Traditions Senior Moves & Downsizing-Austin Texas

Stuck on what to get the older adult family member? Finding gifts for the senior on your list can be a challenge. Sometimes, they’re just too particular or they already “have it all”.  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The other links that aren’t amazon are b/c they’re fantastic products and need to be known!

Here are five great ideas that will make the older adult in your life feel special and cared for, without breaking the budget. 

1. Anything online OR subscription based that would make life easier. Did you see in Netflix’s Man on the Inside where Ted Danson kept making the “club” jokes….being in the Peanut Butter club, The Jam Club….you get it. 🤣 It may feel a little cheesy, but go ahead and sign them up for the Cheese Club. It’s nice to have things to look forward to! This also includes an Audible subscription to listen to books, Amazon Autos to buy cars and avoid an in person haggle, purchasing food delivered to their door–whether it’s the local Kroger, HEB, etc or Amazon food deliveries. The convenience of receiving a thoughtful, curated gift every month can brighten any senior’s day.
2. Soft & fuzzies that includes: fuzzy socks (with a grip), blankets (nothing too heavy that they’re not able to lift off easily!), these fantastic house slippers or this warm delightful heating pad.
3. Smart Home Devices Technology is making life easier for seniors, and a smart home device could be the perfect gift. Have y’all seen the Jubilee TV set up for seniors. WOW! Consider gifting an easy-to-use voice assistant like an Amazon Echo or Google Home, which can help with everything from setting reminders for medication to playing favorite music or answering questions. I’ve heard positive feedback from clients and former clients about this clock that can help with vision impaired or if your loved one is struggling with any memory loss.. A smart thermostat or something a little more simple with this digital frame.
4. Touch Lamps are something that’s so simple, but is such a thoughtful gift! And, it can work for all age groups! It really can also be great options for seniors looking to control their environment with ease. Plus, these products can promote safety by giving them greater control over their home’s settings. check out the ones linked below!
5. MixTiles: are a really cool peel and stick option for family photos.
