Gift Ideas for Women Over 50: Exceptional Gifts for Older Women
Shopping for a woman over 50 this holiday season? Here's what she'll love!
Fashion Simplified: Stitch Fix Women’s Clothing Styling Box
We’ve ditched the mall in this household! I’ve used Stitch Fix in the past, but they’ve recently added curated clothing boxes for kids! I love the selection that came in the mail for our daughter (there were so many mix and match pieces that will get her through the fall and winter). Up next – a curated box for my husband!
Sourdough Prodigy: Goldie by Sourhouse + Cooling Puck
If the woman over 50 in your life took up making sourdough bread, this is the gift for her. Goldie by Sourhouse™ provides just enough warmth to keep a sourdough starter consistently in the “Goldilocks Zone” of 75-82ºF (~24-28ºC) where it is the most active and healthy. This means she can bake her best bread all year round! This bread-making tool is easy to clean, food safe, water resistant, and doesn’t require much energy to use. As long as her sourdough starter jar fits inside, she’s good to go!
Stylish Sunnies: Patricia Nash x Diff Eyewear Sunglasses
Diff is a brand you can feel good buying and gifting to someone you love. They use premium materials and maintain exceptionally high standards for quality and social responsibility while making some of the most fashionable lenses on the market. Plus, the brand collaborates with iconic brands, celebrities, designers like the beloved Patricia Nash, and even some of your favorite movies and TV shows including Emily in Paris and House of the Dragon.
We love the Brandi Tortoise G15 Sunglasses from Patricia’s collection (pictured), but there are dozens of frame styles, colors, and patterns to choose from. You’ll absolutely find something for every woman on your holiday shopping list this year shopping at Diff.
Superior Lumbar Support: Midcelli Mesh Back Chair
Proper posture is a must, especially as we get older. This ergonomic chair takes the guesswork out of sitting properly and is easy to get up from, too! It supports the body in all the right places and is ideal for anyone who has to sit at a computer or desk all day.
Pack Smarter: Bagsmart Compression Packing Cubes Pro
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the woman who likes to travel, this six-piece set is the answer. As a chronic over-packer, this is a must-have for travel, whether it’s a long weekend or a week-long trip. Before discovering this incredibly effective packing system from Bagsmart, I used to use the ‘ole over-the-door shoe organizer trick. Now I can pack even more than I know I’ll need and take up less space!
It comes with three main bags, a hanging multi-compartment organizer, a shoe bag, and a laundry bag. What more could she need? She’ll love how easy it is to unpack once she gets to her destination and the convenient access to her clothing even more. This set will even fit into carry-on suitcases!
Fruit & Veggie Haven: Ambrosia Produce Bag Complete Set
If you know someone who loves a good farmer’s market haul or grows their own produce, this is the gift for them! This handmade set of produce bags naturally extends the maximum shelf-life of veggies, mushrooms, berries, and leafy greens. With the help of raw flax linen, which helps inhibit bacteria and mold, the hollow fibers of these produce bags have a high absorption rate while remaining air-permeable.
“I’ve saved so much money and wasted so much less produce with these linen refrigerator bags!” says Commerce Writer Savannah Born. “They create an ideal environment for fruits and veggies, extending their shelf lives by up to two weeks. This set is a brilliant gift for eco-conscious people, home chefs and those on a budget!”
Each kit comes with one vegetable bag, one berry bag, one leafy greens bag, and one mushroom bag (the zippers are color coded making it easy to find what she needs).
For Night Sweats: Women’s Cooling 3 Piece Pajama Set
If hot flashes are a problem when sleeping, this three-piece set is a must! Pajamas may seem like a stretch, but they’re a great way to show you care and want her to get the best night of sleep possible. She’ll love how complete this pajama set is — it comes with the pants, top, and robe — and the cooling lightweight jersey it’s made from. Each piece can be worn together or separately depending on her needs.
We love that it comes in four color choices and offers a loose, comfortable fit perfect for lounging and sleeping (or a bit of both). Did we mention it’s machine washable?
Kendall Jenner Approved: Baloo Weighted Blanket
Did you know weighted blankets can help older people get a better night’s sleep? Give the gift of a hug whenever she needs it with this sustainably-made weighted blanket from Baloo. It comes in multiple sizes and weights (we love the throw option at 12 pounds, but there are larger blankets that go up to 25 pounds!) and is machine washable and dryer safe, making it easy to care for.
Plus, it’s the only quilted weighted blanket with 100% cotton throughout and zero polyester linings or filling. Eco-friendly and good for you? We’ll take one of each.
Slip Into Comfort: Puffy Sheep Slipper from Cozy Earth
If there’s one thing a woman never has too many of, it’s shoes. We’re including house shoes and slippers in that category!
I have loved everything I’ve ever gotten from Cozy Earth. Their products are of such a high quality, it’s amazing!
These slippers are like wearing a plush cloud. I love that they’re naturally odor-resistant and breathable without sacrificing on the warm and cozy. Since they have a lightweight rubber outsole, I’ve worn these slippers outdoors for quick errands, too. They come in a stunning natural color that’ll pair perfectly with her favorite comfy outfit.
Sleep Well: Everyday Memory Foam Everyday Bed Pillow
A good night’s sleep is something everyone strives for. This overstuffed plush pillow will help her get just that!
“This newly released pillow is going to be a major hit this holiday season!,” Savannah shares. “It allows you to create your own level of fluff, filling the pillow with as much of as little filling as you please. The fabric is cooling too, so it’s perfect for hot sleepers like me!”
With cooling fabric and a washable cover, this adjustable pillow can be stuffed or unstuffed with fill depending on her sleep needs. It comes with five pounds of extra fill so she can customize her comfort!
Embrace the Day: Papier Le Classique Foiled Undated Daily Planner
Do you know someone who loves to make plans? This undated daily planner is the ideal gift.
“If you always buy a cute planner, only to fill out a few pages and have to get a brand-new one every year, this classy planner is for you!” Savannah says. “It’s undated and looks beautiful on a living room shelf. It has plenty of space to fill with her daily schedule and spotlight essential to-dos, no matter how long those lists get!”
She can use it every day or at a leisurely pace because it’s undated, but it has 365 pages to last her all year long.
