Gift for Seniors....Things With Big Numbers and Letters

Do you have a friend or relative who is a senior citizen? If you do, you might be interested in checking out these great products with large numbers and letters, for seniors.

Although some of these things were designed with seniors in mind, they are also suitable for just about anyone who likes being able to easily read things, without having to put on their glasses, and squint and strain to focus.

I'm getting closer to being in that age group that would make me a senior, and I can see the advantages of some of the products listed below. I also know that some of these things would be helpful to my mother, who is getting up in years. Anything we can do to make life a little easier for the seniors in our lives, is a good thing.

One thing that everyone, regardless of age uses, is a clock. I find myself looking at one many times each day.

Even though I'm technically not a senior, I find that it is easy to forget the date. I even have to think for a second, to remember what day it is sometimes. With an Oversized Digital LED Calendar Clock, you can have that information handy when you need it. If you have a friend or family member who has trouble remembering the day of week, or the date, one of these would make a great gift.

Talking Medication Reminder Clock

Many older people have health issues. As a part of medical problems, they often have to take multiple medications. When you have to take one medication 3 times a day, and another twice a day, and a third 4 times a day, it can be pretty hard to keep track of.

The little 4 Alarm Talking Reminder Clock below, can help with remembering to take their medications. It can be useful for people who are caring for an older person also. Once set, it can remind users up to 4 times a day, when it is time to take medication. It will give the reminders, in a "friendly female voice".

You can choose just the reminder alarm, or the entire organizing system. They get pretty good reviews, so before buying, I would recommend reading the reviews, to see if it would suite your needs.

Keyboards With Large Letters

Many seniors are venturing out on the world wide web. Some are using keyboards for the first time, and some are even learning to type for the first time.

My own father was 77 years old, when he decided that he wanted to learn how to type. I bought him some software that could help him learn, but at the time, I didn't know about the keyboards with the large easy to read letters and numbers. Even those who already know how to type a little, often need to hunt and peck, and being able to easily see the letters, will make that a lot easier.
