5. Delivery services and transportation
During this pandemic, many older adults are staying home to reduce the risk of exposure of Covid-19. Gift cards for these services are thoughtful and practical presents.

Grocery delivery is available from a variety of stores, including:

You could also give them a gift card for a local restaurant that’s currently offering home delivery.

And when they do need to leave the house, private transportation is less risky than public transport:

GoGoGrandparent gift card – This is an on-demand ride service that’s perfect for seniors who don’t use smartphones. No mobile apps are needed and a live person is always available to help.
Lyft or Uber gift card – On-demand rides are a convenient way for older adults to get where they need to go. Some senior organizations even offer concierge services that help seniors book rides.

6. Everyday luxuries

7. Technology they’ll actually want to use

Smart digital photo frame with video calling:

Another great gift is the ViewClix Smart Frame. It’s a digital photo frame with video calling and an auto-answer mode.

When auto-answer is set up, the older adult doesn’t need to do anything to receive a video call. This is especially helpful for making video calls to someone with dementia or who isn’t able to physically answer a call.

There’s a 10-inch screen size ($200) or 15-inch screen size ($300).
