  When a woman is over 50, birthdays tend to be a time to take a look at all she's accomplished in her life from career to family. Finding that special gift for women over 50 requires a lot of thought and creativity in order to make it truly unique. Think about her hobbies, interests, and all the things she's ever dreamed about and you'll find the ideal present.
  
  

Jewelry

• Depending on her personal style, authentic and out of the ordinary jewelry pieces make a great gift for a woman over 50. A sterling silver or gold charm bracelet is one unique present. Search for charms that express some sentiment and testament to the important times in her life. For instance, for a woman who travels extensively, charms that remind her of the destinations are a unique choice, like an Eiffel Tower charm if she's been to France or a thong sandal if the beach was a favorite destination. A handmade or exotic piece of jewelry is another great gift idea. Pearls come in all shapes sizes and colors, or a broach designed with her birthstone make a one of a kind gift.
  
  

Romantic

• Don't forget the romance when looking for that unique gift for the woman in your life over 50. A chocolate lover may like an imported box of chocolates from Belgium or Switzerland. A floral arrangement is lovely but flowers don't last, why not try a different take on flowers and send her a bouquet of chocolate roses? Give her a day at the spa including a couples' massage to really kick up the romance factor. Spending the day with her may be the real unique gift she'll treasure.
  
  

Lighthearted

• Turning 50 is synonymous with officially being "over the hill" and for some women a fun gift may be just the ticket to help them to feel young at heart. Bring her back to the days of her youth by taking her to your local amusement park. Fill up on cotton candy and hot dogs, ice cream sodas and sno cones are on the menu for this fun gift idea. Take her back to her hometown to relive precious memories of her childhood and teen years by visiting old haunts, friends and relatives. Create a memory book full of pictures of her throughout the half a century of her life. The time and effort put into this fun gift makes the gift unique and memorable.
