The holiday season is just around the corner, and if you want to save time by avoiding last minute shopping rushes — as well as saving money — getting started on the gift shopping endeavor early might be a good idea.
If you’re in search of the perfect holiday gift for all the seniors in your life — grandparents, neighbors or former co-workers — look no further: Dollar Tree has you covered.
The chain has a slew of gifts that retirees will appreciate, whether these are practical, fun or nostalgic.
Recent retirees appreciate thoughtful reminders of their memories, making a scrapbook or photo album an ideal gift, said Destiny Chatman, consumer expert at TopCashback .
Some slippers provide everyday comfort, and they’re a small luxury that makes the simple act of walking around the house a cozy experience, said Michelle Hensley, CEO of Nifty Package Co .
“Retirees will appreciate the practicality and comfort,” she added.
