Gifts that Give More
Presents for parents
Buying gifts for parents, grandparents, and other older relations and friends can be challenging. Giving gifts that can help them as they age may come with the best intentions, but self-improvement gifts can carry unintended messages. This page features products that we think are both useful and desireable, but won’t be an obvious push towards healthy ageing or a change in lifestyle. We would love your feedback or recommendations if you find something we haven’t included or if something isn’t right.
What can I expect?
Our gift ideas don’t include fall alarms and walk-in baths, but they will help make later life better.
One of the key elements of growing older successfully is retaining a sense of curiosity, purpose, and challenge in our life. Many of the gift ideas here complement this philosophy by sparking a new, or rekindling an old, hobby or interest.
You may find that many of these ideas are appropriate not only for only older relatives, but as great gifts for you, your partner, and maybe even your kids.
