A diamond necklace and earrings worth $500,000 was a fitting present for the Material Girl as Madonna celebrated her 50th birthday yesterday.
Madonna's film director husband, Guy Ritchie, reportedly splashed out on the specially-designed gifts from Bulgari as well as naming a rose after his wife and putting in a vegetable patch for her.
After a rough few months in which the couple fended off rumours that their eight-year marriage is on the rocks, Ritchie appears to have gone all out for her big day.
Some of her other gifts were less appealing. No doubt unsure about what to buy a woman who has everything, friend Justin Timberlake is said to have resorted to golf gift vouchers.
One unwanted present came from her brother, Christopher Ciccone, who sent flowers in a bid to make up for his tell-all book Life With My Sister Madonna, The Mirror reported.
Various media outlets sent birthday cakes to her home in Central London.
One present sure to win her over, however, was a dress designed by daughter Lourdes, 11.
Madonna's big day was otherwise kept low-key, with a spokeswoman confirming only that the star was in Britain.
A huge party planned at her Wiltshire Estate was expected to be cancelled after she suffered an ankle injury. Instead she was due to have an intimate gathering of family and friends.
