The holidays are quickly approaching, and everyone is trying to get their holiday shopping done. It can be hard to think of what to get your senior loved ones for the holidays. What do you buy for the person who probably has everything? Here are some great gift ideas for seniors:
- An oversized, soft throw to keep them warm and cozy.
- A basket of puzzle books, pens and pencils
- Create a photo album with memories of the past year.
- Send them flowers or balloons, who doesn’t love a special delivery.
- A new robe and slippers
- A large button remote control
- A basket of favorite sweet treats
- A dinner invitation to their favorite restaurant
- Gift a DNA ancestry test and help to send it in.
Truth be told, nine times out of ten, what they really want most is time. They want time to visit with their family and friends in person. They want the companionship, stories, laughter and love that you can only get from spending time together.
This holiday season, remember it’s not about the money spent, it is really about time. Be generous with the seniors who hold a piece of your heart with your time. It is the perfect gift as it always fits and it’s at the top of their list.
