Pajamas, perfume perfume and candy don't quite seem to adequately convey the words, "I love you." This year, the Pet Information Bureau suggests a gift of love for grandparents -- a pet. Pets are an excellent excellent choice for the older person whose children have grown up and moved away. And, not only do they offer unlimited companionship, but they also provide owners with an always-understanding ear. Recent research results indicate that pets can help people stay healthier and live longer. Because pets are so gentle, gentle, non-judgmental and friendly, they're often able to break through feelings of loneliness and anxiety and shower us with unconditional love. Before going out to buy a pet for grandparents, it is important to consider consider their lifestyle and what kind of pet would be best. For example, seniors living in apartments or small homes might not be able to handle a large dog. And, grandparents who are active and frequently not at home would probably prefer a pet that requires requires minimal care. Birds are ideal pets for busy, active grandparents living in small apartments. apartments. These lovely feathered creatures are attractive, friendly and only need a few minutes of attention each day. Doves, lovebirds, finches and cockatiels make wonderful pets, as do "talkers" such as parakeets and canaries which are fun to train. Grandparents and grandchildren will spend endless laughter-filled hours trying to teach the new bird how to recite a poem or to just say "hello." If Grandma and Grandpa maintain busy schedules that don't allow them to spend much time at home, an aquarium set-up fully stocked with fish is a wonderful gift that will fit perfectly into their everyday routine. Fish are inexpensive and easy to care for, and their beauty and color make them relaxing and pleasant to watch. . In fact, results from research tests have shown that observing fish in an aquarium can actually lower blood pressure and reduce stress. Dogs and cats are still the most popular choice for pets, and certainly they're favorites among people of all ages. For older adults on the go, cats are easy to train, cuddly and require very little space. Dogs, on the other hand, generally need more attention, but the amount of love the owner receives makes canines invaluable ad- Video movie system is all-in-one gift Searching for the perfect gift for that home video enthusiast on your holiday holiday shopping list who wants the latest technology wrapped up in a compact, lightweight package?
