Gifts for Women Who Love to Stay in and Be Cozy

As the weather starts to turn, there’s nothing better than staying inside on a cool evening.  Whether she loves to snuggle up on the couch and watch movies, or would rather sip a cup of tea and read, here are the best gifts for the woman who loves quiet-cozy times.

Hyggelight Candle

For the woman in your life that seems to have everything, I cannot recommend a new candle enough! On Amazon, I found one made by Hyggelight that has made one of my favorite zero waste gifts- a growing candle. 

These beautifully designed candles come in gorgeous containers where you first use your candle as normal- burn and enjoy. Then, once the wax is gone, take the container and place the included seed paper label and watch the beautiful wildflowers grow!

No matter her personal style, I can guarantee that this company makes a candle that beautifully matches their personal aesthetic. From gold to a crisp white ceramic to bright and fun colors, you can grab a gift that they will personally love. 

Do your part to reduce the amount of glass thrown into landfills each year and check out the growing candle for a holiday gift.

Wearable Blanket

As silly as this sounds, with over 40,000 5 star reviews, you honestly cannot go wrong with the Comfy as a holiday hygge gift this year! I mean, the name says it all- right? And it comes in many different colors and patterns that you can imagine so you can get one that any woman in your life will love. 

For bonus points, get you and your partner matching ones! It will be a fun memory this holiday season- guaranteed!

Microwave Popcorn Maker

Curled up on the couch ready for a movie? Who doesn’t love popcorn. This microwave popper works fast and doesn’t even need any oil. It’s easy to clean which is a bonus for sure.

Kindle Paperwhite for Book Lovers

Whether she is floating in the pool or sitting on the sidelines at a soccer game each week, an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite edition is an excellent gift for the holidays. It comes with 3 months of Kindle Unlimited so she can read anything and everything under the sun (literally). 

Plus they come waterproof so that she won’t worry about any spills. I love that it has a backlight so you can read in dim situations. Being able to adjust the font size is a huge benefit as well.

Vintage Puzzle

I love these puzzles! Puzzles are a great idea for older adults and can be the perfect gift idea from family members.

These Cavallini puzzles are my hands-down favorites. They are super cool vintage graphic art and the best part is they have a matte finish, so there’s none of that annoying glare on your puzzle from overhead lighting. This makes a huge difference for aging eyes.

Ugg Women’s Slippers

These slippers are the best, hands down. I really like these scuffs because they’re so easy to slip on and off. 

UGG shoes are known for their quality and extreme comfort, and these slippers are no exception. Made with a thicker sole with sheep and lamb fur, her feet will exhale with relief when she puts them on. 

Uggs are really the best for anyone with cold feet who want to feel cozy and pampered.

Gifts for Wine Lovers

White, red, or something in between.  Wine is something to share with friends and family, something to celebrate with and sometimes just something to get you through the day.  Here are gifts the wine loving woman in your life would love to receive.

Automatic Corkscrew Wine Bottle Opener

This super practical gift is the kind that I will be grabbing a few of at Christmas time this year.

Normally, a Rabbit Electric Wine Opener can cost a lot of money, but Amazon was able to work their magic and reduce the cost. 

This means that almost everyone on my list will be getting this wine opening kit from me this year- even Paula from down the road.

When I say that everyone will be getting one this year, I am including my husband in this. Why? Because I want one for my kitchen as well! It’s the perfect choice for any wine lover on your list.

Rapid Wine Ice Cooler

Have you ever bought a bottle of white or rose and got home ready to drink it, but it wasn’t chilled? This handy wine cooler does the job fast. Chills a bottle of wine in just 5 minutes and keeps it cold for hours. Just freeze for 6 hours and you’re ready to quick chill.

The internal freezer sleeve folds flat so it doesn’t take up much space. I just keep mine in the freezer when I’m not using it so it’s always ready to go.

Wine Purse Beach Tote

This super cute and stylish beach tote discreetly holds 2 bottles of your favorite wine in a bpa free beverage pouch. With room for other essentials, this bag can hold hot or cold drinks. 

It comes in tons of cute colors and designs too. Everyone needs a good tote bag – and this one is extra special.

Crystal Glass Stemless Wine Glass Set

These are my favorite multi purpose wine glasses. I like the universal ones, but they come in lots of different types for lots of different drinks. They hold a good sized drink and they are made of durable but elegant crystal glass.

These well priced, but quality glasses would make any wine lover happy.

Insulated Thermal Wine Tumblers

This cute set of insulated wine tumblers comes with lids and straws to keep your drink cold and clean when you’re camping, at the beach or simply picnicing in your backyard. 

They hold 12-ounces so you won’t be refilling all the time and they come in lots of pretty color combinations.

Wine Preservation System

How many times would you like a glass of your favorite wine, but don’t want to open a whole bottle? This amazing gadget solves that problem. It’s designed to pour wine without removing the cork. 

So instead of feeling pressure to finish off that bottle, you can pour just as much as you want and know that that precious vintage will last several weeks instead of just a day or two.

Gifts for the Chic Woman

Remember when I said 50 is the new 30? Take it from me, getting older is getting better, not getting frumpier. These items are great tools that make staying gorgeous a bit easier.

Whether it’s styling your hair, washing your face, sleeping or working on those signs of aging, these gifts will be a hit with the over 50 women who love to take care of their appearance.

Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush

I’ve got a confession to make: I stink at styling my hair. This styling tool makes it so easy because the brush is built right into the dryer. No more juggling that round brush and blow dryer. And it really works. I’ve told all my friends about this one. 

Test out the heat settings before you use though – I’ve found that the low setting is plenty hot enough for my hair. If you have silver or gray hair, make sure to keep heat styling to a minimum and if you start to get yellowing or brassiness, try a blue shampoo for silver hair.

Titanium 1″ Ultra-Thin Straightening Iron

If you simply must use a flat iron on your hair, this is definitely the one. It’s the same model my hairdresser uses on me when I want a smooth style. Just don’t use it every day because it can be damaging to your hair, or use a heat protection spray first. 

It’s ultra thin, lightweight and really does the job.

Super Soft Washable Make-up Remover Cloths

These amazing washable cloths take off all your makeup, even mascara. Stop buying disposable makeup remover cloths and get a set of these. 

They are super soft, don’t tug on your skin and wash up beautifully. I went away for a weekend and forgot to bring mine. I used the hotel washcloth and I was surprised at how rough it felt on my skin. Definitely packing mine next time.

100% Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

This pillowcase is the exact one I use and love. It’s super soft and doesn’t cause any friction on your face or your hair.

I really feel that I wake up looking more rested with softer hair since I’ve started using these pillowcases.

They do need to be hand washed though, but they dry in a snap so it’s totally worth it for me. I only have one of these, but I probably should buy another so I’m not handwashing in a rush!

Near-infrared LED Mask for Home Facials

This mask either looks futuristic, or like you’re returning from the Trojan war…I really can’t decide. This infrared mask was designed to be used at home. It is supposed to help reduce inflammation and redness, improves firmness and reduces fine lines. 

Plus, it looks cool. Facials at home these days are probably a lot safer than having someone breathing right in your face these days too.

Gifts for Gardening Lovers

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a woman over 50 who loves gardening, there are so many choices. There’s just something about plants, soil and being closer to nature, whether you’re indoors or out that just soothes the soul.

I’ve been a plant lover since my college days – from houseplants to patio gardens to full fledged outdoor gardening, this hobby has kept me grounded, centered and in love with nature.

Did you know that Amazon sells plants? I was surprised too!

Live Indoor Plant

Amazon doesn’t sell just any plants though. Their plants are some of the highest quality plants that would make the perfect gift this holiday season. Whether she is a coworker, a neighbor, or just someone you love dearly, she will love this plant. 

Not only does it come in a beautiful planter, but this plant is easy to care for AND will help clean the air. 

With thousands of 5 star reviews, this plant is truly a beautiful present.

Cooling Bucket Hat with Sun Protection

This gardening hat is a genius find! When it gets wet, it instantly cools your head to 30 degrees below body temperature. Getting hot? Just dip in water, wring out and you’ve reactivated this hat’s cooling properties.

With a UPF of 50, this hat is great for hiking, camping, walking and all other hot outdoor activities too!

Raised Garden Bed

I have one of these on my patio, even though I have a yard big enough for a large garden. I love planting it with basil, chives, cilantro and parsley. It’s the perfect kitchen garden, just steps from my kitchen. 

Love baby lettuces? Sprinkle the seeds, water, and you’ve got fresh picked salads right outside your doorstep.

Perfect for herbs, lettuces, flowers, and just about anything you can plant.

Crane Garden Statues

I love these crane garden statues. Cranes are a symbol of happiness and eternal youth and just look amazing in your yard. In some cultures, cranes stand for good fortune and longevity – who wouldn’t love that symbolism in the garden?

Smart Bird Feeder with Camera

This one is definitely on my personal wish list this year. If you love the ourdoors and all the beautiful creatures you find there, you’ll love this smart bird feeder. When a bird lands to have a snack, you’ll get a smart phone notification that not only captures their picture, but helps you identify the bird species.

How cool is that?

Gardening Kneeling Pad

This super thick, comfortable pad is a knee saver for sure. Not just for gardening, you can use this 1.5 inch thick pad anything you want to stay comfortable on your knees: yoga, painting, bathing kids or dogs, you name it.

It comes in loads of pretty colors too and is a special gift for the senior woman who loves gardening.

Gifts for the Foodie Woman

Whether she loves to cook, entertain with food, or just loves to eat, there are many amazing kitchen gifts that are beyond home essentials for the 50+ woman that will make her smile.

From the latest gadgetry to tried and true kitchen workhouses, take a look at this short list of perfect gifts for the cook in your life.

Air Fryer

If she doesn’t have an air fryer yet, what are you waiting for? This baby allows you go fry food with 75% less fat. It has a wide temperature range so you can cook and crisp a wide variety of foods. You can also dehydrate thinly sliced food. 

Parts are dishwasher safe, which is always a plus.

Temperature Control Smart Mug

I hate it when my coffee gets cold and I have to reheat it again and again in the microwave. This smart mug keeps your hot drink perfectly hot for up to two hours. With auto shutoff, you don’t have to worry about it if you forget and leave it on. This would make a great Christmas gift for older people who are so busy they’re always walking away from their cup of tea or coffee during the winter months.

If you’re tech savvy, it can even be controlled by a smart phone app.

Electric Milk Heater and Frother

This compact gadget heats and froths a cup of milk for homemade cappuccinos and decadent hot chocolates. 

You can make drinks just like the barista with this: cappuccinos, mochas, macchiatos, and lattes.

It has a not stick interior so it’s a breeze to clean.

Multi Blade Adjustable Mandoline

I don’t know why I didn’t have one of these when my kids were little – I was always slicing up fruits and veggies for them. 

This well made adjustable mandoline is perfect for slicing cheese, vegetables, fruits. It can shred, julienne cut, make crinkle cuts and more.

This makes it easier to eat healthier by making it simple and fast to cut up veggies and fruits.

Cold Brew Coffee Maker

If you’ve ever had cold brew coffee, you know just how smooth and balanced it is. With this handy coffee maker, you simply add ground coffee, fill with cold water and refrigerate. 

It makes 28-oz of concentrated coffee that you can mix with your favorite milk, water or ice. Coffee stays fresh for up to two weeks in the fridge.

Digital Kitchen Scale

I bought this scale when I started making bread. It’s perfect because it’s small, accurate and easy to store in a drawer when not in use.

I’ve even weighed packages for mailing. It can be set to measure grams, pounds, pounds:ounces, ounces, and milliliters. 

Every good cook and every kitchen needs one of these.

Electric Juicer

This juicer is easy to use and easy to clean. Super easy way to get more fruits and veggies into your diet. You can juice whole fruits and veggies without having to cut things up into small slices.

FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Machine

This FoodSaver vacuum sealer is the perfect addition to a foodie’s kitchen. It’s perfect to reseal bulk products from Costco like meats, and sealed foods last up to three years in the freezer. I use mine to freeze the harvest from our fruit trees to use later in pies and cobblers. 

Perfect to use if you have a sous vide cooker too!

It can vacuum seal both wet and dry foods which makes it super versatile.

Sous Vide Cooker

Sous vide cooking is all the rage with chefs. This bluetooth connected cooker makes it easy to get things perfectly cooked.

Until I got one of my own, I didn’t understand all the hype. But it really is amazing. You can set something up to cook and not have to worry about it overcooking or burning. Pretty amazing.

This cooker circulates and heats water in a pot so you can perfectly cook all kinds of foods, without getting overdone or raw spots.

Pair it with the vacuum sealer above and you’ve got an amazing gift!

Gifts for the Active & Fit Woman

If you’re looking for a gift for the 50+ woman in your life, and she’s into health, wellness, and self-care, you’re in luck. There are so many quality gifts out there to choose from, whether your recipient is an aspiring yogi, master meditate, or just likes to walk the dog.

Cute Fanny Pack

Who says fanny packs have to be made of black nylon? This small pack is perfect to take along on a hike, when you’re walking the dog, or just for a quick trip into the city where you don’t want to deal with a heavy purse.

It comes in tons of colors too, so you’re bound to find a favorite.

Apple AirPods Pro

Whether you’re a walker, runner, hiker, or biker, wireless earphones are a must. These are an uppgrade from the original Apple AirPods. If you’re looking for a gift for an Apple products lover, these are a great option. They have a noise-cancelling feature which the old model didn’t have. 

Plus, these sport comfortable ear buds, so they feel a lot better in your ears.

Hydro Flask Insulated Water Bottle

These are everywhere now and for good reason. Any eco-conscious woman is concerned about single use plastic water bottles. These flasks are sleek, and keep your water cold for hours.

You can get different lids for them too: built in straws, looped handles, etc.

They also come in so many vibrant colors, you might want to get more than one.

Buckwheat Yoga-Meditation Pillow

This buckwheat filled pillow is perfect when you want to be comfortable meditating or in sitting yoga poses. The buckwheat squished around nicely so you can find just the perfect position for your bum. 

I love mine and use it all the time. Super comfortable and easy adjusts to your bum, no matter the size.

Thick Yoga Mat

This mat is sticky like a regular yoga mat, but it’s bit thicker.

It really feels better in any pose where you’re on your knees.  My 50 year old knees just can’t handle the thin mats anymore.

Comes in lots of bright colors and comes with a carrying strap.

Foam Roller

This feels so good to roll out sore muscles. The ridges help you get a little deeper into your sore spots. It comes with a video that shows just how to get the most of your foam roller in case you’re new to them.

It’s worth getting a full size foam roller because you can lie on it longways to improve your back mobility.

Apple Watch

This is definitely a splurge, but it’s great for so many things, fitness included. You can track your workouts, calorie burn, heart rate, and minutes exercised. It can remind you to stand up every hour if you are engrossed at your desk.

You can even set it up to remind you to breathe – everyone needs some mindfulness prompts once in a while! 

If the woman you’re buying for already has an Apple watch, you can get replacement bands in all kinds of colors, styles and designs to spice up their wrist. A new band is the perfect way to jazz up technology for that special lady.

Deep Tissue Muscle Massage Gun

Theragun really makes the best deep tissue massage guns, and this one is no exception. 

It comes with a pair of rechargeable batteries so you can always have a set charging. It also comes with several foam attachments so you can adjust the strength of impact. 

It is pricy, but it’s worth it if your recipient loves getting massages.

No more looking for all the cords for your phone, watch and earpods. Just set them on this super cool, sleek charging stand and you’re good to go. 

I love this because it really cleans up my nightstand of all those annoying, tangling cords and makes my neat-nick heart happy.

Noise Cancelling Headphones

There’s nothing like a pair of good noise cancelling headphones to put you in a state of peace when you want to listen to some good music. These also have a built in microphone in case you need to make a call and have Alexa built in. 

The fact that they fit over your ears makes them seem even more zen to me.

Video Doorbell

This wireless doorbell installs easily. It has motion detection so it turns the video on as soon as someone approaches your door. No more wondering if that doorbell is someone you actually want to see. 

Every household should have one of these.

Tile Mate Item Finder

This phone sanitizer uses UV waves to sanitize your phone while it charges. It’s made to kill 99.99% of Staph, E. Coli, Salmonella and other harmful bacteria and viruses.
