When it comes to your loved one reaching their golden years gift ideas can become more difficult to think of. You want it to be sentimental and make them realize just how much you love them and how grateful you are for them. At Caring Hearts, we understand this struggle and have put together a few gift ideas that we think might be perfect for them.

The first one is a light-touch massage and reflexology. This is a great gift for seniors that have sensitive thin skin. The gentle-touch massage can reduce the pain, stiffness, and muscle tension of arthritis, joint injury, and slowed circulation. Reflexology or zone therapy applies thumbs, finger, and head pressure to points on a person’s hands and feet that coordinate with a system of zones in the body.

The next one is a memory book, this can be a journal or a do it yourself memoir book. This helps seniors record handwritten remembrances for younger members of the family. These create special opportunities to pass along stories and words of wisdom. The notebooks include space for questions such as “who was your best childhood friend?”

Lastly, gift vouchers. Snoop around a little bit and figure out who their hair dresser is, their veterinarian, pharmacy, or grocery store. These prepaid cards will go a long way for your loved one.

Remember it is the little things that most seniors enjoy as a gift. Just because it is coming from you they will love it.
