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.

- Price: $21.48

Mix with a carrier oil to apply to skin or use with an essential oil diffuser to create a spa-like vibe in the home.
Style Selections Gardening Gloves

Many retirees enjoy gardening as a hobby to help keep them busy and fit. If this describes someone on your list, consider these Style Selection gardening gloves made from soft, supple yet strong leather and polyester. Lowe’s reviewers gave these gloves an average of 4.1 stars, with one reviewer saying they held up against thorny rosebushes and a playful puppy.

- Price: $49.99
The Ring Video Doorbell has been a seasonal bestseller for several years running. Give the seniors in your life the gift of security with this motion-activated, smart Wi-Fi doorbell camera. It’s hard-wired setup means they don’t have to worry about batteries dying. The Ring has night vision, two-way talk capabilities and an easy-to-use app.

Yankee Candle Balsam and Cedar Green Candle
- Price: $19.98
When you’re choosing gifts for retirees, consumables like candles are often appreciated. The Yankee Candle Company Two-Wick Balsam and Cedar Green Jar Candle will fill your loved one’s home with the scents of the season, even if they don’t have a real Christmas tree. It earned 4.7 stars from reviewers on the Lowe’s website. One reviewer wrote, “Love this scent! Great candle and love the color and smell.”
West Bend Popcorn Machine
- Price: $23.74
Give movie night a retro twist with this West Bend Hot Air Popcorn Machine. Air-popped popcorn is healthier than the microwave variety or popcorn cooked in oil. It’s sure to bring back the tastes of childhood for many retirees. The longer butter tray helps butter melt more evenly. The no-tangle, onboard cord storage also makes it easy to tuck the appliance away neatly in a cabinet when not in use.
