Holiday Gifts for Coastal Georgia Senior Citizens
Holiday Gift Ideas for Savannah Senior Citizens
A List for Active Seniors or Seniors in Assisted Living or Senior Communities
We have compiled a list of gifts most often requested by Savannah senior citizens. While these gift ideas are appropriate for all seniors, they are particularly desired by seniors in Coastal Georgia assisted living facilities.
Tablet Computer. These handy devices are the most requested gift by seniors in Coastal Empire assisted living facilities. They are also useful for active seniors. The most popular brands are the iPad and Amazon’s Kindle Fire. If cost is an issue, the Kindle Fire is the way to go. Starting at around $50, the device allows Savannah senior citizens to watch movies, read books, take photos and video, and check e-mail. Savannah seniors love to get personal messages.
Coastal Empire Seniors Tip: Once their tablet is up and running, send them regular e-mails and photos. They will really appreciate keeping in touch with you.
Calendar. We all like to have events to look forward to. This is especially true for Savannah senior citizens. Choose a theme they will like – A Classic Cartoon Strip, Funny Cats, Trivia.
A calendar can help Savannah seniors remember doctor’s appointments, holiday plans, and spa appointments.
It may seem simple, but seniors take honoring appointments seriously.
Coastal Empire Seniors Tip: Make the gift of a calendar extra special by filling out some dates that you will come by for a visit, take them to lunch, or call them to check in.
Special Foods or Gift Basket. Do they miss a gourmet food or regional dish? Bring it in for them. Do they have favorite fruits or snacks they can’t get easily – make a basket. Pomegranates, kiwis, pistachios, figs, dates.
Is the senior on your list living on a budget?
What are some favorites they probably don’t get to splurge on? Godiva chocolate? Shiner Beer? Ribeye steaks?
Coastal Empire Seniors Tip: If they are in a Savannah area assisted living facility, ask the Activities Director or social worker if they can help you get kitchen privileges. Then make a special dish that has important memories with them. Then you’re not just sharing a food that holds special memories, you are also creating a new memory.
Senior Fitness Items: Fitness is important for our health, both physical and mental. There are lots of appropriate gifts that will give seniors the opportunity to exercise. Light weights or excercise bands can be used independently while watching TV or talking with friends.
For active Savannah seniors, sessions with a trainer can help them come up with a customized workout schedule for their goals and abilities.
Coastal Empire Seniors Tip: Most seniors can participate in water aerobics – sign them up for classes. Water aerobics is a great low impact fitness activity for seniors. It is also an opportunity to get out and try something new – and a place to make new friends.
Wireless Headphones: There are lots of good reasons to use wireless headphones, particularly those that can work with a TV. For couples, when one likes to stay up and watch TV while the other sleeps, wireless headphones can be a life saver. In a group environment, if you have hearing issues you probably like the TV louder than everyone else. With wireless headphones, they can keep the volume at a “normal” level while you enjoy the audio at a level that is ideal for you.
Coastal Empire Seniors Tip: Help them setup the headphones with their TV, phone, and tablet to ensure they get the most out of your wonderful gift.
