I'm trying to come up with Xmas gifts for my grandparents, thinking of around a $50 budget. Neither of them should be driving anymore, so they should be things they can use/do at home. My grandma had a minor stroke last week and has mobility issues - we purchased a cane and walker for her, are getting house cleaning services and yard care services arranged for them (they're paying, but we're doing the arrangements). My grandpa is hard of hearing and we also just bought him a voice-to-text automatic captioning phone to replace their current landline.I'm already thinking of an easy-open jar opener, because they have one that's like 30 years old and really hard to use and neither of them is any good at opening jars anymore. But I'm thinking they're going to be bored stiff, with no house or yard work and obviously no jobs. We got my grandpa a leather-bound autographed version of Leon Panetta's memoir for his birthday earlier this year and that went over really well, he's really into history and my grandma loves Harry Potter, she has the full hardcover set, all the movies and a set of HP bookends and figurines. They really liked Planet Earth, so I'm thinking of getting them the Blu-Ray set of Planet Earth II, and maybe a puzzle with large pieces so it's easier to deal with? Any other suggestions?TL;DNR - Need in-home entertainment for old people. via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/744xw1/gift_suggestions_80_and_83_yo_grandparents/?utm_source=ifttt
