In case you haven’t experienced it yourself, wheelchairs just aren’t very comfortable.

Finding the perfect gift for a senior man, especially those who have everything they could want already, can be understandably challenging.

This gift basket includes seven varieties of delicious nuts like sweet honey pecans, smoked almonds, jumbo cashews, and more.

According to The Sleep Foundation, changes in our circadian rhythm as we age can cause older adults to suffer more restless sleep patterns.

Give your tired father or grandfather the gift of counting sheep without heading to a petting zoo.

Are you looking for a funny gift to help usher your father or grandfather into senior status?

We’re probably all familiar with the classic fuzzy and non-slip hospital socks, either from personal experience or from binge-watching hours of House or Greys Anatomy. But let’s be honest with each other here; those socks belong in hospitals, not on your dad’s feet. If the senior man in your life is way too cool for those geriatric-looking socks but could benefit from some non-slip support, then you should check out these yoga socks. Yes, they are designed for helping the wearer hold their poses during yoga or pilates. Still, with their effective non-slip bottoms, they could also be a sleeker alternative for your fashion-conscious dad or grandfather.

History Channel who? If the senior man in your life is also a huge history buff, then he’s going to love this monthly subscription package.

As a bonus, it also doubles as a portable charger for electronics because no one likes dealing with dead phone batteries.

This bedside or couch-side pocket could be a useful gift for helping keep essentials on hand for individuals with mobility issues. To be fair, we don’t even want to get up from the couch to get our water bottle or laptop, so we wouldn’t expect our grandfather to want to either. This pocket is durable enough to store books or tablets and comes in standard and large sizes for extra storage capabilities.

This flannel is lined with a blanket. Okay, maybe not exactly, but the Berber fleece lining is essentially the same thing.

Unfortunately, many older adults are unable to handle the demands of taking care of pets. Whether it’s walking them, cleaning up after them, or taking them to the vet, pets like dogs require a fair amount of work. These dog face pillows, on the other hand, don’t require any work at all. These pillows could be a thoughtful gift for a dog lover that can’t handle the commitment anymore but doesn’t love furry friends any less.

Is your grandfather or father the biggest little kid you know? Does he still laugh at fart jokes and enjoy pulling pranks on unsuspecting loved ones? If so, then this mug might be the perfect gift for the senior man on your list. It is printed with “I am just a young man who has been living for a very long time” on both the front and back of the cup, so everyone will be able to see it when he takes a sip. Pair the mug with a selection of his favorite drinks, like coffee to keep up his child-like energy or milk and cookies for some nostalgic dunking.

What do you get for a man who has celebrated more birthdays than you can count? Obviously, a customizable glass to mark the momentous occasion!

Did you know that shortbread cookies actually get better with age? They can be stored for about a month, and during that time, the flavors of the luscious buttery cookies deepen.

These custom message shortbread cookies are a fun and unique gift idea for senior men with a wicked sweet tooth.

To be fair, we thought one of the biggest bonuses of retirement was never having to set an alarm clock ever again, but we might have been wrong about that.

Users can also set the alarm with simple verbal commands, making it perfect for those few times your father or grandfather wants to wake up early.

Does the senior man on your shopping list love a good glass of scotch? Then you should surprise him with these scotch-infused toothpicks! These sustainably sourced toothpicks are soaked in a fine single-malt scotch made by a 200-year-old distillery. In all his years, your father or grandfather has probably never seen anything quite like these unique toothpicks!

Nothing quite compares to watching your favorite team destroy their opponents from the comfort of a recliner so soft you could just sink into it. As we get older, the only problem is that it can be more challenging to stand up from that cushiony goodness. This recliner is one of the more expensive items on our list; however, it could also be a tremendous problem solver for an older man that wants to sit comfortably and maintain independence. It has a simple remote to control the power lift mechanism and recliner settings.

And if that’s not enough, it also has heat and massage capabilities to help relieve aches and pains, dual cup holders, and USB ports for charging electronics. To be fair, your dad or grandfather may never want to get out of this chair again.

Let your elderly father, grandparent, or other loved one know that you’re thinking of them no matter how far apart you are. You can buy a pair of frames— one for you and one for a loved one— and connect them to Wifi networks in their respective locations. Then, give your frame a tap when you want to let your loved one know you’re thinking of them, and both frames will change colors. You could print out a meaningful photo for the recipient’s picture frame to make it the perfect sentimental gift.

Whether the senior man in your life just wants excellent arch support walking around the house or wants to stay cozy for his strolls around the neighborhood, these indoor/outdoor slippers can get the job done.

Your dad might not be able to hit the links as frequently as he once could, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of the game for good.

This indoor putting set is compact enough to be played in his nursing home or any other indoor site.

This compact and lightweight kitchen appliance could be the perfect addition to your father or grandfather’s nursing home. Generally, most nursing homes have predetermined mealtimes for residents and few to no cooking supplies in the rooms. This egg-cooker is perfect for making small snacks protein-packed between meals, without the mess or fuss of dealing with pots of boiling water.

As we mentioned earlier, birding is an excellent hobby for older adults because they can participate regardless of their mobility level. If your grandparents are big into birding or wildlife, this mug could be a thoughtful and unique gift. This gift allows dedicated or hobby ornithologists to record their exciting sightings, including every state bird, nine endemic species (they only occur within a certain geographic area), and nine other popular species. Your father or grandfather can use the marker (included with the mug) to record the species they’ve seen before and bake the mug in the over to make the marks permanent!

You could give a senior man a gift that helps him get off the sidelines and back into some of his favorite activities. Or at least make basic tasks like opening jars and doors a bit easier. These compression gloves could help relieve some of the pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis to enable sufferers to enjoy their hobbies again, from playing the piano to working in their garden.

Many older adults already take multiple medications to deal with their ailments. However, that doesn’t mean they’re experiencing the pain relief they seek. If your grandfather is tired of his aching joints or tired muscles but doesn’t want to add another medication to his routine, he should give this all-natural balm a try. It is formulated with powerful botanicals— like menthol crystals, arnica, wintergreen, St. John’s wort, and ginger— to help relieve those aches and pains that plague him.

It’s still completely unclear when the world will be able to say goodbye to face masks, so at least for now, it seems like we need to find a way to live with these life-saving accessories. However, for those with hearing aids, putting face masks on and off can pose a challenge and potentially lead to lost or damaged hearing aids. These mask straps are a budget-friendly accessory that could prevent a costly and inconvenient accident (seriously, hearing aids are pretty pricey).

Sadly, many of us can’t be there in person for our parents or grandparents every day. But you can give them a very big hug, even if you’re not physically there to hug them. This cozy throw blanket can serve as your replacement until your next visit, and let your grandfather or father know you’re thinking of him and love him no matter how far apart you are.

Say goodbye to those small, inconvenient, and difficult-to-use pill organizers of the past. This extra-large pill organizer is not only big enough to fit some of the larger medicines or supplements your dad or grandfather might use (we’re looking at you, fish oil tablets), but it also has a push-through lid design. That means your senior loved one never has to worry about accidentally knocking over a week’s supply of medication when trying to fill all the compartments because none of the lids have to be open to sort their medication!

It comes with 14 separate containers that could either divide pills into morning and evening doses or organize two weeks’ worth of medications at once. Additionally, these flexible lids are easier to open and close for those with dexterity issues or arthritis.

Your and your father could be enjoying luscious chocolate fondue in less than five minutes, no stovetop or luxury restaurant necessary. These stoneware containers come filled with decadent chocolate fondue; all your dad has to do is pop it in the microwave and get some strawberries ready! It is an awesome gift for those with a sweet tooth that won’t settle for anything less than gourmet. These fondues come in four flavors—French sea salt, espresso, raspberry, or peanut butter dark chocolate. We’re not sure how you’ll choose just one, so we suggest trying them all!

As we mentioned earlier, some seniors experience a more difficult time falling and staying asleep throughout the night. If your loved one isn’t getting the restful sleep he once did, you might want to give him these sleep-promoting patches. Unlike other sleep aid teas or tablets that wear off after a few hours, these patches allow melatonin, valerian root, GABA, and other calming ingredients to be absorbed through the user’s skin slowly and continuously throughout the night. They are definitely worth a try to help your dad or grandfather get his beauty rest!

Suppose your father or grandparents loved to garden and grow fresh produce, but getting down in the dirt has become too challenging as they age. In that case, you could consider giving them this smart garden grow kit. This easy-to-use set enables users to grow fresh herbs, no gardening necessary. It initially comes with three basil pods, and if all goes well, you can also purchase parsley, wild strawberries, and additional basil pods.

If your father or grandfather doesn’t want to give up his weekly poker game but is starting to get accused of cheating because his cards never seem to change, then he might need some help shuffling. But don’t worry, you don’t have to crash his game night and sit in the corner playing dealer; we know you have other things to do. Instead, you can get him this automatic card shuffler. It could help keep his friends off his back and keep his game going into the night!

Chess is an awesome game that can help keep the player’s mind sharp and engaged. However, in nursing homes, there is often limited space for personal items. This rollable chess board is perfect for your loved one that enjoys a fun game of whits but doesn’t have the space for his gameboard to remain on display 24/7.

If your parent or grandparent has rheumatoid arthritis, they might not mention all the tasks that have become more challenging. Many of us think of opening jars or medication bottles, but did it ever occur to you that just unlocking their door could be difficult and painful? These key turner aids could make it easier for those with arthritis or dexterity issues to lock and unlock their doors. Additionally, the bright colors could help your loved ones locate their keys in their bags or around their house.

If making homemade craft beer is wrong, we don’t want to be right. Give your loved one a chance to create their own unique brew with this easy step-by-step kit. The set has everything they need to make a delicious stout beer, including Bulleit Bourbon-soaked wood chips that infuse the beer with unique notes of vanilla and smooth oak. Not to give anyone ideas, but don’t be surprised when your elderly loved one opens a sneaky speak-easy in their nursing home using their home-brewed beer.

If your older loved one is in a wheelchair, you might already understand that it can be challenging for them to find blankets that don’t get stuck or tangled in their wheels. This blanket is designed specifically for use in wheelchairs, keeping the users warm and keeping their ride rolling. This one, in particular, is fleece lined with a waterproof outer shell, so they’re ready for whatever weather life throws at them.

To be fair, until we saw this unicorn head-shaped squirrel feeder, we never thought of watching squirrels as a fun activity. Now, we can’t stop watching Youtube videos of them in people’s backyards. Do your loved ones a favor and get them one of these, especially if they already enjoy watching wildlife in their yard.

Excuse me, sir, are you a tenured professor at a prestigious university? Because that sweater might as well serve as your campus ID.

It’s available in two styles and ten colors, so don’t be afraid to stock up on multiples!

Some adults get more sentimental as they age. So, if you’re looking for a great gift for senior men with a soft side, this personalized money clip could be the answer. This sterling silver money clip is not just engraved with your chosen message but also your unique handwriting for an even more personalized gift. You can write a heartfelt note yourself or even try to find a writing sample from one of his deceased loved ones, such as a card from his departed wife or parents, for example. This money clip would be an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, and useful gift for a senior man in your life.
