Hello Everyone

I am doing a demo at a Senior Apartment Building. I have been there to meet the host. While I was there the host told me that the youngest person there was 75 so I want to use product that would be easy for them to use, not to heavy, any sugesstions would be greatly appreciated.:)
 
I do a show at a retirement community every year. They don't have lots of space, so they tend to purchase the smaller items. Think about anything that makes tasks easier, especially the Easy Opener. Everyone loves that one!
 
DEFINTELY show the jar opener -- it's great for arthritic hands and easy to use (and can be mounted too).

Quick stir pitcher is also a good one --

Mix and pour (can be great for mixing individual drinks, like metamucil fiber drink) one of my guests uses to make dollar pancakes she said it's the perfect size for an individual portion.

Other ideas -- any of the new peelers because of the ergonomic handles, the can strainer, can opener...

I second the easy opener.

also an i-slice (many seniors clip coupons, etc.)

Also talk up the gift items.
