Once a woman has reached her 50s, she moves through the world a little differently. She's often less focused on what others think and more concerned with looking and feeling her best ― on her own terms.

That's why we've rounded up the best gifts for women over 50 who have everything.

This list has everything from practical presents and luxury beauty and wellness gifts to unique items that encourage creativity and fun jewelry that'll really help her shine. You'll find a few Amazon best-sellers for last-minute shoppers, including a small crossbody bag she can wear on the go. Plus, you'll notice top gifts for women from the Good Housekeeping Institute's experts as well as classic options our gift experts absolutely love — think a luxury 100% silk pillowcase for just $20 and joggers that are comfortable enough to sport every day.
