Cooper Lighting HS8 Motion Regent Night Light
Amazon Price: $16.47 (as of 07/13/2009)
Late night trips to the bathroom can post a risk of falling while walking in the dark. A nightlight is the obvious solution, but do you really need the light on all night? A motion activated nightlight will turn on when you sit up, and stay on as you walk to the bathroom. Put another in the hall to light the way.

Amazon Price: $25.94 (as of 07/13/2009)
A reacher is always handy to have around the house.
When choosing a reacher, I would recommend avoiding the foldable ones, and the ones that you can lock closed. They simply do not last as long. I also prefer the ones with suction cups on the ends as they grab most items of various shapes.
