Bird Feeder

• While many aging people might have enjoyed working in their gardens and yards in earlier years, they might not be able to anymore. Choose a bird feeder for your parents and install it in their yard outside a window that they often sit near. That way, your parents can watch the birds, squirrels and other small animals that visit the bird feeder and enjoy nature without leaving their home.
  
  

Classes

• For the aging parents who are still active, choose a set of classes. Learning new things will help keep their minds active and will also give them something fun to do. Choose a series of classes in activities such as painting, cooking, dancing or pottery.
  
  

Help

• It can be difficult for older people to do the necessary things around the house. Give your parents the Christmas gift of help. Hire a cleaning service to come once a week or every other week to clean your parents' home. Yard work can be especially difficult for older people. Hire a yard service to cut the grass, weed the flowers, rake the leaves and do other jobs outside.
  
  

Food of the Month

• Give your parents a Christmas gift that they can enjoy all year long. Choose a food-of-the-month club for your parents. There are lots of food clubs available online, such as cheeses, steaks, jams or fruit. Not only will your parents have a new tasty treat every month, it will be something for them to look forward to.
