Your mom’s 50th birthday is coming up and you have no clue what to get her! While you don’t necessarily want to highlight how old she is, there are several gift ideas for your mom’s 50th birthday that would be meaningful and be something she really cherishes. It could be something as simple as a framed picture, a decoration, a coffee mug, or something else entirely. Here are some of my favorite picks:
Show Mom Your Love Her With These 50th Birthday Gift Ideas
Just in case she might have everything. And if you are shopping for your wife’s birthday, check out our list here .
Custom Heart Shaped Wooden Decoration
If your mom is a grandma, then this grandparents heart shaped wooden decoration with the grandkids’ names on the plaques is the perfect gift. She can hang it up where she can proudly show whoever visits her. Grandmas truly love bragging about their grandchildren, it’s usually one of their favorite things to do!
California’s Wines Subscription
Sign Mom up for a subscription wine box (or a one-off gift selection). From international to domestic, red, white, rose or a selection, she can enjoy new bottles for her new decade. This is the most popular wine subscription service in the US!
Home is Where Your Mom is Picture Frame
Who else feels as if being with their mom makes them feel like they are home? Even as we get older, that is often true. They were once the center of our whole universe and often keep a vital role in it.
Custom Photo Coffee Mug
This custom photo mug is another cute choice. Place a picture of you, one of their furbabies, or a grandchild on the mug. She will enjoy drinking her coffee, tea, or hot cocoa from this cup day after day. Pretty much anything personalized is going to be a hit as gift ideas for your mom’s 50th birthday.
50th Birthday T-Shirt
You can customize this shirt with mom’s year of birth for a fun tee to wear on her birthday. She’ll love it – especially if she has a big 50th birthday bash coming up.
Red Wine Decanter
If your mom is a wine drinker then having a nice decanter is a must. This one is great for both aerating and serving her favorite reds.
Spa Bath Gift Set
Everyone deserves to have a night of relaxation once in awhile, so get your mom this luxurious spa bath gift set to use from the comfort of her own home. If your mom likes to work from the bath, we have you covered there too.
Breakfast Tray with Legs
Breakfast in bed is a classic, and such a sweet gesture. The first step would be getting this nice breakfast tray with legs that she doesn’t have to hold up to eat off of. Then you cook her up a nice, delicious breakfast to enjoy and put a huge smile on her face!
Carole Hochman Women’s Floral Quilted Robe
Robes are comfortable and handy to have to wear around the house, before bed, in the morning, or just to relax in. This one just happens to be floral print and soft quilted fabric!
Mini Donut Maker
Donuts are delicious, so if your mom is a donut fan, get her this mini donut maker so that she can make batches of them in her own kitchen!
Heart Shirt
Hearts represent love and this shirt is simple, yet adorable. Your mom will love wearing it and pointing out to everyone that she got it from you!
Smart Watch
If your mom has been thinking about getting a smart watch or fitness tracker use her birthday as an excuse to splurge on one that will suit her needs and style. I like this one for both value and quality, but Fitbits and Apple Watches are great too.
Starbucks Tumbler
For your coffee-loving mom, especially a Starbucks fan, this tumbler is a cute birthday gift for her to drink her water or iced coffee from. You could even fill it with little mementos, or anything else that she might appreciate, when you give it to her.
Photo Album
Photo albums are always a good idea to give to your mom, filling them with memories and fun pictures that she is sure to enjoy as she flips through and relives those cherished memories.
Kindle
You can’t beat the Kindle for book lovers! If she doesn’t have one but likes to ready it’s so handy – just make sure you get her some e-books too.
50 And Still Hot Coffee Mug
A gift that actually does accentuate how old she is, but is humorous. She will appreciate the thought behind it and the message it portrays!
Personalized Garden Sign
If your mom is passionate about gardening or taking care of her backyard a custom sign is a nice way to show you notice her hard work. She’ll be able to keep this one for years!
Coffee and Espresso Machine
At 50 she’s probably still busy – whether that’s with work, her home, or hobbies – so coffee is still a must. This machine gets the morning brew in two ways: coffee and espresso.
Custom Birthstone Bracelet
If you’re on a budget but still want to get mom a thoughtful piece of jewellery a birthstone bracelet is just the ticket. It’s simple and pretty (so she can wear it often) but still personal.
Smart Essential Oil Diffuser
If mom likes to keep the house smell great give her an upgrade for her birthday this year! This diffuser doesn’t need to be refilled and covers a large area.
Plus you can control all kinds of settings so there’s no waste!
Personalized Family Sign
A lovely gift for a mom who likes to decorate. These cute houses are customized with your own family so you can include yourself and your siblings in one gift.
Craft/Hobby Supplies
The Cricut is probably the best option if your mom crafts and doesn’t already have one but you can also get her anything that would add to her existing hobbies if you’re not sure what to get.
Birth Year Book
Is your mom the nostalgic type? Then she’ll definitely appreciate one of these “time travelling” books. It highlights all the popular events and moments the year she was born.
Customized Oven Mitt
If your mom has a new baby in the house (aka a dog) that she adores get her something customized with pup’s face for this special birthday!
I wouldn’t just give her the oven mitt unless you’re on a tight budget but it’s a nice addition to a bigger gift.
Indoor Gardening Set
You’d be hard pressed to find a mom that doesn’t like gardening at least a little bit. This kit comes with everything you need to start an indoor herb garden; no fuss and practical!
There are so many options as gifts for your mom on her 50th birthday, try out any one of these gifts as they are sure to be pleasers!
