Best Selling Holiday Gifts For 50-Year Olds

KINGSTON SMART BRACELET

I’ve never really warmed up to wearable tech because of the way it usually looks—no silicone bands for this lady, thanks. But this gorgeous line of Bluetooth-connected smart bracelets goes against all of my preconceived notions. I love the way the gold-plated Kingston looks like a sleek cuff bracelet that you’d actually want to wear every day (the design’s approved by the one-and-only Iris Apfel!) but then offers useful features like phone notifications and step tracking and monitoring. What I’m most interested in, though, is the unique distress signal. By tapping the bottom half of the bracelet, you can send an alert and GPS location to approved contacts in case of emergency. I wish this weren’t the case, but I know every woman has worried about her safety walking alone at night. This feature is so discreet and effective, you can imagine a lot of scenarios in which it could actually be life-saving.  

 

We’re a firm believer in multi-functional gifts, because who really wants to receive something they’ll never use? Designed for effortlessly chic men and women, this handcrafted leather tote has every element of a perfect bag: Sturdy construction and craftsmanship, buttery-soft leather, and plenty of room for all their belongings. Raw edges and contrast stitching gives it a rugged feel, and you know that beautiful finish will only get better over time. It’s a great closet staple that embodies the “buy less, buy better,” philosophy. They’ll love seeing how it ages and wears with use to become truly one of a kind.

 

 

ANNA CERAMIC HEATER

This space heater has been on our list since the weather started getting colder, and we finally got to try it out this week! Unlike most space heaters that are complete eyesores, this one is so sleek and well designed!Apparently it’s coated in a special paint that won’t yellow and wear even after years of use, so it’s going to stay looking good. Though it’s slim and discreet, it heats up small spaces like bathrooms and personal offices easily with an adjustable thermostat, and best of all, it has self-regulating ceramic heating element, so you never have to worry about burning the house down. This one’s a godsend for BA50s with cold hands and feet.  

EVERYDAY & THE GOOD STUFF DECANTER SET

We’ve gifted this a few times and people absolutely love it! This crystal set is a lighthearted gift for the whiskey connoisseur, and it will prove itself very useful. Fun and oddly elegant, each gorgeous decanter is hand-engraved to help you keep track of its contents(‘Everyday Booze’ for the large, and ‘The Good Stuff’ for small). Just watch everyone’s faces as they bring out the ‘Everyday’ bottle…
