Cooking

• One of the things we can give as a Christmas gift is to offer to cook them a special Christmas dinner. If the person lives alone you can not only prepare the meal but also have dinner with them. Elderly people can get very lonely sometimes and even sharing a meal with them can make a big difference in their lives and be the best Christmas gift. You can also get the gift of wisdom they can share with you over the meal.
  
  

Cleaning

• Another Christmas gift idea is to offer to clean their home for them at least once a week or if you don't have the time, maybe you could pay for them to have a cleaning service come in and clean their place for them. This could help them out tremendously because it would take a load off of them to have to continuously clean their home if they don't have the strength or energy to do so. This is a Christmas gift that extends beyond Christmas.
  
  

Pets

• For the elderly person who may live alone, it is always great to have a pet around to keep them company. A pet companion is a great Christmas gift. A great companion pet for the elderly can be either a bird or a cat. These particular animals are not high maintenance, and taking care of the pet keeps their time occupied. People and pets tend to become very close, and for this reason, a pet is not only an excellent companion but also a gift to ward off the blues of loneliness
  
  

Movies and Music

• For the elderly people in your life who are big movie lovers, you can always buy them a movie collection set of classic films. Or for music lovers, you can buy them a music collection set of classic popular songs. Around the Christmas period, these classic movie and music collection sets are always available and always on sale. You could really warm their hearts by giving them a collection of popular movies and songs from their particular era.
  
  

Groceries

• Offer to purchase groceries. The elderly can experience financial strains, and doing this will not only say you care but will also relieve a heavy burden off of their back. You do not have to only do it for Christmas; offer to buy and deliver groceries once a week if possible.
  
  

The Snuggie

• Because the elderly tend to be a bit more sensitive to cold, you can purchase the popular Snuggie as a Christmas gift. Snuggies are fleece blankets with sleeves. Chances are they would love the warmth while reading a good book or comfortably watching television.
