It can be hard to think of the right gifts for our older loved ones. They’ve given so much of themselves, so we want to show them how much we care about them.
Our team at Somerby Peachtree City Senior Living has compiled some gift ideas for you to hopefully inspire you:
- Something for their favorite hobby
- Comfy clothes
- Digital picture frames
- An online subscription
- A spa day
- A day out with you
Something for Their Favorite Hobby
Sometimes, one of the easiest ways to show your love and support for someone is by giving them something related to their favorite hobby. If they love gardening, get them a nice set of gloves or a new tool. For painters, a quality easel or new brushes can go a long way. Get the knitter in your life a new set of needles or yarn in their favorite color.
Think about what your loved one likes to do in their spare time, and start there. By choosing something related to their interest, you’re both encouraging their passion and showing that you pay attention and understand them—and that’s an incredible gift to give.
Comfy Clothes
Who doesn’t love a fuzzy pair of slippers?
Treat your family member to a lovely new sweater with a beautiful pattern or a comical pair of fuzzy socks. Reach for:
- Soft fabrics
- Easy-to-open latches and buttons
- Universal designs for any occasional
Comfort items always make fantastic gifts!
Digital Picture Frames
Finding space for dozens of photo frames in our later years can be difficult. But digital picture frames can house all those beloved memories in a compact space while bringing a touch of nostalgia, warmth, and happiness into their home.
You can even take photos of friends, family, and loved ones and fill the frame with surprising new pictures. It’s a thoughtful gift that’s ideal for any home.
An Online Subscription
In our digital age, an online subscription can be a fantastic way to access the entire world at our fingertips.
If your loved one enjoys music, buy them a subscription to an online music library like Spotify. If they’re a fan of novels but don’t have the space for a dozen bookshelves, get them access to digital books through their local library or apps like Audible.
You can think about movies, shows, and even board game services—the options are endless!
A Spa Day
Give your loved one the gift of relaxation, therapy, and peace of mind with a spa day. From massages and facials to quiet time in a soothing environment, a spa day can offer much-needed rejuvenation and pampering.
Relax and rejuvenate at Somerby Peachtree’s on-site spa, or choose from many nearby day spas. We offer transportation into the city for a luxurious spa experience in Atlanta. The choice is yours!
A spa day is beneficial for physical health as well as mental and emotional well-being. Our bodies hold so much tension and stress—taking time to unwind and de-stress can have immense benefits. Gift your loved one with a few hours of self-care that will leave them feeling refreshed and renewed.
A Day Out with You
Sometimes, the best gift we can give is time spent together.
Take your loved one out for a meal, walk in a nearby park, or do an activity they enjoy. These shared experiences will create lasting memories and show them how much you care.
Here are a few ideas:
- Explore nature: Pack a picnic lunch and head to beautiful Luther Glass Park. Stroll along the walking trails, enjoy the 3 ponds, or have a relaxing picnic under a tree or in the gazebo.
- Immerse yourselves in art and culture: For art enthusiasts, a visit to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta is a must. Explore its vast collections or attend a special exhibit.
- Catch a show: Enjoy a night out at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra or a Broadway performance at the Fox Theatre. Closer to home, catch a concert at The Fred.
- Unwind at the Atlanta Botanical Garden: Explore the stunning gardens, attend a seasonal event, or simply relax amidst the vibrant flora.
Sometimes, the best present is your presence.
