Paoli, PA (PRWEB) June 10, 2004 -– According to the US Census bureau there
are more than 14.4 million men aged 65+ in the U.S., many of whom are parents.
Finding a Father's Day gift that they will appreciate can be challenging.
Wellhaven Gifts for Seniors (www.wellhaven.com) provides some tips on selecting useful and
unique Father's Day gifts.
For active seniors, choose a gift related to
their hobby or interest.
* Choose clothing and accessories
for use in their favorite activity. Dad may appreciate practical items such as a
new sportsman’s vest or a golf wind shirt. For accessories, give Dad a
gold-plated money clip and key ring with golfer, hunter and fisherman
designs.
* Gadgets make good gifts. Dads like anything that
makes life easier. Choose items such as cell phone amplifiers or even a stylish
walking stick with a casino pattern on the shaft.
* Give
the gift of entertainment. Select a gift certificate to local restaurant or
movie theatre. Or, choose a collection of musical memories from a bygone era
that Dad can enjoy while in the car or at home.
For elderly fathers
consider items that enable easier everyday living or promote social
interaction.
* Make lawn and garden chores easier. If your
dad lives in his own home, mow the lawn, tend the garden or arrange for it to be
done on a regular basis. For aging parents who prefer to do their own lawn and
garden activities, consider ergonomic tools that ease strain on the
joints.
* Help those with vision difficulties. Choose large
print books, large face watches, clocks or playing cards. Lighted magnifiers are
often useful in reading the small print on medication vials or cooking
instructions on food containers.
* Give the gift of
communication. When selecting big button, amplified or multi-feature specialty
telephones, ensure that the phone is hearing-aid-compatible (if applicable) and
eliminates feedback and distortion for clear communication. When selecting an
emergency response telephone, determine if there are any recurring monthly fees
associated with using it.
Selecting gifts for senior dads, whether they
are active or elderly, can be challenging. But he will appreciate thoughtfully
selected gifts that help him enjoy life better or maintain independence. For
