At this time of year people are often searching for gift ideas for loved ones with dementia. They already have all the clothes they need. And they aren’t able to pursue hobbies and other activities they used to enjoy. Here are some suggestions for gift books for people with dementia:


  • A coffee table book on a topic that interests them.

  • Adult coloring book.

  • A book of simple poetry with illustrations.

  • Memory book of special photos.

  • A book of short-short stories.

  • A photo book about a hobby they've enjoyed.


Be sure to wrap it. Sometimes it’s the simple pleasure that comes from opening a gift that counts the most.
