The worst thing about most gift lists for seniors is the assumption built into them — that age is the primary thing, that what someone wants at 75 is basically the same as what every other 75-year-old wants. It's not. The person you're shopping for has been themselves for a long time. They have specific tastes, specific interests, things they've cared about for decades and things they've just recently gotten into. The gifts that land are the ones that acknowledge this. Not the giant-print calendar. Not the heating pad that signals you've decided they're fragile. The thing that connects to who they actually are — which is a person, not a category.
