If any of you are struggling for a neat gift for old folks, I have a super idea. We have a long, dark hall. The overhead light was too bright for a night time excursion to the facilities including the refrigerator. Not turning on the light was not an option. Old folks misjudge distance and break toes and eyeglasses. So! I found a motion-sensitive light that only needs four C batteries. No electrical major production required; just one nail. It is installed over the end of the hall and gently lights up for 12 seconds. It really tickles me to be able to see where I'm going without waking the whole household and I don't risk breaking any bones. We may have to re-aim ours since the Yorkie has discovered that he can turn on the hall light and it is big Fun. Just thought you might be hunting for a gift for an old biddy that she wouldn't rewrap and put under the bed. Polly
