Comfy and cute! Soft, lightweight, breathable, stretchy, skin-friendly, and cozy, these adorable pj’s are great to relax around the house! They also help provide a good night’s sleep as they allow for more freedom and roll over in bed! Comes in a variety of colors.
MagniPros Magnifying Glass with Dual Power Lens
This magnifying glass might be the best gift I bought ever for my 84-year-old mom. She has vision problems due to macular degeneration and some other issues, and this handy magnifier was exactly what she needed! Frustrated by her aging eyes (and before we found this wonderful solution), she stopped reading for a while.
As books provide hours of entertainment and crystal clear reading which helps pass the time for her, I hated that she no longer could read comfortably. We especially love the full page view and flip out legs.
The led magnifier reduces eye strain because it magnifies up to 300% and provides light without glare.
Made out of optical grade acrylic, it is more lightweight, scratch-resistant, and shatterproof than glass, and provides great clarity.
Another bonus, the lens covers a large viewing area without the need to move your hands all the time which is helpful as her hands are weaker now than when younger. Powered by triple-A batteries, the LEDs are made to last more than 25,000 hours!

The technology allows for seamless opening, which decreases the hazards of dangerous sharp edges that are sometimes a problem with other can openers. Easy to clean with a wet towel, it makes life easier for seniors – or anyone!

At first glance, these grinders might not seem special despite their elegant appearance. What makes them great for an older woman living alone besides that they beautify the kitchen, these battery-operated tall sleek grinders are easy to use with convenient one-hand operation. For women who have weakness or arthritis in their hands, this gift is one that is extremely helpful.

Sunlight Therapy Lamp, 10,000
A light therapy lamp mimics natural outdoor light, the lack of which is very depressing to some people who are inside most of the time. This lamp provides glare-free brightness that can be adjusted. Ultra compact, it takes up very little space and can sit on a desk, kitchen counter or vanity. It’s also very simple to use! Only two touch buttons.
Many find it increasingly more difficult to keep track of days, dates, and times as they age. Your favorite senior may need to keep track of medications or appointments. Or maybe they just have a busy social calendar!
The large display makes this digital clock an ideal gift because of the easy-to-read face that clearly spells out the time, the day, the date, and whether or not it’s morning or night.
This clock is helpful for anyone but is particularly beneficial for people with dementia or macular degeneration. With lots of frame options to choose from, you can easily match it to their decor. I recently bought this clock for my mom. She put it on a shelf in the kitchen and looks at it all the time – it’s very helpful!

This cozy and attractive weighted blanket evenly distributes weight for relaxing and restful sleep. It helps tremendously with anxiety!

This blanket also provides a soft hand-feel and helps your loved one to maintain an ideal temperature.
Ring Video Doorbell
Worried your favorite 80-year-old answers the door to strangers? This WiFi-enabled video doorbell allows her to see, hear and speak to visitors from her phone, tablet, or computer.
In addition, the doorbell can be programmed to work with Alexa if she has an Echo or Echo Dot. The Ring video doorbell is easy to install and works both with or without existing doorbell wires.
An 80-year-old woman generally won’t buy one of these for herself, but will love it once installed! And you can rest more comfortably if you know she has this safety feature at her front door.
