The holidays are here again! No matter what you celebrate, there are probably some gifts involved. Buying for kids is fun, buying for teenagers is tough and buying for some adults – especially older adults – gets harder. As our parents and grandparents get older there is very little they need, want or have room for.
Here are a few practical gifts ideas from your friends at LA Medical.
Stamps may not be the gift that you dream about, but for many older people on fixed incomes and those who have trouble getting around, stamp and stationary can be great gifts. Many older people still send bills through the mail and send cards and letters instead of emails and Facebook posts. Stamps are not cheap and are always appreciated.
Gift cards for a local restaurants and drug stores are always good too. The cost of living is always going up and often more than a person’s Social Security. The price of food, prescription and medications seem to go up every day and often tighten the budget on other things that an older person may need. A gift card for a favorite eatery is a great reason for an older person to enjoy a night out that they might otherwise not spend the money on.
LA Medical carries many items in our online catalog that would also make great gifts. Something small like a reacher can be used in the home to help a person reach something without needing to stretch or bend over. A new heating pad is a thoughtful and practical gift for someone suffering from arthritis, sprains, neck pain or headaches.
