Reminiscence therapy is an activity which promotes the sharing of memories and the telling of stories. Favorite Things products help people connect to one another through the reminiscence of their own favorite things. Whether one-on-one or in a group setting, the ability to share life experiences and advice with others enhances our sense of worth and general well-being. Favorite things products stimulate memories through the vibrant pictures and video clips you will find in our photo cards and videos. Our companion activity cards are great conversation starters, promote creativity and create bridging and understanding between generations from our youngest to oldest. By reminiscing about your own and others favorite things, people learn more about each other, form connections, and experience joy and contentment. In doing so, reminiscence can provide a much needed break from the routine, and combat loneliness, and generate happiness. The Homemaker Collection opens conversation and memories of keeping a living space clean while creating those special touches that make it a home. If you learned to sew from a family member, or can recall the smell of clean sheets taken from the clothesline, you will enjoy these videos. The videos are slow changing slideshows of both photos and video clips with an easy to use menu. Soothing and happy background music provides comfort and brings joy to your environment.
