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 great outdoors collection brings the outdoors indoors, along with the memories of the great times spent in the woods, the water, or wherever makes your heart happy. Whether paddling your canoe, building a campfire, baiting a hook, or sitting in your hunting blind waiting for the perfect shot...there is something for everyone. The instrumental background music matches the mood or activity level of each video. Videos are slow changing slideshows of photos and video shorts with an easy to use menu.
