How to Celebrate Boomer Bonus Days
Spread Some Cheer at a Senior Center
A fun way to mark Boomer Bonus Days is by visiting a local senior center. Chatting with residents, playing games, or just spending time with them can bring smiles all around.
It’s a day to show appreciation for their stories and experiences, so why not brighten their day with your presence? Bring some snacks or plan a small activity to make it even more special.
Share a Meal Together
Cooking a favorite meal for the Boomers in your life is another great way to celebrate. Whether it’s a family gathering or just a one-on-one dinner, sharing a meal creates opportunities to bond.
You can even ask them to share their favorite recipes from when they were growing up. These little conversations over food can make the day extra memorable.
