Sometimes when a loved one is diagnosed with Dementia, or simply starts showing the symptoms, it can make us sad. Instead of feeling completely defeated, we can buy them a gift that shows and reminds them of our love for them. Giving a loved one a gift can lift your spirits like nothing else, and in a time where Dementia is making itself known, we all need that uplifting!
