Holiday Gift For Seniors



It's often difficult to choose a gift for an older person, especially if they are living in an assisted living community or small apartment. The last thing they need, or want, is more stuff. At Laurel Mountain Basket Company we recommend choosing gifts that are practical and totally consumable.
A pretty package of tea with a small box of cookies and chocolates will bring a smile and lift anyone's spirits. A couple of bars of hand made soap tied up in a pretty bow is a nice touch. A box of all occasion cards or note cards with a book of postage stamps would be appreciated by anyone, especially if they have a difficult time getting out.
Several small denomination gift cards to the local supermarket or prepaid phone cards are thoughtful gifts that help stretch a tight budget.
Most of all, it really is the thought that counts. This holiday season remember that little things can make a big difference.
