Five wonderful gift-giving tips… enjoy the wise words from a 93-year-old great-grandmother.
These tips/quotes came from an article authored by the great-grandmother herself, Mary Lou Wilson, and they are fantastic.
Consider these gifts this year:
🎁 Chauffeuring your older loved one to their favorite places, like where she grew up, to see an old friend or a night time ride to see the Christmas lights.
🎁 Acts of service. Take her for a mani/pedi, bring over some homemade soup, check the air in her tires, etc.
🎁Send or bring over printed photos, she has plenty of frames and the memories will feel special and heartwarming.
🎁Remember that just because someone is older, does not mean that they are “useless” – her words. Ask her to hem a pair of pants or sew a button. Ask her to read a story to the little ones via Zoom or Facetime – or tell a family story.
💚 However, the finest gift of all is your TIME, your presence, and your undivided attention.
You have the power to make someone feel loved and cherished this holiday season, use it well.
