Holiday shopping for the retirees in your life can be a challenge. By the time most people have reached retirement age, they’ve accrued all the home décor, gadgets and small appliances they need. Maybe they’ve downsized their home and are trying to embrace a minimalist lifestyle.

The best gifts for retirees are practical, unique and will bring a smile to their face as they think of you — their favorite friend or relative — when they use your thoughtful gift. With these parameters in mind, we rounded up some of the best gifts under $50 for retirees.

Lowe’s may be one of the largest home improvement stores, but the retailer also carries budget-friendly gifts and handy home items for retirees.
