Gift
suggestions for the older adults on your list
Greenville, Ohio ⎯ What do you get for the person who has
everything? As the holidays approach, so does gift giving
anxiety. Heartland of Greenville wants to take some stress out of
your holiday gift giving worries by providing some suggestions for the
older adults on your list. We are offering a free brochure,
Shedding Light on Gift Ideas for Older Adults, simply by calling or
dropping by the center nearest you.
At Heartland, we have noticed that the most appreciated gifts are those
which consider personal preferences and limitations. According to
Rosemary Nelson, Activities Director, needs change as we age. “An
avid reader may not be able to read the small print in books and
magazines. Large print and audio books help them to enjoy their
hobby once again.”
Gift ideas range from tools for arthritis sufferers to nostalgic items
that spark reminiscing of years past. Meaningful gifts do not
need to be expensive. “One of the simplest gifts of all is your time,”
says Nelson. “Plan to attend a movie or play, go out to dinner at a
favorite restaurant, or take time to make a scrapbook together.”
Another option to consider is a donation made in the name of an older
adult. Heartland of Greenville is participating in the national
U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign this year. This
program provides toys for families in need each year at
Christmas. Donations of unwrapped toys can be placed in the
drop-box located at Heartland of Greenville.
For your free brochure of gift giving suggestions or to drop off your
donation for Toys for Tots, please call Heartland of Greenville at
937-548-3141 or visit 243 Marion Drive, Greenville, Ohio.
