A Good Book
If she’s a reader then these make the best gifts.
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin: A fasinating and inspiring non-fiction account of Gretchen’s one year plan to make her life happier.
The Thursday Murder Club 4 Books Set by Richard Osman: A funny and poignant series about a group of friends in a Retirement Village who solve murders.

Temperature Controlled Smart Mug
I have let my coffee go cold too many times so this Smart Mug sounds fantastic. This Rose Gold, Ember Smart Mug can be controlled with the Ember App through your smartphone. It’s 295ml and will keep your drink at the perfect temperature for up to 90 minutes.
Spa Day
One of my favourite gifts to receive. A whole day of lounging around a pool, use of the jacuzzi and saunas. Add a relaxing treatment for that extra bit of luxury such as a back massage to ease those sore muscles or a moisturising facial for dry skin. They usually include a delicious lunch and make the ideal gift for a special occasion. And the best part … the giver of this gift can make sure they go too. My favourite spa day in the North East of England is at Seaham Hall but you can check out the Spa Breaks website for deals around the UK. One of the best gift ideas for women over 50 in my experience.
Gift Cards
If you’re not sure what to buy her then a gift card would be a really thoughtful gift. There are so many on the market it makes it easy to choose one to suit her. Take a look at The Giftcard Centre, they have cards for everywhere from ASOS to M&S to Vue Cinema. And if you’re still not sure then they have a Wishcard that lets her choose from the 180+ brands they have available.
Sterling Silver
Although everyone raves about gold jewellery, but sterling silver is just as gorgeous.
These Carrie Elspeth Blue Cats Eye Star Earrings with sterling silver hooks are beautiful, very reasonably priced and handmade in Wales. Their gemstone bracelets and necklaces are also stunning and come in a variety of colors.
The sterling silver infinity celtic knot necklace with her birthstone would make a fantastic gift.
For something a bit more expensive this Paloma Picasso Olive Leaf Heart necklace is stunning.
Tea Lover
If this is her ‘cup of tea’ (sorry couldn’t help myself) then these would make the perfect gift.
This stylish Tea Making Gift for Two includes a glass tea pot, two double-walled glass mugs and an hourglass tea timer. It also comes with a choice of loose leaf tea: English Breakfast, Jasmine Dragon Pearls, Peppermint Leaves or Sencha.
Or maybe Matcha tea is more her thing. This Complete Matcha Gift Set would be a wonderful gift for that 50 year old woman in your life. It comes with a bowl for preparing your green tea powder, a set of spoons and a bamboo whisk.
You could always take her out for afternoon tea. Check out the Squaremeal website to find the perfect place near you. And if you book for the whole family that would just make an extra special gift she’ll remember.
Foot Massage
A lovely way of relaxing and reducing tension.
The Bob & Brad Foot Massager not only gives your feet a lovely shiatsu massage, it also has a heat therapy function too. This gift is such an easy way for a bit of foot pampering and could become one of her favorite things
Why not book her a foot massage session with a therapist near you. You can choose from Swedish foot massage, hot stone foot massage or even some reflexology. Search for one near you or check your social media for recommendations.
This pampering 4 piece, travel size Discovery Kit for Feet by Margaret Dabbs also sounds divine. It comes with foot soak, foot lotion, exfoliating scrub and a foot oil. With a fragrance of lemon and tea tree it will leave her feet feeling fabulous.
Essential Oils
Always a welcome gift, products with essential oils leave you feeling relaxed or rejuvenated.
The Body Shop has an essential oils wellness range with different aromas that help you sleep, breathe or boost you.
The Lavender Sleep Calming Pillow Mist will help her get a good night’s sleep or try the Breathe Eucalyptus & Rosemary Reed Diffuser which is also helps relax you. The Boost Uplifting Hair & Body aims to refresh and give a great start to the day. A basket made up of a few products from the range would make the perfect present.
Cool Blanket & Pillowcase
Most 50-year-old women (and older) will thank you for a gift that helps cool those hot flashes and night sweats.
Luxear Cooling Blanket and Pillow Cases: With arc-chill cooling technology these are a perfect choice. It comes in various sizes and has a silky feel to the cool side, and a 100% cotton soft feel to the ‘normal’ side. And they come in 6 different colors. It doesn’t matter how many times you wash it, the ‘cool’ technology keeps on working. I used my blanket all through the summer last year, and continue to use my pillow cases all year round. It’s just so good to know you don’t have to suffer with being too hot during the night.
Wine Glass
A bottle of wine always goes down well with a lot of people, so how about putting a really special wine glass for her favorite glass of wine.
For something quirky how about this gorgeous Ichendorf Milano Botanical Optical Stemmed wine glass. Or these very pretty hand-painted floral dragonfly wine glasses would be fabulous gifts. If you’re looking for unique gift ideas then you could also have her name or initials engraved on it.
What gift will you choose for that 50-year-old woman in your life?
