As Mother’s Day is upon us once again, you may be racking your brains for the perfect gift for Mom this year. A gift doesn’t have to be expensive or extravagant in order to be thoughtful – after all, you know your mom best, so you will know what she likes! In this article, we share with you some Mother’s Day gifts for seniors that your mom is sure to appreciate.
A Monthly Subscription
Ask yourself: What does your mom love? If she loves reading but is finding it harder to do so due to declining eyesight, how about an Amazon Audible subscription? That way, she can still continue reading her favorite books without any problem. Or if your mom is a fan of tea, how about a box of assorted teas delivered to her doorstep every month?
A Tablet
If your mom is living in an assisted living community and finds it hard to keep in touch often, a tablet can give her the gift of connectivity. Most older adults, especially those who are new to technology, may find using a phone hard due to the small screen. With a tablet, your mom can reap all the benefits of owning a phone but with a larger screen.
To get the tablet ready for use, download several apps you think your mom will enjoy, including Skype and/or Zoom. That way, you are all ready to video call her as and when she has some free time!
A Digital Photo Frame
Photos always make great gifts because it shows that you have taken the time to include your mom in your family life. However, to display more than one photo at once will require a large amount of wall or countertop space. With a digital photo frame, you can have the best of both worlds. You may wish to download recent photos of your family, including your kids, and present the digital photo frame to your mom as a gift. With the images changing regularly, she can always have something nice to look at in her room!
A Day Out
If you are at a loss what to give your mom, you can never go wrong with a day out. Consider the activities your mom most enjoys doing and make a day out of it, no matter what that looks like. A trip to the spa? Sipping tea in a café? It’s all up to you (and her)!
