My in-laws were visiting for Christmas and I made sure that Santa came here for them. They were appreciative of all of their gifts but complained of having to get them back home with them on the plane. (They ended up leaving a bunch of them here.) One of the select few that they took home with them was this shoe horn. My 85 year old father-in-law won't even try to put his shoes on without it now. He can use it sitting or standing and keeps it right by the front door.
