For the Cost of Shipping, a Cane
On our SharingStore.com classifieds website, you'll find a gently-used cane sporting a beautiful nautical design. And, amazingly enough, it can be in your house for just the cost to ship it to you. You can view the ad here.

Share to Win
You have until Thursday, February 10th, 2011 at 3 p.m. ET to enter the latest Facebook contest sponsored by The Alzheimer's Store. Here's how the contest works: Pick a product from http://shop.alzstore.com that you found to be most helpful. It also could be a product that you think could help someone in your life. Post a link to this product on the store's Facebook Wall. This will act as your entry. The entry that gets the most "likes" on our wall will win and the winner will receive the Memory Phone ($64.95 value) for free. Join the store's Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Alzheimers-Store/36484312834 (Even if you don't enter the contest, consider joining the fan page to read reviews of products that may help you.)

A Sale for Your Outfit Art
Judith, who blogs on Caregiving.com and cares for her husband, looks at what she wears as pieces of art. Her ability to put together a beautiful outfit inspires us to take time on our own appearance. Today, Macy's is having a one-day online sale. And, you can save an additional 25% in its clearance sale. You just might find your own work of art. Shop here.
Keep Yourself in Movies
Try Netflix for free and bring the world into your house. Cabin fever runs rampant in February (at least for me) and sometimes I want more than a good book. A good movie typically does the trick. And, if it's a good movie delivered right to my computer or my mailbox... well, what could be better? If you're looking for recommendations for good movies, you can read our Movie Monday reviews here. (You'll also note that Monday moves around the week at bit.)

Team T-Shirts Say "Thanks"
Do you have a team who helps in your caregiving role? Perhaps you rely on two or three home health aides, a Meals on Wheels volunteer, a neighbor and a few family members to help you. How do you thank them? You can create a personalized t-shirt for them for Valentine's Day at Cafe Press. And, if you spend $100, you save $25 when you use coupon code ROSES at check-out. Sale ends tomorrow. Shop here.
