Best 50th Birthday Gifts for Women Who Have Everything

Is your friend, sister, mother or wife turning 50? These are 50th birthday gifts for women that will make you her hero.

Let’s face it by the time a woman is 50 if she wants something she either has it or can go buy it. But all women like gifts. Gifts tell us someone is thinking about us. They tell us we are special, cared about and loved. So even though a 50 year old woman doesn’t need things she loves getting something.

50th Birthday Gifts for Woman to Forget About

First of all what not to get. I would skip the Tshirts like this one that broadcasts a woman’s age or the corny wine glasses that say what year she was born. Also, skip the silly books like this. These things are the classic 50 year old gift, but not really appreciated and will probably end up at the thrift store or be regifted.

Even though a woman is 50 she probably feels 30 or 35. The last thing she wants is to be reminded that she is getting old.

Gifts to Maker Her Feel Pampered

1. Gift Certificate for a Massage

Does she have a favorite massage therapist? Be sure to get the gift certificate from that massage therapist.

Or a foot massage machine like this one

 2. Tickets to a Play or Concert

Can you find a concert one of her favorite bands is giving? How about a play? You could go all out fly to New York City and get Broadway tickets or get tickets to the local community theater play depending on your budget.

3. Fun or Pretty Stemless Wine Glasses

She probably has regular wine glasses, but does she have a special set of stemless wine glasses? The ones in the middle are great for a woman with smaller hands. There are all kinds of fun sayings etched in wine glasses or get something really pretty like the stained glass inspired wine glasses.

 

4. Wine 

 From one-time single bottle wine gifts to massive full-case wine subscriptions, presents for all budgets. Browse through wine delivery gifts. Several friends are raving about this wine club.  

5. New Outfit (chosen by a personal stylist)

Sometimes it’s hard to hit the balance of looking like you have style, but are not trying to look 20 years younger than you actually are. A personal stylist can help with that and it also saves her a ton of time searching through store after store finding nothing she likes.

50th Birthday Gifts for Readers

If you know there is a book she is wanting to read by all means get it. Here is one of my favorite inspiring books for quick stories about inspiring people. I am listening to this one now.  If you need more ideas for books I put togehter a list of the 10 Best Self Help Books for Women

6. Books

If she is a reader and you don’t know what she might want her are some other fun book ideas:

Suggest she downloads the free Amazon.com – Read eBooks using the FREE Kindle Reading App on Most Device

For something fun and educational try 50 Things to Do When You Turn 50 or 1969 the Year that Changed Everything.

Audible Subscription

Listening to books is a great option if she commutes to work or wants to work out, but has trouble with staying motivated. Both commuting and working out are more pleasant while listening to a good book.

I even find listening to a good book helps me stay motivated to clean house one of my least favorite chores.

With a subscription to Audible, she can pick out her own books.
