Pam, I have too. I always carry a small note pad in my purse when I go there, slip outside for a moment, and make quick sketches of things I'd like to make myself. I've been tempted many a time to buy things that I don't need!

I bought my FIL a set of those exercise stretch bands. Thay have handles on bot ends, so he will be able to exercise while sitting in his chair, both leg and arms. This will help him to maintain his strength, and hopefully keep him stronger longer! I know he will use rhem, as it's all in the way you present them. "The longer you stay strong, the longer we can kerp you Out of the Nursing Home"!

Sox, undies, and jammy pants, zip up fleece sweatshirts, treats and snacks, a handheld magnifying glass. There are a couple of "Old Times" magazines out there, for those to reminisce about the old days, and I think the oldies would enjoy those too!

My FIL loves Old Spice aftershave, so we always get him some of that.

Mugs that have screw on tops, to prevent spilling, Christmas tangerines, re nice in a gift basket, eady to peel! A nice cozy throw, to pull up over their legs when its cold!

Yes, it's very hard to buy for our older LO's, as the have everything, have no room to put things, and they tend to hold on to gifts of clothing, for a special occasion, that never happens, if they never leave the house! My FIL's drawers are filled with clothing he never has worn, and probably never will!

Slippers! The Oldies wear out a couple pair a year, so they are always a good idea! A new bathrobe, and new towels too!

A gift certificate for house cleaning would be nice, I wouldn't mind receiving one of thos myself!
