Home Care in Bethlehem PA
It’s that time of year again, when thoughts turn to evergreen trees, lights, and presents. While getting parents useful gifts can be practical, it’s often the unusual, heart-warming presents that bring both a smile and a tear.
Keepsakes and Memories
My Life Story—So Far
This journal prompts your loved one to remember and record the history of their lives and the people that have impacted them. From Early Years to Love & Marriage and ending with Words of Wisdom, each chapter illicits thoughts and memories from specific times in their lives. Each chapter also has a place for photos and asks thought-provoking questions.
Mother & Daughter Letter Book Set
This is a beautiful inspirational book set containing 40 cards that are meant to be sent between mother and daughter. The book offers hundreds of ideas about sharing thoughts and personable memories. Once sent and received, the cards are placed into the 40 secret pockets contained within the book.
Time as a Present
Age has brought many material items—some treasured and some that fill corners and crevices with items used once and then forgotten. For those parents with “everything,” consider the gift of time. Gather friends, neighbors and loved ones together for a surprise holiday decorating party at your parent’s home. Then get out the eggnog and don the Santa Clause hats. Take your parent out to pick out the Christmas tree, evergreen garland and wreath. Pick out one new ornament together, an act that becomes a yearly tradition. Place someone in charge of baking pies so that the home is filled with the scents of the holiday with festive music playing in the background. Be aware, this may become a yearly request from your thankful parent.
Gift Certificates to Share
Looking forward to a special outing with their children can bring incredible joy to a parent whose home has become a little quieter with the advent of age. Consider tickets to a holiday musical event and a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant. If it is difficult for them to get out, bring the celebration to them by renting a video and picking up some to-go food at that new restaurant down the street that they’ve been wanting to try. While you’re picking up the goodies, have the rest of the family set the stage for a fun night at your parent’s home, and enjoy.
