it is not the type of present you buy that counts but it is how you buy it that makes all the difference.
You may have thought of buying a car to your elderly relative and deep down you are wishing that he crashes and dies. in this case what is the scope of buying it in the first place!!??
If you feel that you want to give incontinence pads as present and these you are giving from the bottom of your heart, then I do not see why we need to debate whether such present is adequate as a present or not??!! your elderly relative would still have to buy them anyway!!

Did you think the minty fresh toothpaste and mouthwash i brought you last Christmas was appropriate for your halitosis problem? Did it feel good when you opened it up surrounded by all your friends and family and they said " OOOHHH at last, now you can kiss us"? lol
I don't think buying people something that's a personal hygiene product as a gift is appropriate ....if they are truly poor and cant afford such products and you know for sure they use them and don't mind being open about their problem ...then i think ask if it would be OK....otherwise I'm sensing no Christmas invitations in your future.

Just ask yourself this question. Would you like to get a Christmas present like that? I seriously doubt it. If you wouldn't be happy with it why would anyone else. You should get a more personal gift. If you can't think of one there is always gift cards. That way if they need the pads then they can buy them for themselves.

Depends (ho ho) on the relative. If you think they'll be able to see the humour in the situation and take it as a joke, then sure. I wouldn't give them as the only present though, not unless you want to get cut out of the will!
Hmm, maybe I'll get some for my dad this year...

yet another man or woman's enterprise! Make a date with them to take them out to dinner or carry dinner to their homestead and eat/visit with them. looking on how "elderly" they're the creams and candles are not continually a solid thought. they often get fairly a number of those via fact absolutely everyone thinks the comparable factor. (my grandmother who's 88 does besides -yet i do no longer recommendations the "hand-me-downs") purchase them a present certificates for: groceries newspaper/magazine subscription heating invoice cable invoice in my view make a gc for shoveling their snow or reducing their backyard solid luck & Merry Christmas!

Lets just hope your elderly relative totally ignores you this Christmas so that your nasty sarcasm doesn't affect them. Go out and get yourself a life you sicko !

I suggest a BOOTS Token might be more appropriate. Although it depends on how well you know the person, how old the person is and if at a good old age they have everything they need/want. A bit of research is needed here I think......and tact.

Yes if accompanied by the sort of underwear to make the relative feel young at heart.

I think not. It is a very embarrassing for elderly people. It is something they don't have control, highlighting it is unfair. It's not just an old peoples problem you know

It's the thought that counts and buying such a personal gift shows thoughtfulness, although in this instance I'd stick with vouchers!
