20 Best Gifts For Elderly Women (2023 Updated)

I first used this during my mid twenties when ANR was still the original formula – before it underwent god knows how many reincarnations. Back then I used to find it would help a little with the odd acne mark that would appear every few weeks but did little else for my skin concerns.

I was primarily using it in the hopes of some sort of defense against future ageing, but I can’t say whether or not it achieved anything, as once the bottle ran out I started using other products and then recently thought why not give it another go? So onto the latest version ‘Synchronized Recovery Complex’ which I tried earlier this year.

I don’t know if it’s the fact that ‘Tocopherol Acetate’ (Vitamin E) has been pushed down to 30th place on ingredients list (used to be 13th), or whether it’s because ‘Retinyl Palmitate (an ester of Vitamin A) has been completely removed from the new version, but this one didn’t do anything for acne marks whatsoever and I used it for over a month.

It makes sense as both of those ingredients, especially Vitamin A in any form, are known to help fade marks. Add to that a whole host of new and unpronounceable ingredients and that probably explains why if anything I’d experienced even more breakouts when using this.

although which one (or more) of the many new ingredients is the culprit I couldn’t say! Not sure why they just couldn’t let a good thing be and have to change/ruin it? Edit: Have recently tried ANR, again but for a shorter time period and somehow this time around it did show a difference on a small acne mark on my chin, not as significantly as with the original formulation back in the days, but definitely more than when initially using.

Not sure if its potency increases over time or if there’s some other logic behind it. -> My ‘Ulta Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Ulta) < - < 1.

Oh boy, I really didn’t want to love, or even like, this product because of its price. I’m a seasoned veteran of all things skincare, makeup, cosmetics etc. and have practiced good lifelong habits to preserve my “youthful glow” (currently in my 60s ;).

Everything from K beauty, ceramides, peptides, premium as well as new and advanced drugstore offerings (and daily use of sunscreen of course). I am an obsessed label reader too, and ANR has some kick butt active ingredients in it.

Without going into too much detail here, this Estee Lauder ANR has done the following for me in its first 30-60-90 days – smoothed the texture of my skin, faded dark spots, made fine lines and wrinkles appear less noticeable, gave my skin a healthy glow, didn’t break me out.

Have any of my other cosmetic preparations done this? Yes. But, not as well, and that’s the fine point here, this ANR is just plain better than the rest. Does it justify the high price tag? Well, yes, in my opinion, even though I’m not rolling in dough, far from it.

I feel more attractive and happy when my face looks it’s best, blessed with good genes hasn’t hurt, but let’s face it in your 60s your skin just needs more attention. I use this serum every night after washing my face apply enough to cover my face and neck (and hands with the leftover) and proceed with an extra step (though not necessary), I apply an additional peptide serum (Ordinary matrixyl or Buffet) over it kprobably more out of habit), then apply a rich, ceramide-based moisturizer, and off to bed.

It’s gentle on my dry sensitive skin, no eye stinging, It can also be used in the a. m. , which I’ve done before, over my L ascorbic acid serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (works beautifully under makeup), but I’ve since just been using it at night because of its cost.

Either way, once or twice a day, this is an amazing product that works. I’m always on the hunt for it to be on sale, since it has become a staple in my skincare routine and don’t wish to be out of it at all.

Definitely recommend.

Was given this set as a gift. I love the presentation, I love the UNIQUE products included compared to the other traditional “gift sets” that FLOOD Christmas time for women everywhere. My ONLY question is ….

Is this lavender basket safe for sensitive skin? Especially the bath bomb? Are the products considerate towards a lady’s PH balance?.

The basket is really nice but the products leave a lot to be desired. The scent is very light. I barely tell it’s lavender. The shower gel, I have to pour a lot onto my life to get a lather. I had to pour almost half the bottle of bubble bath to get suds.

The lotions are okay. Again, a very faint scent.

All three items were given to different people for Mother’s Day and I was told everyone adored them. Especially, the lavender pocketbook. I usually make my own baskets but due to so many funerals, I ordered them from your company and explained to the people what had occurred.

All three were lovely!!.

The product is fairly effective, that is to say as long as your particular bladder only holds 1/4th of a cup of urine. I think that they COULD be better, most women who have these issues don’t go to dance parties or spend their evenings at the ball game or at the movies or a play; they have stopped all that activity long ago.

You simply can NOT enjoy going anywhere if every minute you’re concerned that the contents of your bladder is going to be all down your legs. It’s outrageous that this company cannot invent something better!! And then, there’s the issue with availability….

IF they could only get it to the store shelves or get it to the warehouse at HDIS (where I purchase them). It’s just like I say regarding hot flashes••• if MEN had to deal with these issues, the problem would have been solved LONG ago!!!They’re out of stock a lot, causing a search of stores, which is the opposite of what ordering online is designed to avoid, and Walgreens or Walmart rarely have the Night Defense….

Makes no sense. Everyone blames every problem on COVID, but this issue existed PRIOR to COVID. Also, it would be helpful if they stamped the size on them; they can omit the little flowers and put the size.

We have ordered several sizes over time, and once they’re out of their plastic bag, it’s anyone’s guess as to the size.

The pad becomes completely detached from the front of the panty on everyone I put on. They are not made where the pad is part of the underwear, in the crotch area. The body of the panty is made without the pad being a part of the panty.

The panty is attached after the panty is made and, it is not supported in the crotch from underneath. It is attached with a very weak tacky substance, to the front of the panty. It becomes detached very easily and, cannot be reattached.

I even tried using a strong adhesive tape, to try to attach the pad back to the panty. It would not stay attached Pretty much a useless product.

For an elderly lady who is in constant need of diapers, and after trying several brands and comparing price and effectiveness, this Depend Night Defense has become a regular purchase. I must confess that this loving lady uses more than one each time, but only one night defense at the end of the group.

What can I say? The more the merrier when it comes to unpredicted accidents. Night Defense is slightly more expensive but compliments the strategic attempt to save everyone from an unwanted mess, cleaning it I mean.

4 Stars.

The length of the rope needs to be longer. You cannot use it correctly if you have short(er) arms. There’s no way you can use them while seated.

If you’re doing physical therapy and want to continue your exercises at home or in a non-clinic setting, this is great for that. It doesn’t do door damage but make sure you do lock or latch the door when using it.

Great for arm, shoulder and upper back rehab and exercises.

This is exactly what I needed to do specific exercises required by the physical therapist. It needs to work on the side of the door and over the top for working different muscles. The best feature is the ability to adjust the length of the ropes.

This assortment was very delicious and the tin was absolutely adorable! My only complaint was that it went too quickly and I wished that it was double the size! This would make a great gift for a single person on your list who loves chocolate! The product was very fresh and I would absolutely buy this again, but maybe double up on the order! You can never have too much chocolate!.

butter toffee crunch and chocolate great. but butter flavor was too strong. Chocolate covered nut and plain chocolate also good. Prefer dark chocolate, so an offer of dark chocolate or a mix would have been good.

Just an FYI. Still good but can be better.

The only brand of probiotics I trust are the ones that need to be kept refrigerated, and Klaire Labs is one of them. They have many other supplements and is a brand I recommend without hesitation. It is a brand that is recommended from our family chiropractor and has so many benefits.

One of my kids does not swallow the capsules, and even though they are easily digested, it is also very easy to open and pour the content in whatever my child is drinking. Allergen free, which is a great option for our family because we are a peanut, gluten, soy and dairy free family.

Just keep in mind as this is usually kept refrigerated, do not pour in any warm food or drink.

I love this probiotic. It was recommended by my doctor but I was leary due to the price of it. It is so worth it for me! I hate that I waited so long to try it. I have only been taking it for a couple weeks but already my stomach is much happier for it.

It does not “talk” as much as it used to and I do not feel as bloated and miserable as previous. My bathroom habits have improved greatly as well. The product arrived with an ice pack and thermal envelope.

It was not cold but was cool(it is still summer like heat here). Still good to use. I will order from Blue Sky again for my next round of probiotics.

This Klaire Labs probiotic has helped me tremendously. I have leaky gut and this has been an instrumental part in my healing. I’m 29 years old, and I developed severe cystic acne, digestive issues, food sensitivities, severe lethargy, mild depression within the first couple months of 2017.

It took me until April to put all the pieces together and figure out that I had leaky gut, after which I quickly began a healing protocol: a whole foods plant-based diet, elimination of all the foods I developed sensitivities to, a glutamine powder supplement, and this probiotic.

My naturopath doctor recommended Klaire Labs as a very high quality and potent probiotic for me. I’ve been steadily improving since April and am finally feeling like myself again! I know this probiotic was an instrumental part of that.

I had to get a big dose of antibiotics when I had a cyst removed at the end of August, which really set me back in terms of my gut biota balance. I felt miserable for about a month – intense food cravings, depressed mood, digestive issues again, etc.

The experience made it very clear how much a daily dose of this probiotic has done for my gut biota and how much the ratio of good/bad gut bacteria can affect a person’s health and well-being! I am so grateful for this product, and even though it’s far from inexpensive, I plan to use this or another high-quality probiotic for years to come.

It’s clear to me that my health has to be a high top priority and taking a probiotic like this one is an important part of that.

The keychain is nice, but I spent extra on the box and am disappointed in it. The inscription on the box is small and not centered. It is also not as deep as anticipated and because of the way the box is burned, which looks nice and adds depth, the small depth of the name makes it very difficult to even read it.

I would have been much more satisfied had I just bought the keychain. It is a nice weight and I like that the visor moves on it. The initials engraved on the helmet look nice and are noticeable and easy to read.

Firstly I want to say that I am amazed at how affordable this quality, super cute item was! The box is also adorable and I couldn’t have asked to receive any better items! The quality is just perfect! The keychain itself has a great weight to it, not too heavy, not too light.

The engraving is just absolutely beautiful. \n\nEven during the COVID pandemic, shipping was amazing! It got here earlier than projected!\n\nI’m so happy I purchased this for my husband! It’s a beautiful, meaningful gift and he loves it! He’s going to get me one with my initials and we’re going to swap! Thank you so so much!!.

Came not as pictured whatsoever. The box was not even spray painted correctly. Mismatched, uneven, completely different wood quality and product. Lazy and unacceptable. Keychain HAD A BIG SMUDGE ON IT, that did not come off with any cleaner or ammonia.

I have pictures in detail in anyone would like to see. Vendor attempted to claim this was a “bad apple” however as we see this is a small business and not a huge corporate assembly line product, this item passed vendors eye at production and was sent out.

Shocking and bewildering and shows how little she cares about the customers. Very uncommunicative from the start, would not answer very simple questions. Negative unhappy unprofessional attitude shows she is not ready to be in business whatsoever.

Finally got refund ONLY after threatening to file with FTC as online scam.
