Retirees aren’t the easier people to shop for, especially around their birthdays. After all, many already have what they want. Some have too much and are looking to downsize.
But that doesn’t mean you should skip the gift-giving this — or any other — year. And where better to shop for birthday gifts than the place that seemingly has it all: Amazon. Whether you’re looking for something fun, functional, funky or simply unique, Amazon’s got something for everyone.
Nothing’s quite like a 30-pound weighted blanket when it comes to relaxing at home. This one comes in weights ranging from seven to 30 pounds. It’s also available in several sizes and over a dozen colors.
Each blanket is made from cotton and has a breathable outer layer. Even better is that they’re machine washable. Just make sure you use a gentle cycle.
A double-wall, vacuum-insulated tumbler like this one is perfect for keeping hot beverages hot and cold ones cold. It’s also got a comfortable grip and can hold up to 20 ounces of liquid.
What makes it a great birthday gift for retirees, especially newer ones, is that it’s themed. This particular option has the phrase, “Retired Under New Management See Grandkids For Details” on it, something that’s bound to inspire a few laughs or smiles. If you know someone who’s retired and also a grandparent, there are also themes for that.
