Housewarming Gift Basket for the Elderly

Sometimes elderly people must move from their homes to an assisted living apartment or nursing home. This move can be traumatic, but you can help an older person with this lifestyle adjustment by giving them a housewarming gift basket. Welcome them to their new home with a basket filled with herbal teas, cheese and crackers, home made jams and jellies, and honey. Older resident also appreciate scented candles, lotions, soft slippers, magazine subscriptions, and books. Toiletry items such as toothpaste, shampoos, soaps and deodorants are also appreciated, and make great housewarming gift basket items, too.
