Hit the Road

• Many women in their 50s have extra time on their hands or have vacation time accrued so they can take advantage of a three to seven-day vacation gift. Vacation gifts are especially popular and desirable for women who have a fancy for travel. A gift to stay at a bed and breakfast in a part of the world she loves to visit is good. Don't forget about gifting airline miles or frequent flier points to help a lovely woman have a trip to enjoy.
