Gifts for women who have everything
How often have you heard, “Oh don’t buy me anything, I don’t need or want anything”? Not a very helpful response when you’re trying to figure out what to buy for the women who have everything and don’t want anything.
They are probably telling the truth. They really don’t need anything, but don’t be fooled. If you buy them a thoughtful gift, they will be very grateful, and I’m sure they’ll love it too!!
And let’s face it, by the time we hit 50 we really do already have everything we need so why not buy her something that maybe she would never think of buying for herself?
These unique gifts for women over 50 are sure to please and probably nothing they would ever buy, or think to buy, for themselves. They will love you forever!
Also, these are great gifts for any special occasion such as:
- Mother’s Day
- Milestone birthday
- Valentine’s Day
- Birthday gifts
Let’s not forget that showing up with a thoughtful gift for that special woman in your life, any time of the year, is really just a great way to say
“Hey I’m thinking about you and I love you and want you to know how special you are to me.” Nothing wrong with that in my books!
Gifts for women over 50 who don’t want anything
Yup. We have everything. But every now and then we will see something that looks super cool, we just don’t buy it for ourselves. We’re strange creatures indeed!
Trying to find the best gifts for women over 50 who have everything can certainly be frustrating.
We also have to keep in mind that many women over 50 have purged a lot of stuff and don’t want to have stuff kicking around the house that they don’t need. Clutter if you will.
We hate clutter (or maybe that’s just me?).
That’s where these best gift ideas for women comes in handy! I’m here to help you. You’re welcome 🙂
