Senior Gifts for Christmas

Here are ten unique and interesting gifts for seniors that they will truly appreciate!

1. I would be remiss not to mention a MagicKitchen.com meal or gift certificate. For many seniors who don’t feel like cooking anymore, the meals are a real treat!

2. A large monitor for their computer- http://www.newegg.com/Large-Format-Displays/SubCategory/ID-633 – many seniors find it harder and harder to see print on a screen, this might be just what they need!

3. A Full spectrum lamp is like having sunlight indoors. It may reduce eyestrain, fatigue and headaches caused by other lighting.  http://www.firststreetonline.com/Home+Solutions/Lighting/Balanced+Spectrum+Floor+Lamp.axd

4. If your grandparents don’t have a smartphone yet, and you can afford one, it would be a great gift! Teach them how to use it and they can communicate with you (assuming that’s a good thing), and with other family members on the go!

5.  Is your favorite senior a movie buff? how about an Indie Movie of the Month membership? http://www.gifts.com/search/product/film-movement-dvd-of-the-month-club-6-month-subscription?gid=14537&prodID=357869

6. A jigsaw lover will adore this 3000 piece world map puzzle. http://www.amazon.com/Heye-29275-World-Jigsaw-Puzzle/dp/B001KOTDLC

7. Quality time- if your senior friend or relative lives alone, he or she may enjoy a night in with you. Bring a movie, or just chat!

8. If the person has a disability, like poor vision, arthritis or mobility, visit enablemart.com for lost of ideas on how to help.

9. I’m not quite a senior yet, but my night-vision is definitely not as good as it was. These night driving glasses that you wear over your prescription glasses improve night vision.

10. A baseball fanatic will really get a kick out of a bottle opener made  out of a bat used at a real MLB pro baseball game!
