Sisterhood is something we as women get to enjoy at any given age, from the slumber parties of our youth to the book clubs and work bonds we share later on in life. Isn't it fabulous being a girl? The ladies in one of my private Facebook groups for women over 50 think so. They've made the community a warm and welcoming place where women can celebrate looking great, feeling phenomenal and living their best lives.

And these gals do not gatekeep the products that help them get there. Quite the contrary, in fact. The group is a gold mine of advice and product recommendations, mostly from their collective favorite online retailer: QVC. A lot of women, for instance, proudly post photos of themselves glowing in outfits they're obsessed with by beloved brands like Susan Graver and Kim Gravel (if you know, you know). Others drop the kitchen game-changers they couldn't (or wouldn't want to) live without, including leak-proof food storage containers and a genius bottle-and-jar opener that'll let your husband off the hook at last.
Oh, and here's an insider tip: If you're new to QVC you can score an extra $20 off your first order of $40 or more with code WELCOME20. And if you don't want to pay it all in one go, take advantage of QVC's Easy Pay offer and have your items ship right away, while you pay for them in monthly installments.
Is your curiosity piqued? Of course, it is! As a little act of sisterly goodwill, I've assembled a cheat sheet of the 10 most popular QVC items with women over 50. Keep scrolling to get the intel and shop these products, some of which are on sale right now. I have no doubt you'll be recommending them to your friends in no time.
One woman in my Facebook group confessed that Kim Gravel's clothes are her weakness. And pretty much everyone else echoed that sentiment, with one claiming the designer dominates her wardrobe and another suggesting it should be illegal to own as much Kim Gravel as she does.
The QVC star is known for her hilarious on-air personality as well as her fun prints, which are captured beautifully in this billowy poncho. It's similar to one posted by a group member who was so flooded with comments asking her for the product name that once she posted it, it almost sold out! This one, emblazoned with palm trees and giraffes, suits all seasons and gives you that glamorous feeling of being on an island vacation. You can shop the full Belle by Kim Gravel line here.
This Kuhn Rikon jar and bottle opener is an MVP in the kitchen, especially for women having trouble opening containers due to afflictions like arthritis and tendinitis. Some users are saying they simply can't do without it. And several women say they've had theirs for years,
The tool is a five-in-one, opening jars, bottles, pull tabs, standard twist tops and small twist tops. The struggle is real and this is the gadget that's making it easier. Plus, it comes in a bunch of fun colors like turquoise, red and tangerine.
Skechers are all the rage over in my Facebook group. For every member asking for comfortable walking shoe recommendations, countless women are chiming in with "Skechers Slip-Ins."
They're talking about the brand's brilliant line of slip-on shoes, like these new Skechers Slip-ins GoWalk sneakers, which come in five colors. They're made with an all-vegan breathable knit that makes them machine-washable and the sole is fitted with extra cushioning. Take that as your cue to walk all day in these.
LocknLock food storage containers are so beloved by the ladies in this group that one devotee has 250 pieces and she refuses to part with any of them. And she has them in all the colors, which is another fun part of LocknLock sets.
This set of 10 containers with multi-colored lids are BPA-free and leak-proof — the lids lock into place. They are also dishwasher-, freezer-, refrigerator- and microwave-safe. And because they nest, you can store them without taking up a lot of space.
Recently, someone posted seeking jeans recommendations to hide "meno belly." The ladies came in droves to drop their favorite brands and one of the most popular was NYDJ (Not Your Daughter's Jeans).
The brand's slim ankle jeans are a great example of sleek denim with the ability to suck you in where it matters most thanks to Lift Tuck technology. It's mostly cotton, with just one percent elastic, which means it's not going to stretch out on you. One 55-year-old group member called the 50s her best decade yet and paired her NYDJ jeans with wedge sandals. The look was inspiringly gorgeous.
To say that Susan Graver's clothing is changing lives would not be an exaggeration. Her QVC line is a lifeline for so many women, especially those rebuilding their self-esteem. One 50+ fan got candid about recovering from a serious illness and wondering if she'd ever feel beautiful again. The fit and look of Susan Graver's popular Liquid Knit pieces, like the printed cardigan shown here, were the motivation she needed to do her hair and makeup again and feel like herself again.
Liquid Knit is a soft, figure-flattering fabric that skims curves without clinging. This buttonless cardigan can be thrown over any neutral out to add some happy pizzazz.
Women over 50 in the group are wild about Lug bags. One user even called herself a Lug nut. These lightweight, waterproof purses come in lots of different styles and a range of colors and patterns. They're kind of a status symbol among QVC lovers.
One member treated herself to a Lug shoulder bag in a vibrant floral pattern. She said she was treasuring her little indulgence and taking it everywhere with her. It can also be worn as a crossbody, and like all of Lug's best-sellers, it has a bunch of secure compartments to help you stay organized. The bag has an anti-theft feature, too: RFID-blocking technology, which helps prevent your credit cards from getting skimmed.
I found compliments galore from women declaring their love for Josie Maran Argan Milk, a natural skincare collection that's rich in fatty acids and keeps your skin supple and hydrated.
Women are so in love, in fact, that they're declaring this skincare line their desert island pick, one they won't live without. One 60-year-old with the most glowing, line-free skin says she has Josie Maran products to thank for her youthful look. This set includes one full-size bottle and one purse-sized bottle.
UltraFine earrings are so dazzling, that women in this Facebook group are outright, unapologetically obsessed. They call the UltraFine silver — a tarnish-free, nickel-free metal — superior to regular silver. Another woman said her jeweler mistook them for white gold at a glance.
This set of small UltraFine hoops at QVC is classic. These are the everyday pair you'll reach for that goes with anything.
Temp-tations bakeware was created by Tara Tesher to bridge the gap between highly functioning bakeware and antique collectibles. The handpainted pieces look antique — and lots of QVC shoppers love to collect them and use them for serving. This 9" x 13" baking dish is a top-rated piece and just waiting to be graced with a Sunday roast. Its high sides make it perfect for dishes like lasagna too.
One woman in my Facebook group showed her whole spread of Temp-tations dishes and bowls. A fellow commenter chimed in that she's been collecting the pretty pieces for years.
