For many over 60, aging gracefully and practicality are top of mind. There's a new outlook on shopping, too!
Chances are you may have noticed that an elderly loved one is more selective with choosing products, whether it's age-appropriate clothing, an item for their new hobby or a great self-care find. That's why we've rounded up the best gifts for seniors if you're shopping for an anniversary, birthday or just because.
There's a gift on our list that's suitable for wherever they are in life. Are they just entering retirement or well into their twilight years and crave comfort at home?

From a hummingbird feeder and a beautiful poncho they'll never want to take off to a Good Housekeeping Institute-approved pillow, this list has something for every type of senior. While it's a good idea to pinpoint a present that'll make their daily life easier and more enjoyable, we had to sprinkle in some sentimental gifts as well.
