# Gifts for aging parents

Give something your parent can enjoy or use. Start with what they want, then choose time together, a keepsake, or help with their papers.

### Record a favorite story

Bring a recorder and ask about one family photograph. Let your parent choose which story to tell.

### Make a family photo book

Label the names and dates together, then print a small book they can keep.

### Plan an easy day out

Let your parent pick the place, pace, and company. Leave room to change the plan.

### Set aside a phone afternoon

Help them find the official account settings they want to review. Let them make each choice.

### Sort one folder together
