8. Planner and/or Journal
Why they’ll love it: A place to organize their thoughts or reflect at the end of a long day can be super helpful!
Offer the caregivers in your life a little space for organization, self-expression, and reflection!

Some people benefit from having a safe space to share and digest their feelings.
