Gifts For Seniors - Any Ideas?

We all love our senior friends and relatives, and want so much
to remember them on holidays. Senior real estate buying and selling, and downsizing, in nashville tn. Sarah & John Rummage, Realtors, info@ARR-TN.com

But we don't want to clutter their downsized homes with 'stuff.' I think it is good to give small, or consumable gifts.

Allen Hainge , a great real estate trainer and professional, put out the question for ideas on his Facebook page, and came up with some ideas: 
-Take them out for a nice dinner or lunch
-A subscription to their favorite magazine
-A subscription to their local newspaper
-A certificate to a nice restaurant
... -A pre-paid grocery card
-A weekly phone call
-If they have a favorite team, take them to a game; if they don't live near you, send them a pair of tickets
-Drop by for a visit...just to talk
-Movie tickets
-A monthly cleaning service for their home
-A pair of glasses, if needed
-A clothing certificate
-A photo album containing photos from their past
-An Ancestor.com membership









I recently gave a closing gift to Mrs. K.,
a senior home seller.
This was a coffee mug with a photo
of her home on it, ordered from
Costco (other photo processing
companies also make gifts with photos).

I also gave her mouse pads with her home photo for her grown childen.

If you have ideas of gifts and remembrances that would please seniors, please share.

If you know a senior in the Nashville TN area who is thinking of selling their larger home to downsize to more manageable living, give us a call, or email us. We would love to meet to talk about options. No pressure; we work on your timetable, not ours!

I give all my renters a "Good Renter" basket during the holidays. Most of them are in their 70's and 80's ( old enough to be my parents). I usually fill them with "Soft" Fruit. No apples, candy or nuts. Someimes I include a gift card for a local meal out!
