There are various websites where you can make your own t-shirt. Select the color, design, quote, graphics, size, material, etc., and gift the t-shirt to make someone’s day.

Senior citizens don’t like going out much, except for probably evening walks. Why not get them indoor slippers? These slippers are comfy and super stylish, perfect for the delicate feet of older people.
