On this page, I’m showing you what I consider to be the most unusual gifts for senior citizens. These are items I discovered while caring for my elderly Mom, Gertie.
If you are looking for something special, know of another unusual gift I could feature, or have any comments, please leave me a message on the comment form at the end of the page.
Thanks, Lori
Hello Lori, we will launch a ergonomic GPS Smart Walking sticks, it feels like regular walking canes which means loved ones can be tracked unobtrusively and remain free from the stigma of other wearable trackers than can be seen from others.
Understand that you are expert in gift area, would you please tell me your idea about this product? We will debut in CES 2018.
Any interests ? Await for your reply.

Hi, Cindy. Sounds like a fantastic idea. How precise will it be? Please do keep me in touch.
If you are interested, check out Justbecuz.com. They offer video recordings. There are questions that guide the person through their life story. It is super easy. My mom did it. She loved it! When they are done, they get a final video that they can download and share. It will be a memory that I will keep forever. They can answer a few questions at a time or skip a question they don’t want to answer. It is just a matter of them being able to click their mouse. The only confusing thing is getting the video to turn on if it isn’t on the computer. Under FAQ there is a “compatibility test” that is just a click. It will ask to use your video and microphone. You click yes and your good to go. Anyway, they have videos for singles or couples and even have ones for engaged couples, graduates and new babies.
What a wonderful service, especially for those who have loved ones starting in on dementia.
Hi Lori, I count all these gift ideas as a surprise gift. In this way, a cooling mattress pad would be the best option for give any senior as a gift. Last year I did the same, I brought a cooling mattress pad like your photo, and gift it to my grandmother. You can’t imagine how she surprised when she gets this pad. So undoubtedly this pad is the best selection for seniors.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad the cooling mattress pad worked – it sure has helped me!
