Finding the right gift ideas is a challenge, Finding gifts for caregivers who needs more assistance than stuff can really make your head explode. Well, I'm here to help. Today I get personal and offer up my list of gifts for caregivers and gifts for those living with Alzheimer's. I've had a lot of practice so you benefit from my experience.

Gift Ideas for Caregivers

Just for You - A Daily Self Care Journal

“Just for You, a daily self-care journal” guides the writer on a journey of self-discovery while intentionally exploring the seasons of life 365 days a year. Each daily prompt encourages the writer to uncover creative self-care solutions and rediscover personal visions and desires. Ultimately this is a creative tool to boost and inspire the recipient to live their best life by focusing on integrating health and happiness into each day. This journal blends daily writing prompts with monthly ‘fun’ activity pages. Use the blank lines to capture one or multiple years of daily responses. Personalize the journal pages by adding splashes of color and creativity. Whether received as personal gift or offered to someone who needs encouragement, this journal enables a fun and positive ripple effect in just minutes each day by allowing the writer to creatively focus on wellness for the mind, body and spirit.

Freeze & Go Slow Cooker Meals

Bring one to them with Uber Eats. UberEats has hundreds of restaurants to choose from. When they open the app, they can scroll through the feed for inspiration or search for a particular restaurant or cuisine. When they find something they like, tap to add it to their cart.

Now that it's just the two of us my husband & I use Blue Apron   We've discovered flavors and ingredients we never would have tried otherwise. We waste a lot less food too.
