I cannot think of a single present for my demented parent. They are in a care home, physically able but no short term memory. Last Christmas I went down the tactile route and bought cashmere and silk but the care home can't cope with washing nice fabrics. We also made s memory book with photos and stories but they forgot it was theirs within a second of putting it down.
Change in diet leads to diarrhoea so food treats seem to be out. Poor old parent
