đź’— What if the most powerful dementia activity wasn't an activity at all?

What if it was a purse?

A recipe card tucked into an apron pocket.

A favorite brooch.

A compact mirror.

A church bulletin.

A postcard saved for decades.

A tiny object carried every day throughout a lifetime.

For many women living with dementia, these familiar treasures can spark something remarkable—recognition, comfort, conversation, identity, purpose, and connection.

Familiar Things: Familiar Feminine Everyday Carry & Pocket Treasures is a one-of-a-kind object-based engagement program designed specifically for women's groups, memory care, assisted living, family visits, one-to-one interactions, and bedside work.

Inside you'll discover 48 fully scripted object experiences built around the familiar items women used, carried, organized, treasured, and relied upon throughout everyday life.

Explore six powerful themed sections:

👜 Purse Essentials & Everyday Handbag Memories

đź’„ Beauty Bag & Getting Ready Treasures

🏡 Kitchen Drawer & Homemaking Treasures

đź§µ Sewing Basket & Creative Hands Memories

⛪ Church, Social Club & Community Memories

đź’Ś Keepsake Drawer & Treasure Box Memories

Every experience includes:

✨ Step-by-step facilitator instructions

✨ Dementia-friendly adaptations

✨ Bedside modifications

✨ Therapeutic benefits

✨ Low-pressure engagement strategies

✨ Meaningful object exploration

You'll also receive family engagement activities, facilitator guides, bedside support materials, dementia adaptation strategies, grab-and-go activities, conversation collections, documentation tools, object profiles, quick-reference resources, supply guides, rotation schedules, and 100 additional familiar feminine objects for endless programming possibilities.

Unlike traditional reminiscence programs that rely heavily on memory recall, this resource focuses on something deeper—familiarity.

Because even when names, dates, and details become difficult to access, the feeling of holding a familiar object often remains.

A purse.

A button tin.

A favorite piece of jewelry.

A handwritten recipe.

A treasured keepsake.

Sometimes the smallest objects carry the biggest stories.

And sometimes those stories are still waiting to be discovered. đź’—
