The year-end holidays are upon us. Depending on our traditions, we’ve already celebrated the eight days of Hanukkah. We’re looking forward to the Winter Solstice, Christmas (Orthodox Christmas is January 7), Boxing Day, and Kwaanza.
Knowing how to tailor gift ideas for a caregiver and loved one will make all the difference. Do you buy a physical gift or offer an experience, instead?
If you haven’t yet found the right gift for the caregiver and care recipient in your life, click to read, The Best Holiday Gifts for Caregivers and Care Recipients at U.S. News & World Report.

Good Morningn Brenda, I wish this link had been up before. I went for 8 years buying things that I had no idea if it was right. I did buy myself a new TV last year. Maarie would have wanted me to do that. It was new technology and I love to stay updated. (65″ Curved Smart UHDTV) I never knew what to buy Marie as after 51 years we had all we needed. She always appreciated jewlery so I did that. Wishing you and all caregivers, present and past, a Happy New Year and hops we are blessed with cures in 2016
Don, thank you for sharing your struggles with choosing appropriate gifts for your late wife, Marie. Hopefully, your comment will inspire others to review the ideas shared here by Dr. Lisa Price and me.
🙂 Brenda
