My favorite color would have to be turquoise 😊 it reminds me of mermaids and the ocean 💙

Thanks for the contest 😍

I'd say something hands-on and very pracitcal like a telescope or if you're willing to shell out a lot of cash (or share with your sibling) an astrophotography camera lens (dunno what the cheapest one is) or this https://www.amazon.com/d/Garden-Suncatchers/Amlong-Crystal-Solar-System-Stand/B00THHMU4Q/?pldnSite=1 if he appreciates art and likes to look at things. But a telescope would be best since you said he isn't into sports. That way he can have a physical activity without dealing with sports. I say hands-on is best because this age the kids are all over the internet and a refreshing physical activity is always very welcome and he'll appreciate it a lot if he can do cool stuff about space. I'm glad you're taking note of his interests and you're making sure he keeps it :)

A few ideas:

• if you have craft stores or ceramic painting places, paint a picture frame and put a picture in it of family. Might not be a great idea if her vision is very bad though
  
  
• a crystal pendant (can be in the shape of angel or a bird) that hangs in the window (with suction cup), catches the sun, and makes rainbows in the room (prism). Often called a suncatcher: https://www.amazon.ca/Crystal-Guardian-Suncatcher-Hanging-Multi-8pcs/dp/B0777PC64L
  
  
• a cozy pair of slippers that are easy to slip on and off
  
  
• I know you said nothing too loud but music can be very therapeutic for Alzheimer’s patients. If the nursing home allows, maybe worth getting her a small cheap boombox that just plays CDs and get a CD of music she enjoys. She won’t be able to use it herself most likely but it’s possible the staff wouldn’t mind turning it on every so often. It doesn’t have to be played “loudly” to still be beneficial. My grandma’s nursing home was fine with it even though she had a roommate because they also have TVs in the room and it was no louder than that.
  
  
• Alzheimer’s patients respond well to things that have give a comforting tactile response. So maybe a very soft, stuffed animal to keep in her lap. You said she likes cats so maybe a cat: https://www.amazon.ca/Bearington-Stuffed-Animal-Siamese-Kitten/dp/B0106GRYKQ/ if that weirds you out, a very soft and cozy blanket might give the same kind of comfort. This is an example of a twiddle cat which is meant to be stimulating in the way I am talking about https://www.amazon.ca/Engaging-Activity-Alzheimers-Keeping-Busy/dp/B014X40O54/ but it’s expensive and soft things often work just as well.
  
  
• Offer to paint her fingernails

Love this! Thank you for being so forthcoming and fabulous at the same time.

I’m a lesbian, and coming out wasn’t easy. First off my then foster parents were very active in the church my foster moms mom was a pastor at, I tried to explain to them what I was feeling and knew but they dismissed it as a “phase”. Fast forward to being 18 and under immense pressure to be straight so I could have a roof over my head I hid my girlfriend and ended up with a guy to please my parents, I got pregnant and as soon as I had my son I vowed to never let who I really am get pushed aside. Things didn’t go so well for awhile but once they saw how happy I was by being able to be myself they became more tolerant, now I’m married to a woman and while they sill didn’t come to the wedding they treat her with respect and are still a part of my Life

It might be a sun-catcher - to hang in a sunny window. Here is one that is mire round. https://www.amazon.com/Crackled-Hand-Blown-Glass-Suncatcher/dp/B00AEU84LS

Rainbows.

More specifically, crystals that fill your living space with rainbows when you hang them in a sunny window. $6.

Since you're all in, check out these glass prisms old ships used to use to create light below deck. https://www.amazon.com/Large-Green-Ship-Deck-Prism/dp/B00GB504O0

It’s just ANY incense burner and there is a window prism maker in a window somewhere and the smoke is just going through it.

Or.... what's your price range? Maybe we can chip in and do your shopping.
