Dreamy Gifts
There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep, and often senior women fight to get the right amount of zzz’s. Here are a couple of thoughtful household items for the over-50 dream-chasers on your gift list.
Often, noises are the culprit of sleep interruption. Gift her with a beautiful white-noise machine that not only looks great beside her bed, but drowns out unwanted sounds such as barking dogs or traffic noise. Include a silk pillowcase, fleece slippers or a bottle of lavender pillow spray to give her the most restful night possible.
Another excellent gift idea for peaceful slumber over 50 is a blanket. Whether you choose a popular weighted blanket or simply a cozy luxury throw, sweet dreams are sure to follow for her. Send the blanket along with a collection of aromatherapy lotions or an oil diffuser for the perfect soothing gift.
Creativity Gifts
If she is the creative type, you’ll find awesome gifts for senior women. Whether she likes to paint, draw, take photographs or write: Gift ideas abound.
For the artist, present her with a mixed media art set. Nicer collections include oil paints, acrylics, fine brushes, pencils and chalk pastels to suit any creative style. You can even rest the gift on an open easel or include a blank canvas or a gift certificate for an advanced art class.
If your gift recipient is a child at heart, you can find wonderful mandala coloring books for adults. These mesmerizing outlines allow for quiet reflection and meditation as the artist colors in the beautiful designs. Wrap the coloring books and a box of colored pencils in a bright scarf with a mandala pattern she can replicate.
For the over-50 woman who loves to make her own jewelry, tap into the gorgeous handmade jewelry kits available at craft stores. High-quality beads, natural stones and brightly painted cords open up a world of possibilities for the creative woman. Include a beautiful decorative jewelry organizer to sit on her table or hang on her wall.
