I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

A vase is essential for a life with flowers, isn’t it? Having a favorite vase makes arranging flowers more enjoyable, doesn’t it? Many older adults enjoy growing and appreciating flowers and other plants as a hobby.

If you’re giving a gift to a grandpa or grandma who loves flowers, simple glass vases from the 100-yen shop are recommended.

Vases in the interior decor section or sturdy glasses can also be used as vases.

If you choose a clear vase, you can see the water level, making maintenance easier.

Number Place (Sudoku)

A day when I bought a Sudoku at Daiso on Saturday night and did it [vlog]

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!

silicone steamer

Does it not melt? How about the smell? Easy microwave cooking with a silicone mini pot: Introducing convenient kitchen goods from the 100-yen shop Daiso (DAISO).

silicone steamer

A popular kitchen item that makes quick and easy microwave cooking possible is the silicone steamer.

It’s made of silicone rubber and folds up, so storage is no problem! Since microwaves are essential in many seniors’ households, a silicone steamer would likely be a welcome gift.

Just add chopped ingredients, seasonings, and water, pop it in the microwave, and you’ll have a hearty soup in no time! It’s sure to come in handy for solo lunches as well.

Including a set of recipes with the gift would make it even nicer.

tissue cover

Boxed tissues, as they are, can look a bit too everyday and not stylish at all—kind of bland, right? A tissue case that can elevate the vibe of your living room is a must-have.

You can even find simple tissue cases at 100-yen shops that won’t disrupt your living room’s aesthetic! Plastic ones are lightweight and easy to handle, so they’re great as gifts for seniors.

They’re perfect when you consider how easy it is to replace the tissue box, too.

And with a simple design, the option to customize it freely is another plus!
