5 Terrific Christmas Gifts To Give Senior Citizens

We love the senior citizens in our lives and we want to show them how much they mean to us around the holidays.

Here are five gift ideas senior citizens will truly enjoy and appreciate.

1. A Gift Certificate From __ -- You probably didn’t even realize the __ but they do. The gift certificates can be used for any Senior Center classes, events and day trips. For more information, stop by the Senior Center, 175 Chandler St., or call Director Linda Brabant at 978-640-4480.

2. A Hair Cut/Styling -- Where does your favorite senior have their hair done on a regular basis? Stop by and grab a gift certificate for two sessions. _Browse the hair salons and barber shops in Tewksbury by clicking here._

3. Snow Plowing/Shoveling -- One of the most difficult things for senior citizens in the winter can be keeping their walkways and driveways clear. Find out who handles the shoveling in their neighborhood and make arrangements to have it done. Or _check out these Tewksbury plowing services_ and pay for their driveway to be cleared.

4. Landscaping/Gardening: _Connect with a local landscaping company_ and arrange to have work done at your favorite senior's home this spring. Many seniors who still live in their own home take great pride in the appearance of their yard and gardens. It's frustrating for them if they are no longer physically able to maintain them. Helping them to keep their property beautiful would mean the world to them.

5. Housekeeping: Much like with landscaping outside, seniors take pride in the appearance of their homes and apartments inside. However, there comes a time when some of the housework is physically difficult or impossible. Connect with firm in the Merrimack Valley that does housekeeping and make arrangements for a few visits.
