Some women hate the idea of hitting fifty, while others embrace it, but either way it’s a milestone that deserves a heartfelt 50th birthday gift. Steer clear of clichés and choose something unique and thoughtful that will help her celebrate the half century she’s enjoyed and look forward to the decades to come, like jewelry to wish by or a book of affirmations to live by.
50th Birthday Necklace
With each circle representing one decade of her life, this 50th birthday gift is simple yet unusual, and will make a touching tribute. Crafted from 925 sterling silver, the five interlocking rings hang on a 19” chain, and if the length doesn’t suit the makers will adjust it free of charge.
Fantastic 50 Birthday Gift
With age comes wisdom, and that’s exactly what this bracelet represents. Threaded with stunning Lapis Lazuli beads and finished with a tiny heart charm, this 7” bracelet will stretch to fit most wrists. Presented with a card that explains the symbolism, it’s a gift she’ll treasure for always.
50th Birthday Retro Candy Box
With almost 3lb of candy included in this box, it will be a sweet trip down memory lane for one lucky lady. Containing some of the best and most-loved candies from the past 50 years, this hamper of vintage sweets includes the likes of Pop Rocks, Wax Lips, and delicious Pixy Stix.
5 Gems, One for Each Decade Necklace
Help her mark her 50th with this beautiful necklace. The sterling silver horizontal bar is encrusted with five sparkling cubic zirconia stones – one for each decade – and hangs on a sterling silver 20” chain, which can be adjusted free of charge by the maker if it doesn’t suit.
50 Pink Roses
Say Happy Birthday with roses by sending her this incredible bouquet. 50 beautiful rosebuds will be sent to the address of your choice, and are available in green, white, yellow, and pink. Arriving as closed buds, the roses will take between 4 and 72 hours to bloom.
Framed 50th Birthday Poster
Whether she’s having a party or just celebrating with an afternoon cake in the office, this wall art poster will make a fun alternative to the traditional guest book. Arriving unframed, this colorful ‘Cheers to 50 Years’ print can be signed by friends, loved ones, and colleagues for a displayable keepsake.
Funny 50th Birthday Mug
Aristotle said ‘we are the sum of our actions’, and if her actions include looking like she’s 22, feeling like she’s 18, and acting like she’s 10, then that all adds up to 50. Printed on both side of this white ceramic mug, being 50 won’t seem so bad after all!
Hunt A Killer Murder Mystery Subscription Box
Some people take up a new sport, but if she wants to catch serial killers instead, the Hunt a Killer Subscription Box is for her. Delivered once a month, this box will contain clues, evidence, autopsy reports, and witness statements for her to pore over as she tries to discover whodunnit.
50th Birthday Wish Jar
Party guests can add their wishes for the birthday girl to this keepsake jar for a lasting keepsake she can look back on and treasure. Supplied with 100 wish tickets and a pen, it’s a beautiful take on the standard guest book and will make a wonderfully touching gift.

Busy lives leave little time for exercise, so give her the means to keep fit with this under desk cycle. It’s quiet enough to use in the office, and comes with 8 calibrated resistance settings so she can progress from easy to challenging, all while she’s writing an email.

My Life Story So Far
They say we all have a book in us, so help her get her story onto paper with this ‘My Life Story So Far’ journal. Divided into 9 sections, this book contains prompts to spark memories such as first dates, school friends, family roots, words of wisdom, and more.
Scratch-Off Adventure Journal
Something happens in middle age that makes us realize that we need to start working our way through our bucket list. If she hasn’t got one lined up ready, this book will give her plenty of adventures – the only catch is she won’t know what that adventure is until it’s too late.
TUSHY Bidet
Mid-life can be a time of revelations, and one of those is that the planet is in trouble; another is that she needn’t wipe her butt anymore. The Tushy is a simple yet ingenious bidet system that’s incredibly easy to install, and which will do the cleaning for her without wasting any trees.
NoteCube Personalized Message Box
Reaching half a century is a momentous occasion, and 50th birthday gifts for women should reflect that. The NoteCube is a sweetly sentimental idea that gives her an actual box of messages that she can keep forever from the people she loves, all based on the qualities that she possesses.
Custom Painting

Ideal for those ‘senior moments’ that we all get, this wise owl will keep her spectacles safe and right where she left them. Handmade in India from a single piece of sheesham wood, this cute holder can perch beside her bed, on her desk, or wherever she tends to leave her specs.
NOMAD Portable Charcoal Barbecue Grill
If packing her bags for an adventure doesn’t normally include a barbecue, with the Nomad Portable Grill it’s just one more case to carry. Lightweight and portable, it opens out into an innovative design that can be burned on all kinds of surfaces, and uses fruit wood for a longer, cleaner burn.

Keep her warm in the great outdoors with a Yukon Solo Stove. Weighing just 38lbs, this attractive fire pit can provide comforting heat whether it’s in the back yard or the back of beyond. With a 360˚AirFlow Design, it also produces less smoke, making it even more soothing to be around.

Fun days out with the girls or romantic picnics for two – both events call for ice cold wine to make them more enjoyable.

Birthstone Hummingbird Feeder
This stunning hummingbird feeder would look good as an ornament, but its use goes far beyond the aesthetics. Not only can you match the glass color to the recipient’s birth month, but the globe can be filled with nectar which delicate hummingbirds can access through the tiny red flower feeder.
