Prime Day Guide for Senior Citizens

Wednesday, July 9, 2025 1:33

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I find it’s difficult to give a meaningful gift to older relatives in the family.

Most older people already have everything they want. They do NOT want some cute decorative item that is a dust catcher, a food item not keyed to their dietary restrictions, clothes that may not fit or be to their taste, things that don’t fit their lifestyle, etc.

The gift of last resort is usually a generic gift card, but wouldn’t it be nice to give something the recipient would really appreciate?

Most senior citizens are on fixed incomes so giving something they would enjoy but don’t buy for themselves is a good thing.

Also, giving something they ordinarily buy to relieve some of their monetary stress. Let’s focus on those 2 areas—wants and needs—with this post for seniors or for those who give presents to seniors.

PRIME DAY DEALS FOR OLDER LOVED ONES

1. First up is a Prime Membership Gift. This will allow the gift recipient to:

stream music, movies, and TV series
get free shipping on most products
read free from a rotating selection of ebooks and magazines
get exclusive deals and discounts especially on Prime Day
store unlimited quantity of photographs with Amazon Photo
save 10¢ per gallon at participating gas stations when you link a Prime account
Grubhub+ free delivery on orders for a year
Amazon Pharmacy for fast, free delivery on prescriptions
Membership Sharing of some benefits with another adult in your household, and
Prime Access—Discounted membership for those receiving government assistance.

2. Audible Membership will be a blessing to an older adult who loves to read but who may be visually challenged.

3. Kindle Unlimited Membership is great for an older adult who reads but who needs large print books.

With a Kindle or Kindle Reader app on a cell phone, the text can be made so big that it’s better than a large print book.

If you don’t want to give a Kindle, a little pricey if you don’t take advantage of today’s Prime Deals, then look at #4 below.

4. For Low Vision Seniors, a Prime Day Deal, Large Magnifying Glass that offers a full page view with Cool and Warm Light with 3 Modes and a Folding Handle. Reduced from $22.99 to $15.49. This will help in reading books, magazines, and newspapers. It might even help in viewing the monitor display.

5. Gift of Health Supplements since many senior citizens take health supplements to counter the aging effects. I’ll mention the ones Darling Hubby and I have taken for many years.

DISCLAIMER: This is not a recommendation for you to take them. I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist. Do your own research. If you have any kind of medical condition, ask your doctor before taking any supplement or starting an exercise program.

We want to be like the happy senior citizens in the photo at left—happy, healthy, strong, and with full possession of our mental faculties.

That’s why I think there’s a place for supplements and why I always research everything before adding it to our supplement list to make sure it is safe and has proven effective in double-blind studies.

(I YouTube channels focused on medical and health information like Dr. Brad Stanfield, a real doctor, not someone who posts scraped content from other channels.

I also highly recommend a medical teaching channel staffed by researchers and doctors called MedCram.

Having given all those disclaimers, here are supplements we actually take which are on sale as I write this.

Vitamatic Colostrum

For healthy immune system. Reduced in price today.

Nutricost Taurine

We started this a year ago after watching several doctors’ videos about the health benefits to body and brain. It’s a Prime Day Special.

Zebora CoQ10

We’ve taken this for 20 years. Supports heart health and energy.

Nutricost K2 + D3

A lot of people take Potassium and a lot take Vitamin D3. Many do not know that taking them separately does little good. They need to be taken in combination. That’s what this K2+D3 is.

6. Heating Pad for Neck Shoulders & Back Pain Relief

Yes, older people have aches and pains. This heating pad may help bring relief from the stiffness and aches in hard to relief muscle groups in the shoulders and back.

7. Last but not least, give a YouTube Premium Gift Subscription via a Google Play Gift Card—I’ll explain that below. Millions of videos that educate, entertain, and offer armchair vacations in technicolor.

Staying interested in life is one thing every senior citizen needs especially when family is far away, friends are now fewer in number, and physical llimitations often prevent getting out into the world.

YouTube Premium gives a commercial free experience for $13.99/month, about $170 for a year, much less than Netflix!

(Watching without ads/commercials is why we subscribe to YouTube Premium.)

You can’t directly give a YouTube Premium subscription. What you do is give a Google Play Gift Card for the amount you want to give, and your recipient then uses the gift card to purchase YouTube Premium. Do it and help your senior set up the subscription. Google Play gift cards come in digital and printd forms.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

Really give some thought to gifts for the older relatives in your life. They’ll deeply appreciate your time in finding something they wanted and/or needed.
