Promising review: “I bought this as a gift for my 67 year old mother a couple months ago. She has been using it faithfully and loves it. She looks young for her age already but she is always looking for things that she can do to keep herself looking younger. She was so impressed that I ended up buying one for myself. I’ve used it once and I really like it as well. My face feels tighter after one use. It’s easy to use and I haven’t had any issues with pain or discomfort.”


Best Home Gifts for Women Over 50

Roborock S6 MaxV

Roborock vacuums
Roborock

Buy at Amazon, $599.99, (originally $749.99)
Save $150

Why we like it:

  • ReactiveAI powered by twin cameras
  • App and voice control
  • 25% More Suction and Genius Level Mopping

Whether this is your first robot vacuum or one of many, the Roborock S6 MaxV will be your last. It has all the bells and whistles you’d want in a robot vacuum, from smart mapping and mopping to app and voice control, but its power makes it stand apart from the competitors with 25 percent more suction. After just a few runs, the robot learns your home and recognizes rooms, allowing it to work quickly and avoid constant obstacles like tables and furniture. A high-capacity water tank hold enough water to last several runs, and can be programmed to release more — or less — water, depending on the floor and mess.

Promising review: This was my first robot vacuum and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I watched all the YouTube reviews on the S6 MaxV (and previous Roborock robots as well as their competitors and this seemed like the obvious choice. Roborock S6 MaxV exceeded my expectations. I’ve been running it daily on my mix of hardwood, tight pile rugs, and medium pile carpet. It manages to pull a surprisingly large pile of dirt each time I run it. It efficiently finds its way around and gets itself unstuck almost all times it encounters a problem. The AI vision works well on those things its been trained on like lamp pedestals, shoes, and cables. I’ve added a few no-go zones to keep it away from problem places (like a low angle table leg that rises slowly from the carpet to a height that would get the robot suspended). I’ve used the mopping function a couple times and it does well at picking up light spills and dust. Heavier, sticky materials were a challenge, but I pre-treated those with a squirt of hardwood floor cleaner and let it sit a few minutes until the robot got to it and they were cleaned perfectly.

Buy at Walmart, $129

Why we like it:

  • Exceptional sound quality
  • Available in black, blue, white and yellow
  • 8 hours of battery life

You can’t go wrong with the Bose SoundLink Portable Bluetooth Speaker as a gift. It’s intuitive to use and very simple to pair with any Bluetooth device, and the sound quality is exceptional. It’s portable, so you can always move it around the house, and it’s also water resistant, so you can take it outdoors. The design is simple and elegant, and the speaker is compact while also delivering exceptional sound quality. Plus, the battery lasts for 8 hours.  

Promising review: “With a name like Bose, I expected excellent sound, but this ridiculously good! The speaker is a bit bigger than my hand and has a rubbery (soft) feeling to it. It is chargeable, so you can grab it and put it in any location while in use. It pairs easier than anything to my phone’s Bluetooth. Music sounds like it is coming through a complete sound system all from one box. It is a clear quality sound with the deep bass that is needed to make music really sound complete. The sound fills up an entire room and only sounds better with higher volume. I 100%, hands-down, love this speaker.”
