We picked and assisted living home to sing Christmas carols to, but we would also like a have a gift for each of them. So I need gift ideas for men and women, something they can use and that will make their Christmas a little bit happier. My granddaughter and her friends are going to participate in caroling and help wrap gifts. Nothing too expensive, we do live on a budget.

Fleece throws, toiletry items like deodorant, lotion, and socks are inexpensive items that are appreciated.
Quilted bags that can be hung on a walker or wheelchair to hold personal items.
Quilted bags for wheelchairs or walkers are an EXCELLENT and very thoughtful idea - I came across one a few years ago at a craft fair and gave it to my 80-something year's young mother. She is able to live at home because my sister became her live-in home health aid.
Also - adult-sized bibs (my sister calls them aprons) that can lay on their chest/down their front to help keep their clothes clean and stain-free. Make them in fun colors and year-round holiday fabrics -- not just Christmas. Make your own quilted fabric, make them two sided
