Shortbread
Shortbread is one of the most loved treats, especially for the elderly. Why not make some extra, put it in a little bag tied with a colourful ribbon and drop it off to an elderly person in your neighbourhood? If you can afford the time, stay for a cup of tea to enjoy some conversation too!
