Buy Gifts for Older People in the Family
Buying Christmas gifts and Birthday presents for old people in the family can be very difficult. Many old people don't have a lot of money but they don't want anything for presents either.
You can't really buy fashionable clothes but you could buy something warm and cosy like a woolly jumper or cardigan.
You could buy jigsaw puzzles. Some old fashioned games are now back in the shops and many don't need a lot of energy. Puzzles and games keep their mind stimulated, a Sudoku puzzle will keep their brain active. Try things like Quoits or even darts.

A new TV might go down well if their old on is on the blink or maybe a CD or DVD player so that you can lend them DVDs and CDs rather than having to copy things to tape, VHS or even Betamax video!
Just take them out for a special meal or maybe away for the night in a different town or city that they are interested in.
Give them vouchers for coach travel. Some coach or bus companies sell vouchers that can be spent on day trips. Often these are not too expensive and many people will feel it is a treat that they can do several times in a year. For example a bus trip to Brighton or Portsmouth for the day. Old people love eating fish and chips on the seafront - it's where they spent their summer holidays.
Security is very important to old people. If they are worried for their safety then perhaps the perfect gift may be a mobile phone, security lock or emergency cord.
Buy plants from the garden centre. If they don't have a garden you could maybe set them up a window box.
