Health Care in Canada: Give Gifts that Wish You Well

Give the Gift of a Basket Filled with Personal Care Items – Fill it with their personal bubble bath favourites, candles, a new easy listening CD to set the right atmosphere for a more enjoyable spa experience. A lot of these care products and/or containers are also now made from enviro-friendly ingredients.

Give the Gift of Companion Care – If you know someone who is taking care of another on a regular basis and has no backup relief for themselves, give them a professional who will come in and take over for them. It is amazing what a few hours or the occasional day will do to lift the spirits of that caregiver. Perhaps you and your siblings live a distance from your parents, why not ensure that there is someone regularly spending time with them? This is a wonderful gift to give and receive.

Give the Gifts for Good Measure – To ensure you know your family member is doing all they can to keep track of their health problems and to better manage them, buy them the latest in what they need. From call alert buttons or phone service, a blood pressure monitor or a glucose testing machine.

Give the Gift of Improved Eyesight – Do you know anyone who is no longer able to read their own menu or perhaps one of your parents who appears to no longer be interested in reading? A lot of the Canadian drug stores are now carrying attractive magnified readers which come with fun carrying cases. Slip one of these into their stockings. It will make a difference.

Or, it may simply be that they need to visit an eye specialist and have one of the new tests done. These tests are not covered by our healthcare system. Why not book them an appointment now and pay for the appointment with your own credit card.

Give the Gift of Massage Therapy - There are all different kinds of massage technologies available today. Hot stone stress relief is one of the latest. There are also lots of other kinds specifically geared to your sports injuries and to get you back in the game.

Give them the Gift of their own Massager - Deep muscle relief with heat providing powerful action and variable massage speeds for optimal intensity.

Give the Gift of a Misting Pond – For fresher air, comfort and joy in their own home.

Give the Gift of Pedicures – Taking care of our feet is more important as we age. Pedicures are perfect for those family members who can no longer do their own, perfect for anyone who needs to be pampered. Both men and women truly enjoy the experience.

Give the Gift of an at Home Jet Foot Spa – Combines heat, vibration and water jets to soothe sore feet.

Give the Gift of Reflexology – It is one of those WOW experiences so if you have never tried one, it is time.

Give the Gift of Spa Getaways – Share it with your loved one or let them have the time away from work and being the family caregiver. One overnight stay through to 5 days away. Most have their own chefs and offer gourmet choices of healthy vegetarian, organic or spa meal specials.
