The Thriftie Awards should take place in multiple cities in multiple states. Let’s start with Minneapolis! Let’s say…June 2025? ❤ Amy from MN😊😂🎉😊😂🎉😊😂🎉

Great idea! I think each state should have their own, then the winners will go to the National Thrifty Awards for Best Thrift Store in the US. Then we can expand to include other countries for the title of Thrift Universe Awards!

For anyone considering the adult bibs, my Mom has been wearing her "pearls" at every meal for some years. She loves them! I think she's got about 10 of them. She's given them as gifts as well and they've been well received. We look at the "pearls" as fun. Like she's dressing up for each meal. Highly recommend.

@@longislandthrifter A few years ago, I gave the pearls and the tuxes to my older nieces and nephews for Christmas to be used for eating boiled crawfish or perhaps to "dress up" when they didn't feel like actually dressing up. Made for a lot of fun Christmas morning. Crawfish juices stain! Also gave one to a friend and she uses it instead of an apron when she cooks.

I love older ppl. I work at a nursing home. These are great ideas but, let me stress that the best thing you can give an older person is your time. They just want to know they are loved, appreciated and valued. Bring a gift but, when you bring it, stay a while and come back often. This seeing them 2-3 times a year on their birthday, Mothers Day and Christmas is not good enough.

As a senior myself, a great gift for me would be pet care like groomer appointments, pet sitting if I must be hospitalized for a few days, pay for quality pet food, pet health insurance or cover the pet's medical costs...Pets are so important to many people. I am no longer able to afford veterinary care for my little old dog. I pray she doesn't get sick or injured!

But also if they fall they just have to crawl or other parent brings to them and super stable so other can help guide but no lifting. Have already fallen and dad helped mom climb up.

My husband who’s been disabled for ten years has tried many of these items. It really depends on your personal limitations to which would be helpful or not. I have had that can opener for years and it’s a great item. We found the manual lift thing was not comfortable to sit on and you have to be able to lift yourself up somewhat in order for it to engage. I could go into business selling all the stuff we bought and tried and ended up not using. I get as much as I can through thrift shops and auctions that way I don’t feel like I broke the bank if they don’t work. Lift chairs have their own issues depending on the persons mobility or lack there of.
