Top Holiday Gifts for Seniors
2

• When shopping for the senior citizens on your
  holiday list, your immediate thought may be that
  by the time a person reaches that age, they
  probably have everything. What could they
  possibly need or want?! But, if you stop to
  think, there are many gifts that would brighten
  the holiday season for your parent, grandparent,
  mentor or friend.

What is their passion?

• Does your mom adore chocolate or fine wines? Do
  you still find your grandfather puttering on his
  balcony garden? Maybe the senior on your list has
  a lifelong love of classical music or opera. Or
  perhaps, you are shopping for an avid reader.
  There are plenty of gift options that will
  delight the senior on your list
• Custom gift baskets geared toward their interests
• Plants and gardening equipment
• Gift cards to a concert hall, favorite
  restaurant, pet store or bookstore
• A night out to play or concert- provide the
  tickets and the company- keep this gift in mind
  especially for caregivers. Many seniors are
  caregivers to an ailing spouse or sibling.
• A weekend getaway- perhaps a scenic ride to the
  lake, a winery or antiquing

Technology gifts

• Many seniors do keep up on technological
  advances but are not as likely to purchase the
  latest IPhone. Here are a few suggestions
• An updated cell phone- there are also cell phones
  designed for seniors with larger keyboards and
  dial pads for those visually impaired or have
  arthritic issues
• An E-Reader, IPad or another tablet
• Headphones for television viewing or traveling-
  especially a wonderful gift for someone with
  impaired hearing
• A digital radio with remote control
• A flat screen television

5
Sentimental gifts

• Okay, it may be true, many seniors are very
  sentimental, (especially women), but enough of
  your kids school pictures! Try for something a
  bit more original or encompassing than another
  framed portrait
• A digital photo frame loaded with all the kids
  and grandkids or maybe treasured travel photos as
  well
• A scrapbook of events and picture of their life
• A throw or pillow with memorable photos- you can
  get creative at places like Zazzle or Cafépress

Practical Gifts

• If there are things the seniors in your life
  need, dont be afraid to consider those as an
  option as well. A few suggestions might be
• Clothing- Coats, sweaters or pajamas
• Bath towels-white high-quality towels are always
  a great gift
• Therapeutic products- such as footbaths or
  massagers
• Mobility products-canes or reaching devices
• A gift card to a grocery delivery service-
  especially useful in the winter
• Of course, you can also ask the senior on your
  list for a suggestion, but dont pay attention to
  the, I dont need anything Dear, reply. They
  will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Happy
  shopping!
