Best gifts for midlife women

I don’t know about you, but I never shop for the holidays very far in advance.

Usually I get the kids taken care of a couple of weeks before Christmas, and then I’m scrambling the week of to shop for extended family and friends.

It’s honestly so much harder to shop for other adults than it is to shop for children.

And with so many options out there between online shops and bricks-and-mortar stores, it is totally overwhelming.

But this year, I’ve done some of the work for you!

Here are some fantastic gifts to consider for the midlife women in your circle:

Stitch Fix Gift Card (price varies)

Stitch Fix has been around for a while now, and the service continues to improve on its concept.

The company takes each customer’s personal fit and style profile and uses it to send a customized box of five fashion items which may include clothes, shoes and accessories depending on the customer’s preferences.

It’s a fantastic concept that actually works.

If you have a friend that’s been interested for some time, but has yet to bite the bullet, buy her a gift card to get her started.

Class Pass Membership (price varies)

Class Pass allows members to attend fitness classes at thousands of gyms across the country, including everything from yoga to kickboxing and barre.

The memberships are geographically driven, though you are not limited to attending classes near where you live.

Prices vary across the country, but in the New York Metro Area monthly plans start at $75.

Though gift cards aren’t currently available (they will be soon), you can sign up a friend, pay for the membership and provide them with the login details for the account.

Class Pass requires no commitment and can be cancelled any time without fees, which gives it a bit of an edge over traditional gym memberships.
