Gifting an Elderly

Elderly people enjoy gifts only if they can really make use of them.

So it is necessary to know their likes and dislikes, habits and to some extent their unfulfilled wishes.

It may not be possible to do exactly what the elders may enjoy, but it is easy to find out through normal conversations about what they would love to have or do.

Here are a few ideas of what elders may love to have:

1. Phones that have magnified letters and numbers and display on screen.

2. Games they enjoy.

3. Subscription for regular massage

4. Ticket to a concerts or events they love

5. Coupons to eat out

6. Gift vouchers to buy whatever they want

7. Book/DVD/Audio books of their choice

These are a few ways to show your love to your elders and make them feel how much you care.  They would also let you know of their experience which will be mutually satisfying.  You can choose gifts that can create long term memories and can really make their life a bit easier and happier.

One of the ways to show that you care is to choose gifts that really convey that you care.  It is as simple as that.  Otherwise gifting will remain just a ritual or routine.
