I'm in My 50s, and These Are Gifts People My Age Would Love
Melissa Meyers is a Los Angeles–based influencer with a focus on beauty, style, travel, and wellness. Her blog, The Glow Girl, aims to empower women to embrace the best version of themselves, age gracefully, and cultivate a glow from the inside out. She also happens to be 54 years old and has a penchant for finding the best products. Below, hear from Meyers on her holiday gift picks.
The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year. Our to-do lists can feel endless thanks to shopping, parties, events, and completing work projects before year-end. In order to select the best gifts that are truly enjoyed and appreciated, I like to stay as organized as possible by making a list of everyone to gift and then choosing something specifically for them.
I’ve listed some of my favorite gift ideas below by category to help with all your shopping needs for friends, family, employees—a curated shopping wish list and holiday gift guide for the lifestyle categories that resonate with me and so many Glow Girls my age. Ahead, items for everyone and every budget.
