What are some nursing home gift ideas to give to the elderly?

Q. I love to help out at the nursing homes and I was wondering if anyone knew some ideal gifts or entertainment to give to the elderly?

A. That is great that you help those in nursing homes! I'm sure they appreciate you!

Here are a few gift ideas:

Stationery, note cards, note books, assorted greeting cards, writing supplies, postage stamps, address book, magnifying glass..
Magazines, books or puzzle/word search books in large print size..
Grooming aids such as brushes or combs, nice smelling shampoos and hair conditioners, lip balms, moisturizers, hand lotions, powder, etc.
Fleece blanket throws for the colder months.
Paint-by-number art sets.
Large size/small count jigsaw puzzles.
Blank page drawing books and markers or color pens/pencils.


what can you give to and older person who is bored because of injury and having to stay home all day?
Q. what would be some good gift ideas? i mean something that relieves boredom? she`s in her 70s.
thanks.

A. All elderly gals love movies right!? Ask her what her favorite actor/actress is and what her favorite movie and/or series is. Than you can go buy the DVD (Im sure its on DVD/Blueray by now) and a big box of popcorn. Usually the big boxes have about 6 to 12 bags in them. Than cook it up and watch the movie with her. This is just a suggestion. Im 23 and I know that this is something I would love someone to do for me, especially if I were an older women with nothing to do. Thats the only decent idea I can come up with. Another idea is you can buy her some magazines and/or books. Make sure if you buy her a magazine and/or book that you buy one for yourself to so you can do it with her. To spend some time with her.


Christmas gift ideas for an elderly neighbor?
Q. We usually give our neighbor who is older a little Christmas gift each year. I'm out of ideas this year. She is active and apparently not hurting financially. Do you have any good ideas?

A. A plant for her house or garden. A planted poinsettia perhaps.

Some home made treats from your kitchen unless she's on a restricted diet.

Maybe some special teas.


Do you have a gift idea for an elderly, partially blind grandma?
Q. I love my grandma and she has recently lost all her sight in one eye and only has about half her sight in the other. It's something she isn't used to. Last year I got her a book light/magnifying combo system and some large print books so she would be able to read. Anyone have any ideas for this year? If there's anything you know of that would make this easier on her, that would be wonderful. Thanks.

A. If she likes literature get her some 'Talking Books' that will tell her the stories so she doesn't need all the paraphernalia.
