Top Christmas gifts for people with dementia include a Relish Radio and Music Player and A Doro 780X mobile phone, says Alzheimer’s Society in a blog guide for online shoppers.  Among the top stocking fillers, costing less than £10, are a 2022 diary, “cheesy jokes” served up in a brie box “matured in the UK”, and a hobbies conversation game. Other Christmas gift ideas, all available in the Society’s online shop, are “Precious Petzzz” for animal lovers and a Rosebud reminder clock. All profits from the online shop go towards supporting people affected by dementia. www.alzheimers.org.uk
