What do you get a woman who’s celebrating her 50th birthday? I ask because I have a number of friends celebrating the golden jubilee this year. So naturally, it inspired me to write a blog about this milestone celebration and what it means for the birthday girl.

Why is turning 50 is different and important?

Turning 50 is a monumental milestone for women to celebrate. And I say that not to cheer you up, but there are so many great benefits to turning 50. By the time we reach 50, we would’ve acquired enough wisdom and emotional maturity. In turn, we feel confident about who we are and how we behave. We become fearless and not afraid to have opinions. We love a good laugh and less bothered by sweating the small stuff.

By the time we hit the big 5-O, we’ve gained valuable experience and are able to help and guide others. Life taught us appreciation, gratitude and the value of forgiveness. Therefore, we are more content, at peace and less critical of ourselves.

We have more time to relax and explore new hobbies because our kids (if any) have moved on in life and are independent. This allows us to be free, more spontaneous and to do the things we’ve always dreamed of such as traveling or studying.

What does a 50-year woman want?

When shopping for her 50th birthday, look for something that reflects one of her passions. If she loves cooking, then buy her a beautiful and practical kitchen gift. Trust me she won’t be offended because she’s mature and knows what she needs.

Remember that every woman who turns 50 moving forward is a Generation X person. She will get a kick out of getting any 80s or 90s memorabilia such as a walkman cassette player, or a concert ticket to her favourite teen bands and artists like Madonna, Celine Dion, Duran Duran, U2.

She will also appreciate something comforting such as a spa package or a getaway and a dream vacation.

Most women at this age place great value on high-quality skincare products to help improve skin appearance. The market is saturated with anti-aging and skin firming creams and ointments. Take a look at some of the suggestions which were listed as best beauty products by Allure magazine in 2019.

If she’s contemplating starting something new such as starting a business or pursuing a new field of studies, then consider getting her an inspirational and life-changing books.
