book or photo album. Ask friends and family for old photos and memories. Fill the book up with memories and photo's from the past.
Put together a gift basket filled with goodies you'll know they will enjoy. This can be based on their hobby or passion. What not to buy... Just because you will like the gift, don't assume they will to. Think about their hobbies and interests. What would they really cherish?
