what should i put in a senior Goody bag?

Question

I want to make goody bags for seniors what should i put inside them.

Answer 1

That is so easy. A periscope so they can see where they are going when driving.

Answer 2

Well that all depends on what that person enjoys and the price limit for the goody bag. You can put things in the bag that dint cost money but require your time such as a coupon booklet. The coupons can be for a drive to the store or running errands. Most senior cant get around like they use to so a helping hand is always a good thing.

Answer 3

Hard candy, hair brush or comb, toothpaste, toothbrush, lotion, soap, bubble bath, deodorant, fun nonskid socks, gift card to the local grocery store or Starbucks, and reading material like Reader's Digest, a book or magazine. They would also appreciate coupons for local restaurants. Maybe even a cute little ornamental stuffed animal that they could sit on their nightstand (like a Beanie Baby), those always make me smile.

Answer 4

As many seniors have nutritional subjects and that all of them have distinctive tastes in track and stuff . . . that is hard. Are those individuals in a nursing abode or in a position bodied people on your church or community center ? it would desire to be extra effective to make up a basket of snacks or CDs of 30s and 40s track and enable them to %. something out.

Answer 5

I use to work in a retirement home- Candy, Cookies and any food type of product. They love to eat and can do without the junk.
Puzzles are nice suggestion though!
I would look into sugar free food products!
And maybe some healthy fruit snacks!

Be careful with nuts allergies!

Answer 6

Hand lotion, water bottles, for ladies nice bath products (that's always popular no matter how old or young you are!), food goodies (make sure they're not too hard to eat, in case your seniors have dentures), puzzle books

Answer 7

I find that Senior really like candy! (as long as they are not diabetic!) They were raised in frugal times, and likely don't treat themselves very often.

Don't get anything too new or trendy or childish like poprocks, but things like Butter Rum Lifesavers are good. Nice chocolates too! Teas and things. Consumables are always good, and enjoyed.

They don't really need a momento do they? They have lots of those from really special events like grandchilds wedding etc. Let them have fun - old-style games etc. things that remind them of their childhood (Old Maid).

Answer 8

I have done this too, for my mom. She enjoys those delicious little boxes of soups from World Market. (She just adds water.) Also, postage stamps, envelopes, coffee and/tea (I buy the foil pouch kinds), small jars of jellies and honey, shortbread cookies, large-print magazines or books, bookmarks, cotton socks, a pretty purse mirror.

Answer 9

Here's a list:
good giant print books
slippers
perfume
soft skin care
books on tape
DVD's
powder
Other than that, I would visit some nursing homes and see what they need. ...another thought is cards for Thanksgiving and Christmas with their name on it. ....homemade cookies....
How about getting a list of their birthdays and visiting with a small special gift on that day.
