Great holiday & everyday gift ideas for senior citizens, grandparents, elderly & older adults. All available online, these are useful & fun items seniors will appreciate.

Carefully picking gifts for active seniors and the elderly can be challenging as senior citizens often have special needs, a lack of storage space, and/or limited abilities. To make Christmas, holiday, birthday and other gifts special, finding good online sources is especially helpful. Following are two great online senior citizen gift store sites and ideas for some thoughtful presents which can be purchased quickly and easily for any budget and for any older adult.

Great Senior Citizen Gift Ideas from the Online Store Seniorstore.com

  • Large Print Cards: Low Vision Playing Cards: Large Print Playing Cards for Seniors. Low vision cards are regular sized, but have 1-1/2" numbers. Each suit is a different color to make playing even easier. This is a nice gift at the inexpensive price of $4.95.
  • Postu-Rite Lap Desk: This lap desk’s wedge-shaped cushion is filled with foam beads for comfort. The tray on top has a non-glare, wipe clean surface to provide a nice reading, writing or eating surface which can adjust from flat to a 20 degree angle. This lightweight portable lap desk is ideal for any senior. Price: $29.95
  • Life Stories Game: This non-competitive storytelling game is fun for family gatherings and renewing histories. While playing this game, generations share stories and dreams in response to thought provoking & memory jogging inquiries like: "Tell us about the kids you grew up with- your crowd.." Price: $29.95

Thoughtful Senior Gifts from the Active Forever Website Online Store

  • Nosey Cup: The Nosey Cup has a cut-out side that enables an older person to tilt the cup farther up than a regular cup, without the “top” of the cup bumping the nose. This is a useful present for a senior who can’t drink easily from a cup due to difficulty tilting their head back. This nifty present sells for the budget price of only $3.49.
  • Long Playing Card Holder: Active seniors who enjoy playing card games with others, but who have limited hand usage, will enjoy this thoughtful gift. This long rack displays cards so they may be easily seen, added, or removed much more easily than trying to hold multiple cards. Pencils fit on the front of the holder and it can also hold recipes or memos. Price: just $4.95
  • Book Butler Book Stand: The Book Butler is a book stand that makes it easier for older people with hand pain or weakness to view books and turn pages. This book stand will accommodate almost any paperback or hard cover, including very large books, all at a comfortable angle. Price: $16.95

Both of these online senior gift sources have many more items at all price levels. The sites are simple to navigate and have clear explanations and pictures of all products, so great gifts for active senior citizens and the elderly can be easily found, bought, and even sent, all online. Grandparents or other seniors are all unique and special and the large selection of nice gifts to be found is excellent.

Looking for a great gift or stocking stuffer for friends and family.
The new fantasy novel, "Gateway to DreamWorld," was released last month and has been receiving rave reviews. Looking forward to a movie deal in the future.
During the cold months ahead, they will curl up to a warm fire and enter a fantasy world filled with excitement and suspense.
The book is listed on Amazon.com, Barnes&Nobles.com, and Powell’s Books.com
