(PRWEB) November 22, 2004 -- With more than 33 million people over age 65 in
the United States, almost everyone has an older parent, Grandma or Grandpa for
whom they buy a holiday gift. Sometimes, it can be challenging to find a gift
that senior citizens will appreciate. Wellhaven Gifts for Seniors offers ideas
for entertaining gifts for senior citizens.
Large Face Playing Cards – It
seems everyone is playing cards these days, thanks to the popularity of
televised poker games. Why not make it an intergenerational activity? Have a
Card Players’ Night when the older relatives teach the younger ones a thing or
two about playing various card games. Use easy-to-read large face playing cards
and card holders for those with difficulty holding a large number of playing
cards. A card shuffler makes it easy for those with arthritis or limited
dexterity.
Musical Memories Collections – Provide hours of entertainment
with a gift box set of original recordings of Big Band era or 1950s music. Show
tunes from old movies also make a good gift. Seniors enjoy reminiscing with
their favorite songs while at home, in the car or at a milestone birthday or
anniversary party.
Age-Less Humor Gifts – Some may think that people lose
their sense of humor as they age, but seniors do enjoy a good laugh. Studies
show that those who keep a positive and humorous outlook on the aging process
live longer than those who don’t. Before there were sitcoms on TV, old-time
radio’s comedy legends provided hours of entertainment. For those who experience
“senior moments,” the Senior Moments game or playing cards could be a fun gift.
Reminiscing Games – Reminiscing can be a private or social activity.
Make it easy for seniors to share a lifetime of memories with family and friends
with the Reminiscing Game. It is now available in the master edition with
hundreds of bonus movie trivia questions going back to 1939. For those who enjoy
music trivia, the For the Record game, with its guitar-shaped game board, is
available in an oldies edition with questions from the 1950s, 1960s and
1970s.
Large Print Books – For seniors who enjoy reading as a quiet form
of entertainment, large print books, whether compilations of short stories or
full-length novels, make a thoughtful gift. For those with low-vision who may
not be able to read any longer, audio books or old-time radio dramas are
entertaining gifts.
According to Patricia Curry, founder of Wellhaven
Gifts for Seniors, “The gift of entertainment is timeless. Senior citizens of
all ages, from the “prime timers” to the elderly, enjoy the social interaction
you can create with the gift of entertainment. Often, the time spent with
Grandma and Grandpa while enjoying these fun activities can become more
important than the gift itself.”
Wellhaven Gifts for Seniors is a small,
female-owned business founded in 2002 and headquartered in Paoli, Pennsylvania.
