Giving a birthday gift to a 65-year-old woman might seem a bit challenging. We tend to think that they already have everything they could want and that there are no more gifts that will be exciting or unique.

How We Selected Gifts for that 65-Year-Old Woman
Perfecting the gift for the 65-year old can be a tough business but you can do it! We tend to buy gifts we think they will like instead of gifts they will like. As a gift-giver, I always pay attention to gifts I am given because most times the person giving me the gift would love the gift themselves. It tells me a lot about them especially if it is a bad gift. When you’re choosing your mom or grandmas gift stop thinking about their age. As women, gifts and age do not go together. Just because I am 65 doesn’t mean I need an old lady gift. I still want something fun and useable.
