Thanks for the tips just in time for the holiday shopping season! I also have started giving experience gifts, taking someone out or giving them tickets to events.

In reply to rawsonjl.

It really does get harder to buy for folks as they get older and have physical or space constraints! My friend Cathy over at My Side of 50 has also addressed this issue in several of her posts. You might want to take a look at http://mysideof50.com/gifts-for-elderly-fathers/ and then at her list for elderly mothers as well. Unfortunately, this is something we’ll all probably face at some point. I love the idea of flowers – they convey love and brighten up a space and are always appropriate.

I find elderly people to be the hardest to buy for. We have three grandparents in their 90’s and with dietary restrictions I shy away from food gifts, yet they have everything they could want (or live in nursing homes where space it very limited). Usually I end up giving a photo gift or a plant/ flower to brighten up their room.

In reply to Ylva ChasingButterflies. My mom was the person who already had everything so I understand how hard it can be. Hope you find the perfect gift to make your dad happy.
