After years of hard work, retirees are in a new phase of life — one that allows them to slow down and enjoy what life has to offer. And when the holidays roll around, the right gift can add to their enjoyment whether it’s useful or just plain fun.

If you’re stumped on what to gift your favorite retirees this year, here are some hand-picked options under $50 from Target.

Folding Garden Stool With Pocket Bag and Tools

  • Price: $41.99 (normally $48.99)

This gardening set is a perfect gift for retirees who love working with plants. The stool includes a sturdy steel frame, which holds up to 250 pounds and makes gardening more comfortable. It also has built-in handles for carrying and folds easily when not in use. Additionally, the spacious, detachable storage bag keeps tools organized and includes an 11.5-inch weeder, 10-inch fork and an 11.5-inch trowel, cultivator and transplanter.

Retired Mug

  • Price: $16.95

There’s no better reminder that a retiree has finally reached what they’ve been working for all these years than a coffee mug that says so. This 12-ounce ceramic stoneware coffee mug in two-toned black-and-white ombre (or pink and white) delivers the hopeful message “Retired — The Best Is Yet To Come.” The mug also comes in protective packaging, which means one less task when wrapping your gift.

Golf Practice Putting Mat

  • Price: $49.99

For retirees who want to keep their golf game sharp year-round, the SKLZ Accelerator Pro Golf Practice Putting Mat is an easy way to bring practice indoors. This 9-foot green has a true-roll surface that mimics an actual golf course and includes an upslope at the cup. Marked guides at 3, 5 and 7 feet help square the face, control backswing and follow through smoothly. Plus, the mat’s continuous ball return means they won’t have to waste time retrieving the ball after each putt.

Sensory Immersion Gift Set

  • Price: $19.99

Retirees also need stress relief and the Sensory Immersion Gift Set is made for just that. This boxed set includes an everyday diffuser that’s designed to add fragrance to smaller spaces like a car or closet without being overpowering. Additionally, the grounding stone pairs scent with a calming, hands-on fidgeting experience, which is perfect for unwinding. The set also comes with two essential oil blends — Crisp Mountain Air for energy and Citrus Grove for joy — neither of which contain parabens, phthalates, dyes or formaldehyde. 

Gift Cards

  • Price: $5 to $50

If you’re not sure what the retirees in your life would like, consider giving them gift cards. A Target gift card is a safe bet if you know the retiree shops there. For those who enjoy eating out, restaurant gift cards for places like Outback Steakhouse, The Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden or Chili’s are good options. If you’re unsure of their preference, gift a Darden Restaurant Card that offers the user flexibility to choose a restaurant, including Cheddar’s, Longhorn Steakhouse and Bahama Breeze. Retail gift cards might also be great choices, including Joann Fabric and Craft Stores, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Home Depot and Nordstrom.
