Gifts for Senior Citizens: Ideas from Comfort Keepers of Toronto®

Toronto Senior Health  |  December 14, 2016

It is that time of year again. Present time! With Christmas and Chanukah, December is the  season of giving. Whether it is small gifts over seven nights or one day full of present exchanging, many of us are searching for the perfect gift for that special loved one.  Often several special loved ones.

Finding Great Gifts For Seniors Isn’t Always Easy

There are some people who are more difficult to buy for than others. Sometimes people are picky, sometimes people already “have everything”, or sometimes you simply don’t know what to get and they aren’t giving you any suggestions.

Shopping for seniors who often have everything—or who are working on downsizing— can particularly difficult. Don’t worry.  There are plenty of holiday gifts that take up little or no space, yet are big on uplifting a senior’s spirits.

Gifts For Senior Citizens Who Have Everything

Comfort Keeper’s of Canada® has put together a list of gift ideas that are sure to make your gift giving experience a little bit easier. Here are our top five gift giving ideas:

Quality Time with Senior Loved Ones

• Give a ticket to a concert, sporting event, museum, zoo or other venue that is important to your loved one. The gift to your loved one will also include a ticket for yourself and others who want to join in on the special outing.

Shopping and Dining with Senior Loved Ones

• How about a gift before the holiday? That could be taking your loved one out for dinner and a holiday shopping trip to relieve the stress of navigating the seasonal crowds and trying to decide what to buy.

Food Is Always A Great Gift Idea for Seniors

• Baskets of favorite nonperishable foods, teas and coffees, along with lap robes or blankets can also be nice gifts to help your loved one during the cold winter months.

Technology for Seniors to Keep in Touch

• If you live away from your loved one, you can help shrink the distance with a gift of technology – such as a computer with a microphone and webcam that can enable you to stay in touch throughout the year.

Peace Of Mind for Toronto Senior Caregivers

• Another idea to give yourself peace-of-mind and allow your loved one to continue living comfortably, safely and independently at home is the  Comfort Keepers^®’ SafetyChoice^®line of technology solutions, such as the 24-hour Personal Emergency Response System.

Comfort Keepers^®’ trained caregivers help provide senior clients with the highest quality of life possible to keep them happy and healthy at home. Our Interactive Caregiving™ provides a system of care that addresses safety, nutrition, mind, body, and activities of daily living (ADLs).
