I’ll be the first to admit that finding gift ideas for modern women over 50 is tough – even when you’re one yourself! As I’ve gotten a little older, I’ve started to notice that buying presents for my friends have become more difficult. Maybe women over 50 place less value on material things. Or, maybe our tastes simply change as we age.
One of the worst things that you can do is to choose a gift based on aging stereotypes or, worse, “anti-aging” messages. So, before you start searching for cookware, skin cream, bath salts, or knitting wool, take the time to understand the unique personality of the special woman in your life.
