Caregiving Club 5th Annual Holiday Gift Guide

We are highlighting our picks for best Caregiver Wellness Gifts by choosing things that fit into our 5 senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. In my book, “Me Time Monday,” I write about the natural soothing calm we get when we immerse ourselves in nature and by engaging the five senses. These gift ideas embrace that wellness philosophy.

1. Get Bamboozled (in a good way!)

2. Wearable Wellness

3. What Happens in Vagus . . .

4. Fashion That Boosts Your Brain Health

5. Me Time and Scents of the Season

6. Sweet Dreams are Made of These

7. Where Did Ya Get Those Peepers?

8. Got Burnout? Give or Get a Respite Break

Family caregivers actually influence or purchase 79% of helpful products for older adults – especially to help them stay in their homes as long as possible. Often caregivers do not even know what is available or why certain products are beneficial for their aging loved ones. This holiday gift guide is for both Older Adults and Family Caregivers to live safely and joyfully at home. We also included some Dementia Care gift ideas – 1 in 3 adults over 85 will develop some type of dementia but as we know you can still spark joy and love with dementia loved ones throughout their journey.

1. Walk This Way

2. Come On Baby, Light My Fire

3. Wake Me Up Before You Go Go

9. Dementia Care: Calling Cards

10. Dementia Care: Dementia Play Keeps Anxiety at Bay

As I wrote in my book, Me Time Monday, our homes are part of our 7 elements of wellness – they represent the Environmental Wellness that our brains seek. Creating well home design goes beyond making homes accessible and safe. It includes things such as air care and biophilic design. By creating calming, soothing sanctuary places in our home, we improve our environmental wellness that leads to better physical and mental health. The key design element is how to engage the 5 senses for multisensory experiences that enhance brain health and happiness. Here are our top holiday gift picks for Wellness for the Home.

1. There’s No Place Like Home

2. Hold My Spot

3. Kiss the Cook: Self-Care Recipes

4. Green Thumb Wellness

5. Easy Eggs

6. I Wanna Fly Away

7. Green Wellness
