“One thing I love to do is treat my grandmother with special treats to brighten her day. Let me tell you a little about Willie Mae…..she is a 78 year old woman who lives by herself in a small town in Tennessee. She is really an “Old School” type of gal, meaning she doesn’t buy herself much and would rather save every penny. She goes to church and the grocery store and that is about it for her travels. The elderly are often lonely and could always use a little entertainment. I often send her things like tea, notepads, small lotions, fun little dollar store gadgets, which pleases her to no end. Then I had a thought…….why not send her a sample bag. Holy guacamole! That was the ticket! She loved going through all the samples, reading about the different products and using all her little samples of fun. She got more enjoyment and entertainment out of that bag than most of the items I have sent her. One thing the elderly like is things for Free and this Sample Bag was full of little things to keep her busy. Even though she may not join in on an opportunity, who knows……she might order a product. This is now going to be something I do in the future and I encourage anyone who has an elderly family member to do the same.”
