For a Christmas gift for older ones, this year I bought small disposable aluminum baking tins and made mini lasagnas which I put in the freezer. I taped the date and baking direcions written on a mailing label on the top. Often older people don't bother with this kind of dish because it makes too much for them to eat. I also make extra lasagnas in our bread pans and freeze for quick family meals for us. This would work for any freezable entree.
