So I was told I was not being PC by saying I would like to have more old people items so I am going to say more vintage items :D BUT WAIT THERE ARE EXAMPLES!!!

-- Sporting equipment for the elderly like bingo, shuffleboard, badminton, bocce ball, croquet -- Canes. We have some very pimped out jewel topped ones but I mean the kind that are of real use. -- Walkers. With or without tennis balls to stabilize the wobbliest of vintagers. -- Glasses. We have some but bifocals and really VINTAGE looking ones would be nice. -- Oxygen tanks and breathing masks that don't come from the reading shop :p -- Moth balls... -- Wrinkle Creams -- Diabetic Socks and Orthopedic Shoes -- More plaid...especially bow ties -- Hearing Aids -- Nose/ear hair trimmers

Please suggest additions!!!

It's now not PC to say 'old people'? =|

Anyway, I would not mind seeing these items pop up on site. ESPECIALLY the walker with the tennis balls. The tennis balls are a very important detail.

I wouldn't use vintage, I'd use senior.

Vintage is used for things like phonographs, as a synonym to retro

I'd love to see these items just to see what kind of "VINTAGE" pets people could make around them. :P Hell, I wouldn't mind giving it a go myself. Also, I love glasses so much so any suggestion with glasses is always lovely. I don't really have any additions because everything you listed is great!

Vintage is open to interpretation, methinks, I once saw a picture of a monsters inc VHS tape tagged as "vintage" and I was like wow...

Nonetheless it'd be neat to see these things on site!

Heheh if anything Monsters Inc is "vintage," I must be "ancient"! XD

I love the idea! I'm thinking like stuff along the lines of the Granny Smiths items. And yes, there MUST be a tennis ball walker!

A "vintage" pet would be so much fun! I want one based on the Old Man on Pawn Stars. He is the bomb.

I'm allowed to say old person because I am one. 😃

I think old people items would be a fun addition to the site.

Old people are still relevant. This thread is still relevant

Please give me canes and stuff.

omg yes. I said I wouldn't really use items that make the HA itself look old (like the wrinkles and such) but the clothing suggested here would be very useful to me. I need terrible old man clothes. Especially ones in god-awful plaids and argyles.

I love all the suggestions and support this thread so much. :D

Why can't we say old people? We are people and we get old. I am not vintage. Vintage makes me think of items not people. I guess at 54 I am considered more like middle ages, but with the bad health I have I feel old. I think frumpy dresses, gray haired wigs, stuff to sag and sink your face. Maybe a book "Does you face sink or sag?' and in the description say Or Both? :/. That way it could be readable and a wardrobe item. Maybe a line of dresses called Great Grandma's dresses. The description. "Aw great grandma thinks these are still in style. Shhh don't tell her they aren't." I love your ideas . It is very sweet of you not to want to be offensive. Maybe ol' folks or aging items.

Elderly is good too, I wasn't aware "old people" wasn't PC... so "young people" is clearly offensive now too? (this hyper-correct stuff is getting ridiculous.. oh tumblr lol)... but elder is cool. Vintage also makes me think of old antiquey stuff, which is also cool and something I'd love to see more of but yeah isn't what comes to mind when I think of the older generations.

... that said hells yes bingo. And also a legion of cats. And pigeon feed.

Don't call me "young"! I'm "age-challenged"! :P

Goodness yes, please! I have an elderly character and it's been slow going trying to find some fun and relevant items for her treasure.

A few more possible items: -muscle rub -foot soaking pan -some more scarves like the Peka-Boo Headscarf -cat toys (feather on a stick, ribbon wand) -some more "childs" drawings or any other items that could be from grandchildren

Really enjoying the ideas on this thread!

lol I had no idea 'old people' was so offensive. I guess it depends on where the 'old' line starts and the 'young' line ends. When I was 30, my 10 yr old niece (at the time) told me I was "OLD" so, I suppose it's a relative term. And vintage usually people equate with old stuff, so it applies I think. lol. I mean, we're talking about like, what, 60 years ago? That's old. ^.~ I mean... vintage. hehe. I have no input, but support this, cuz it sounds fun.

"Old people has been reclaimed by some older activists who believe the standard wording of old people lacks the stigma of the term “advanced age”."

I think you're good by saying old people items.

University of New Hampshire would have you use either old people or people of advanced age, and they have an entire bias-free language guide.

I don't see any reason not to have items like this though. I wouldn't be opposed to it.
