What do seniors buy most?

Taken directly from Oprah's Favorite Things, this journal can help the elderly person you know jot down old memories, new curiosities, or even plans for the future. We weren't exactly surprised that 100 people mentioned Eileen Fisher, one of the favorites of recent years, as their favorite designer. Having a watch that shows the date, day of the week, time of day and time can be a great way for older people with dementia or memory problems to find their way around. An exercise bike can be an affordable, low-impact way for older people to incorporate cardiovascular exercise into their regular routines without leaving home.

In addition, additional copies of the book are very affordable, so those closest to their elderly loved one can also enjoy browsing history and remembering the good times. It includes everything you need to help the older person in your life unleash their creativity, such as paint, brushes, a 2 x 16 inch canvas, and more. This mat has six stretching programs, offers three levels of intensity, provides relaxing and restorative warmth and can be easily unrolled, extended and stored for older people looking for space. Fitbits and other similar watch-like fitness trackers offer older people and their loved ones and caregivers an easy way to monitor activity, sleep, and heart rate and much more.

In the retirement community where Elson works, older people are already busy writing their lists, double-checking them and comparing them to the Target circular. Last but not least, when it comes to seniors and gifts, don't assume that you know what your older person wants. Eighty percent of older people said they exercised daily or a couple of times a week (many mentioned that they did so after they retired). Robotic vacuums work best when the floor is clear, so it may be worth considering depending on the older person's living environment.

These headphones can help older people feel more connected, whether they're talking on the phone, listening to music or watching a TV show. This simple yet smart device was designed with older people in mind and is one of my grandmother's favorite connectivity tools.
