My 95 year old Mother found buying and wrapping gifts for her 50 descendants was too big a chore. We took a picture of her on her birthday and printed 50 wallet size photos and bought her Christmas cards and postage stamps. Now we will enjoy sitting with her and helping address the cards. She loved the idea.

A very thoughtful idea and a clever solution. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
Blessed will be your memories of these times. Maybe you will inspire others to do the same for their parents & elderly family members. Stamps and cards/stationary are a great gift for anyone that lovs to write and get "REAL" mail in retirement homes and nursing homes.
That was a nice gesture for the 95 year old. But at 95, no one should be expected to buy presents for anyone. I guess there should be a cut-off age for buying gifts unless the person really wants to continue. Maybe retirement age would be good.
My mother is not quite there yet, but due to $$$$ and the fact that i have EVERYTHING i need, i have asked her for either a letter, or a box of her killer chocolate chip cookies. I save the boxes (they are pretty) and mail them back to her.
I am inspired! My Mom is 92! She would love that! Her 93rd birthday is in June. I'm thinking ahead, thanks to you, with a great idea! Thank you so much!
My mother started getting passes to the movies from family members. She loves the movies and the prices are so high today that are just what she needs. She'll be 90 this winter.
