Shop for your Senior
Your gifts must fit into the 16” x 12” x 12” box. Please note you cannot use your own box or bag.
Wrap your individual gifts if you like, and place them in the box. DO NOT WRAP THE BOX! There is important info on the outside for our volunteer team. We encourage you to decorate the outside, but please don’t wrap the box or colour over the senior’s information.
Prepare a list of all items in the box and tape this list on the outside of the box on the top flap.
In Sharpie, fill in the indicated space on the outside of the box with:
Your senior’s name
The senior’s ID#
The site ID#
Refer to your profile for this info.
An example of a correctly filled out & decorated box!
Do’s
• Ensure all items fit into the ONE box provided by Seniors Secret Service.
• Ensure all gifts are new. Used items will be removed.
• Include gift receipts where possible, especially for clothing.
• Include activation slip with gift cards – this is important! Sometimes cards don’t activate properly.
• Place all gift cards and gift receipts in a small envelope inside the box, to ensure they are not lost.
• Ensure all clothing is machine washable.
• Sign cards and letters from Santa.
• Feel free to include kid art with your gift, seniors love it!
• We encourage you to decorate your box!
• Need a Tax Receipt? Please do not include these in the senior’s gift. Email a copy of your receipts to: coordinator@seniorssecretservice.com
Dont’s
• Don’t use more than ONE box – all items for a single senior must fit into the provided box.
• Don’t drop off gifts at box pick up locations! Gifts are only accepted at the police stations indicated at Step 3 of this page and only on the specific dates.
• Don’t include candles or alcoholic beverages, unless specifically requested.
• Don’t include live plants or perishable foods. (Store bought cookies and treats are fine!)
• Don’t include your own name or personal information on any items, cards or packaging. (Letters from children are ok)
• Don’t include your senior’s profile in the box. That’s for your eyes only!
• Don’t include your tax receipt information with the seniors’ gift.
