stroke rehabilitation goods
Rehabilitation items that gently support seniors’ bodies make surprisingly practical and reassuring gifts—hard to believe they’re available at 100-yen shops.
From pelvic, ankle, and posture supporters to other aids that enhance stability, these items help with everyday movements and rehabilitation without strain.
They’re lightweight, easy to put on, and encourage natural posture and movement comfortably.
Perfect for birthdays, they’re thoughtful gifts that recipients will genuinely appreciate and say, “I’m glad I used this.”
socks
Socks are a classic gift in senior care facilities—something you can never have too many of.
There are plenty designed with seniors in mind, such as non-slip and thick varieties, making them safe and reliable to use.
Choosing a lovely design to match the season adds a touch of style as well as practicality.
Because they’re used every day, they make a thoughtful gift that’s sure to be appreciated.
They also help with keeping warm and preventing cold sensitivity, making them a heartwarming present that’s certain to please.
smartphone pouch
Many items at 100-yen shops are surprisingly high quality.
Some have thoughtful choices of materials, design, and functionality.
While a few cost slightly more than 100 yen, their quality can be astonishing.
How about gifting a smartphone pouch sold at these 100-yen stores that also carry high-quality items? As we move into an era where nearly everyone has their own smartphone, a case to carry it would likely be appreciated by older adults.
There are many types—some with lots of pockets, some suitable regardless of age or gender—so take your time to choose the right smartphone pouch to give as a gift.
Adult coloring book
Adult coloring books are popular as a hobby, too.
The simple joy of focusing on coloring can be so absorbing that it brings back childhood memories.
They also make great gifts for grandparents who are spending more time at home! Once you start coloring, you get immersed in your own world, which helps relieve everyday stress.
You can even find authentic adult coloring books at 100-yen shops, so be sure to check them out.
They include clear tips on coloring techniques, so beginners are welcome! Pair them with art supplies from the 100-yen shop as a gift, and it’s sure to be appreciated.
Number Place (Sudoku)
Nanpure is a puzzle game also known as Sudoku.
If you like math, you’ve probably played it.
It’s a simple game where you fill a 9-by-9 grid with the numbers 1 through 9 without repeating them.
It’s great brain exercise, so like crosswords, it’s recommended for seniors! Grandpas and grandmas who are used to playing games will definitely enjoy it.
You can find it in the puzzle section at 100-yen shops, so be sure to check it out.
If you give it as a present, play together and have fun!
ornament
Whether classic or seasonal, decorative objets like ornaments can really make a room look lovely! Many older adults also enjoy neatly displaying them.
Even 100-yen shops sell lots of high-quality figurines that don’t look like they only cost 100 yen.
There are many mini-sized ornaments available; they’re cute, don’t take up much space, and would make great gifts.
Some are even more elaborate and come with a base, so be sure to check those out.
Seasonal items sell out quickly, so I recommend buying them early!

cushion
Cushions are handy for all sorts of things—on a chair back, for naps, or as a companion while watching TV.
They also make great gifts because, when wrapped, they look big and luxurious! If you go for a thinner, zabuton-style cushion, you can find one in the 100-yen range.
If you care about appearance, adding a bit more to your budget will get you a perfectly usable cushion for under 1,000 yen.
Be sure to look around and pick something that’s just right for your grandparents!
