Original Question

what can you give to and older person who is bored because of injury and having to stay home all day?

Q. what would be some good gift ideas? i mean something that relieves boredom? she`s in her 70s.
thanks.

A. All elderly gals love movies right!? Ask her what her favorite actor/actress is and what her favorite movie and/or series is. Than you can go buy the DVD (Im sure its on DVD/Blueray by now) and a big box of popcorn. Usually the big boxes have about 6 to 12 bags in them. Than cook it up and watch the movie with her. This is just a suggestion. Im 23 and I know that this is something I would love someone to do for me, especially if I were an older women with nothing to do. Thats the only decent idea I can come up with. Another idea is you can buy her some magazines and/or books. Make sure if you buy her a magazine and/or book that you buy one for yourself to so you can do it with her. To spend some time with her.

Do you have a gift idea for an elderly, partially blind grandma?

Q. I love my grandma and she has recently lost all her sight in one eye and only has about half her sight in the other. It's something she isn't used to. Last year I got her a book light/magnifying combo system and some large print books so she would be able to read. Anyone have any ideas for this year? If there's anything you know of that would make this easier on her, that would be wonderful. Thanks.

A. If she likes literature get her some 'Talking Books' that will tell her the stories so she doesn't need all the paraphernalia.

Any Gift idea for Guests for a party?

Q. I am planning for my baby's first birthday... I am throwing a party for all my friends. I want to give them a present for coming like saying Thank you or so...as this will be the first big party I will be throwing. I am excepting elderly ppl too. Can you give me gift ideas for the guests? I am looking for something in $25 range per piece.

A. I recently saw these online and thought how great an idea it was for a favour... they are sachets of coffee that have been personalised for a baby shower. They may be able to create custom made birthday ones for you to give as gifts to your older guests.

For your younger guests perhaps you could decorate noodle boxes and fill them with little treats. There are some stunning scrapbooking papers and embellishments that are available and they are lots of fun to make too!

Good luck!
