Recreational Therapists and Activity Directors are gearing up for Senior Citizen’s Day which is August 21st. Some have a fun-filled day planned for their residents that includes games, entertainment, and a special luncheon. Many have purchased small gift items to give to their senior citizens as prizes throughout the day. Of all of the things they have to choose from, custom lapel pins tend to be the most popular.
The reason behind this is simple. People love gifts that they can use. Lapel pins are smart as well as fashionable. They are easy to apply to clothing and hats and can even be worn on a lanyard if a senior citizen has one that they like to wear daily. This allows members of the nursing staff as well as volunteers to see what type of events that the residents participated in.
They also can be used to identify volunteers and other groups visiting the residents. For example, many entertainers come into retirement and nursing homes on a weekly and monthly basis. Honoring these individuals with a special Senior Citizen’s Day lapel pin is a thoughtful gesture. This allows the men and women to actively participate in the celebration and also to show support for the residents who attend their concerts, plays, and other scheduled events.
Custom lapel pins can be created in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. They can include an image or photograph as well as text and can even have glitter, simulated gemstones, and blinking lights on them. If your Senior Citizen’s Day activities have a theme, why not create your lapel pins to match that theme? The men and women that you work with as a recreational therapist or activity director will thank you for your thoughtfulness because they love getting gifts and participating in events.
Senior citizens are our link to our nation and family’s personal history. Show them how much you care about them by ordering custom pins for next year’s Senior Citizen’s Day. This will give you plenty of time to think about the style of pin you want to choose along with the artwork you want featured on your unique and personal gifts.
