Books / Novels
With so much happening in ours, there’s never been a more perfect time to get lost in another world. Send your loved one a physical copy of a tale from their favorite author, or refer them to an E-book about a topic they might have an interest in. As beneficial to the mind as it is the soul, reading is proven to help sharpen mental acuity – making it the perfect gift for any senior seeking adventure.
A Personalized Card / Letter
Reflect on what it is that you love most about the senior in your life. Is it their smile? Their wit? How comfortable you feel when you’re with them? Whatever it is about your loved one that brightens your days, use your voice to put those feelings onto paper and let them know just how much they mean to you.
When it comes to gift giving, it doesn’t matter how large or small the gesture is – only that it’s coming from you. When your loved one sees your name written on an envelope, stickered onto a box, or signed at the end of a note, they’ll simply be reminded of the joy that you bring into their lives, and how easy it is to have those same feelings about you.
Happy Holidays from our family to yours!
