10 Gifts for Elderly Friends to Exchange during a White Elephant or Secret Santa

If you are looking forward to having fun during the holiday season, a white elephant party or secret Santa would be a perfect idea.  There are lots of fun gifts seniors can exchange with family and friends as they make merry and have fun!  The ultimate goal is to have fun. So, seniors can get random and quirky gifts to exchange with friends. To make the party even more interesting, they can swap gifts so that everyone goes home with something.  What's more, they don't have to get something expensive from the shop- it could be that t-shirt that still looks cute or that sandwich maker they hardly use.

Here are 10 gifts for elderly friends to exchange during a White Elephant Party or secret Santa

A Laptop Keyboard Cover With Big Letters

With about $10, seniors can get this perfect gift for their friends who love working with laptops. It creates sweet memories whenever they open their laptops to type something or watch their favorite documentaries. The big letter makes typing easier and fun.

Fancy Flower Jars

For seniors who love nature, gifting a friend with a fancy flower jar would be a great idea. They can plant their favorite flowers and keep the flower jars indoors or outdoors, and appreciate the gift whenever the flowers bloom.

Portable Speaker

Seniors who love music will fight over this excellent gift or steal it from a friend. They can listen to their favorite music anytime, anywhere.

Fancy Umbrella

As simple as it may sound, an umbrella would be a perfect gift for anyone. Whenever it rains or gets too hot, such a gift will light up the face of a cherished friend.

3-D Ceramic Coffee Mugs

Sipping coffee from a unique coffee mug will no doubt light up a friend's face. Seniors can get mugs that have cute baby animals at the bottom at approximately $30 and gift their friends during a white elephant party or secret Santa.

Cat-Shaped Eyeglasses Holder

As we age, we may require eyeglasses to make reading much easier and also avoid straining as we watch our favorite shows. Getting a fancy eyeglasses holder can brighten up a friend's day.  They will get a unique and fun way to hold their spectacles when not in use.

Adult Coloring Books

Coloring is therapeutic. For friends with a great sense of humor, this gift will bring a smile to their faces. The books contain motivational quotes and puns to offer inspiration and also offer art therapy through coloring. The elderly can color and create unique renditions inspired by their favorite themes.
