I got my FIL a seat cushion made by Purple. My FIL came to our house for Christmas so he opened it and I tried it out--omg it's so perfect...I bought one for myself and sit on it every day.

I've also given Japanese snack boxes with an assortment of candy, crackers, etc. If they're adventuresome, this is fun.


Where do you get the Japanese snack boxes? My family would love this!

Your mother is not an "old person" and in any case that's a rude term to use to describe people.

+1 Send a H&D basket with a variety of fruit so they don’t get too much of any one thing.

I am in my 60's and received an early Christmas gift this year of a year of HBO max. They had a special going on until the end of October for a year of service for $70.
I am enjoying it very much.

I read that netflix is supposed to start offering a reduced rate with ads, starting this month.
Hulu has been offering a black Friday deal the last several years for a year of service for only $1 or $2 a month.

Just about everyone likes to sit around and watch TV, so a year of some streaming service is an option for a gift.

Old people tend to like tongs they need, just ask them.
