50th Birthday Gifts for Women

There comes a time in every woman's life when she feels she has to lie about her age. "I'm 35," she'll say haughtily, despite the raised eyebrows and smirks she'll receive. She will spend hundreds of dollars on anti-wrinkle creams, support bras, and boxes of hair color, all in the hopes of hiding any trace of her actual age.


But, sadly, there also comes a time in every woman's life when her friends and family feel they have to tell the entire world (or, at least, anyone in a 25-foot radius that will listen) her actual age. The dreaded 50th birthday.


My mom's 50th is in a few weeks, and she has forbidden my family to throw her any kind of embarrassing party. So, of course, we've secretly planned a surprise get-together at her favorite restaurant with a few of her closest friends and family. We may suffer for it later, but the look on her face will more than make up for it.


However, this presented me with a dilemma: how will I win back my mother's love after she's mortified at this party? Will I be disowned? Written off her will? Then it hit me - I must find her the perfect birthday gift, one that will blind her to my scheming ways. So, the quest begins.
I could try a personalized 50th birthday picture frame, with a picture of the two of us. It would remind her of the good times, before I humiliated her in front of all her friends and a bunch of unsuspecting strangers on what could be the worst birthday of her life. Let's keep that one on the backburner.


What about a spa gift basket? A day of pampering will surely make her feel like a goddess...and help her forget my betrayal. Bath salts, body butter, bubble bath, shower gel all neatly packaged in a reusable case - who wouldn't love that? But maybe she already has too much bath stuff in her medicine cabinet as it is. I'll keep looking.


Maybe she would like some jewelry for her birthday, like a special bracelet or necklace, or even some earrings. Some "pearls of wisdom" perhaps? A charm bracelet would be a great accessory to her totally unplanned birthday outfit, and can actually be a very unique keepsake gift.


I'm finding so many hilariously sarcastic gift ideas for a 50th birthday...maybe I should just go all out and try to win back her affection through laughter! That could work, right? I could give her a personalized "Older Than Dirt" t-shirt, a bouquet of black duct-tape roses, and a book of jokes about being middle-aged. Maybe by making her laugh, she'll see that her 50th birthday is a time for fun, not misery!


I know I'll find the perfect gift somewhere, something that tells her how much I love and appreciate her, something special and unique, something that begs for forgiveness. It's just too bad that my dad's in the same boat...now I have to help him find the perfect gift, too!

Whether young or old, this is a great gift idea to give to a friend to help celebrate a special day, give to someone in need of cheering up, or to get for yourself. Each kit comes with a special Goddess Card and, of course, a crown to remind you just how special you are, along with an assortment of pampering items (lotion colors may vary).
