Gift Ideas for Elderly Relatives
Budget of £10 – £20
- Games – A favourite board-game, card-game or other fun pastime are gift ideas for elderly relatives. Your relative can teach the whole family how to play on Christmas Day.
- Careline Monthly Plan – This is a great gift option if you think you’re relative would like to try out a Careline alarm. This way they aren’t tied into a yearly plan, but can continue to use it if they decide it’s right for them.
- Audio-books – Reading is a great hobby to have, but your elderly relative may struggle to read small print or even manage to hold a heavy book. Why not replace some of their favourites with an audio-book version? Help them with the set-up and they can listen to their favourite books for hours!
Budget of £20 – £50
- A new mobile phone – you can buy a Doro PhoneEasy from around £35 here. They are actually designed for more senior users with ease and simplicity in mind. Read about more gadget ideas in our post; ‘7 Gadgets For Old People’
