Sentimental Gifts
Remember gifts for elderly do not have to be expensive to be appreciated. Sentimental gifts such as photographs or hand made crafts and cards by the children are always cherished.
While the possibilities are endless, one primary way to make sure a grandparent feels special on a holiday is to simply call them! A phone call from a beloved family members means the world to them, especially those who live far away and cannot see their kids or grandkids much. For those who live close a visit would be even more special, especially for those who may live alone or in senior living communities.
