What are some practical gifts for the elderly?

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-01-31

The physical function of the elderly in the family has gradually deteriorated, the hair has changed from black to gray, the movements have changed from walking like flying to the old dragon clock, and the body has changed from straight to stiff, these changes have been seen by us, and the elders are no longer the towering trees that blessed us in childhood, and we need to care more, take care of them, and love them more.

When it comes to gift-giving, the older generation is very arrogant, saying that they don't need it, but they are very happy to receive the gift, and they go to show off this "favor" from the younger generation to their peers, looking at their slightly proud looks, the younger generation also feels warm when they look at it.

But gifts for elders also need to be given correctly, in my personal experience, for example, many gifts are either not liked, or are stored in the wardrobe and under the bed as "heirlooms".

Elders and young people have different concepts of "practicality".

The elderly are not like today's highly socialized young people, I once gave my grandfather a smart watch, hoping to help him measure his heart rate or something, but within a month, he re-wore the "Guangxi old watch", saying that the smart watch could not be used, and the smart watch naturally fell into the hands of other relatives' children. At that time, I felt funny and sad, the funny thing was that my kindness to the old man fell into the hands of a distant relative and child who had never met, and the sad thing was that today's old people can't even use smart watches, and they are completely out of touch with society.

What kind of gift can really benefit the elderly at home and become the "neighbor's child" who is hung up?

If you want to give a gift to your elders, then health is definitely the first consideration.

But first of all, we must exclude health care products, one is that most of the health products on the market are "ripping bamboo" products, just a vitamin C pill can cost you hundreds, if the elderly in the family know that the effect of buying a few hundred yuan is similar to the effect of him eating a few more oranges, he will be distressed;Second, expensive health care products are easy to make the elderly reluctant to eat, keep the expiration date will pass, and there have been cases of the elderly being poisoned by eating expired health care products, so try to avoid it.

I recommend buying a product that can benefit the daily life of the elderly and has high practicality, and an electric toothbrush is very good.

Why send an electric toothbrush?You may hear more about the pain in the legs and hands of the elderly, but rarely hear their complaints about the oral cavity, which is precisely what the elderly are difficult to worry about. The oral problems faced by the elderly are more serious than you think, and many elderly people do not pay attention to brushing their teeth, or they simply have no way to ensure normal brushing and cleanliness. According to the report of "China Oral Health Development Report (2022)", the oral health problems of the elderly are complex, and oral diseases not only have a high incidence, but also have a close relationship with systemic diseases, which is directly related to the life and quality of life and survival status of the elderly.

When most people enter old age, teeth will fall out, gums will recede, etc., the mouth will become sensitive, and brushing teeth with cool water will kill the elderly. Some elderly people will be lazy to brush their teeth, and the intensity of brushing teeth will also be weakened due to age, and food will easily remain in the mouth, resulting in worse and worse oral conditions, and the elderly are generally used to using cheap toothbrushes in the supermarket, and inferior bristle materials will exacerbate the deterioration of oral health.

The deterioration of the oral cavity provides a suitable breeding ground for bacteria, and the situation of the disease entering from the mouth is "vividly and vividly" shown in the elderlyDeterioration of the oral cavity, residual bacteria, and decreased immunityThese not only allow the elderly to wear dentures in advance, but even have the risk of stomach cancer and esophageal cancer.

If you want to send an electric toothbrush, I recommend the Kiwi K5 electric toothbrush.

Kiwi hasTen years of experience in oral care, specially designed for oral services, has its own factory, laboratory,R&D, production and marketing integration,The relevant patents are also exported abroad and authorized to foreign electric toothbrushes, which is an overseas recognition of China's own technical strength of kiwi, and the quality is trustworthy.

But the Kiwi electric toothbrush is different from other electric toothbrushes and is designed forSensitive mouthDesign,More suitable for the mouth of AsiansIt doesn't matter if the elderly have sensitive mouths, and kiwi can also be taken care of.

The kiwi electric toothbrush was the first to be proposedGum protectionConcept of the electric toothbrush brand, i.e. separate care for teeth and gums. The bristles are adoptedDouble plantingtechnology, the inner layer is 015mm short tough hairs that clean stubborn stains on the surface of teethThe outer layer is 0The 02mm fine cilia are responsible for cleaning the dead corners of the mouth deep between the teeth, and can also massage the gums, which has the advantage of being more scientific, clean and caring. The teeth and gums of the elderly are degraded to varying degrees, if the teeth and gums are still taken "one-size-fits-all" bristles, it is not conducive to the health of the elderly's oral cavity.

And there isFive functions, three force adjustments, and fifteen cleaning programsChoose. The oral condition of each elderly person is different, some elderly people's teeth will be a little healthier, if the strength is weak, but can not play a cleaning effect, a variety of functions can be adapted to a variety of oral cavity, as well as strength adjustment, how comfortable to brush teeth for the elderly, choose a suitable gear for yourself. Intelligent damping systemThe existence can make the elderly brush their teeth more worry-free and caring, and correct the wrong brushing behavior of excessive force.

IPX8 waterproofThe safety factor is higher, whether it is the safety of the elderly or the operation of the electric toothbrush, there is no need to worry about water ingress, which is safer and more comfortable.

300 days of long battery life, more suitable for the elderly with poor memory, some elderly people have poor memory, and often forget things, charging sometimes forget to pull out, there will be hidden dangers and risks of electricity, long battery life can make the elderly no longer worry about the power at the same time, more secure, only need to be charged once a year, do not need to charge frequently, high safety factor.

A good oral cavity is also beneficial to the social circle of the elderly. I gave my grandfather an electric toothbrush, and he liked it so much, from being silent in the past, afraid that his chess friends would see his smoking teeth, to now grinning and singing loudly, for fear that the other party would not be able to see his white teethElectric toothbrushes maintain the self-esteem of the elderly, life will be revitalized, the family will be happier, and the family will be more harmonious.

Every festive season, I miss my relatives enough, but also send them intimate gifts, don't let the regret of "the son wants to raise but the kiss does not wait".
