Give Consumables To Older Friends or Relatives

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your post. I am 61 and am trying to get rid of things instead of accumulating them.

This also works for teachers. We especially appreciate home-baked Christmas goodies since we don't have time to bake until school's out. If they can be frozen, so much the better!

Hi Lisa,

Consumables are a GREAT idea. I have found elder's hands don't work as well as they used to. Sometimes you might have to place food in containers that need little strength to open. Zip lock bags etc. Merry Christmas!

that's an excellent idea & probably an even more welcomed gift !

STAMPS! Postage stamps are always welcomed, not only by senior citizens but by everyone! I've even started to give them for grab bag gifts. Whatever the amount of the gift is to be I put postage stamps of that value in a package.

Seniors also like to be given a collection of greeting cards so they can have them on hand for occasions instead of worrying about getting out to purchase them.
