Holiday shopping for your parents or grandparents doesn’t have to be stressful! In my quest to deliver the best of the net to adults 50 years old and better, I’ve come across great holiday gifts for the boomers and seniors in your family! From the latest in non-stick baking and interactive gaming to gift ideas that protect, serve and pamper, I can help you find holiday gifts that are sure to bring comfort and joy to the special boomers and seniors in your life!

Software for her computer.  She might enjoy a great game or two. Bridge, anyone? I recommend the Bridge Baron.  But make sure the program your choose is compatible with her PC or Mac.

Paper shredder. This practical and relatively inexpensive gift will help protect her from identity theft by ensuring that all of her important documents (credit card numbers, signatures, bank information) are disposed of safely.

Fun and fitness on the Nintendo Wii. Play tennis, baseball, golf, bowling and boxing on this unique interactive gaming system. The Wii Fit offers ageless fun and entertainment including lessons on yoga, balance, and strength.  Plus, it’s great for when the grandkids and great-grandkids come over.

Over-the-bed table on casters.  Mom can comfortably have her morning coffee and newspaper (or crossword puzzle) in bed.

A funky new tote.  Use it for shopping and do your part to save the earth by sparing plastic bags. I’ve found some fashionable handmade bags on Etsy.com.

Donation to a charity in her honor. JustGive.org provides an easy and secure way to support your favorite charities during the holidays. 

Baker’s Edge brownie pan. This nonstick baking pan adds two extra crunchy (not burnt or gooey) edges to each serving. And it’s a really cool gift if you want mom to make YOU brownies!

Swivel seats for the car. With a turntable base, this lightweight and portable seat makes getting into and out of the car easier and helps prevent any unnecessary straining of the back and hips.

Towel warmers.  What could be better after a hot shower than a toasty towel awaiting you?

Floor standing magnifier lamp.  When vision isn’t what it used to be, you can “see” your puzzles, books, and needlework effortlessly.

Question by dylan: Any good ideas for articles to go in a school newspaper?
I’m a junior in high school and I’m in Newspaper. It seems like we are running out of ideas for interesting articles. We have enough things in there about just current events and upcoming holidays, I’m looking for ideas more along the lines of something that would fill up a page and give the reader insight into something or even make them laugh. I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

For people who may have found this because they themselves were looking for ideas, I’ve written stuff/seen articles written by classmates about:

*A Tribute to The Beatles (basically the history of any popular band)
*America’s Caffeine Addiction
*Texting & Cell Phone Clichés
*Several Book/Movie/Album/Videogame Reviews
*Faces in the Crowd (ask a funny question to students, quote their answer, include face shots)
*Weird New Technology
*This or That (poll a classroom with “this or that” questions, include questions, possible answers, and winning answers)
*A Humorous/Informational Look at Social Networking Websites
*How Your Job Can Interfere with School
*Fictional Short Stories (great way to quickly fill up a page)
*Something each issue over any current/upcoming holiday
*Crossword Puzzle/Word Search (if you really need something to fill half a column. You can have these made for you online)
*The Dangers of Tanning/Piercing/Tattoos
*Spotlight on a student active in the community, or foreign exchange student
*Get to Know Your Lunch Ladies (made everyone lol)
*Weird New Laws in Your State

Just think about anything that YOU would want to read about!

-Sex issue at Valentine’s Day with relationships, sexuality, safe sex, STI’s, etc–Controversial especially if you live in a conservative city, but GUARANTEED to get people’s interest!

-Personal advice column with common teen issues
-Fashion column where you profile a different student every issue, showcasing clothes, jewellery, etc–Great to raise appreciation of all the styles out there!
