Useful practical gifts are the best gifts for empty nesters.
My friend’s parents recently moved into a lovely 50+ community. The new place is maintenance free, perfect for this next stage in their lives.
As the home was much smaller than the previous one where they raised their children, they needed to get rid of a lot of their belongings. For months my friend helped them purge decades of belongings, including family heirlooms no one wanted. It was understandably an emotional, albeit necessary, experience for all of them.
When my friend moved them into the new place, she invited her brother to visit. He arrived with a basket full of decorative items as a housewarming gift. Thoughtful, yes. And certainly well-meaning. But, the last thing they needed at this point was more “stuff”.
I understand you don’t want to show up empty handed at a new home, but it’s nice to bring a practical gift for people who downsize their homes. Here are some ideas for the best gifts for empty nesters:
