On The Third Day of Christmas ...

... let me suggest something for dad -- his own, widescreen television for watching sports without disturbing anyone else in the room. It may look whacky and sound expensive at $299, but it's definitely a unique gift, once again from First Street for Boomers and Beyond (click here).

Here's what they say about these TV glasses:

Hard time hearing and seeing TV? Then these videoglasses will be big news for you!

If you love TV but your screen no longer seems big enough or the sound no longer seems loud enough, then solve both problems at once with these widescreen videoglasses. Welcome to the world of widescreen viewing, where the glasses become your TV, with a picture that looks as large as a 55" screen - and so inexpensively, too. Just plug it into your cable box, portable DVD player, or video iPod® and enjoy big-screen viewing with extraordinary resolution. These videoglasses are a great way for those with vision problems to see TV larger and better. There are earbuds as well, so you can turn up your individual sound to the level that suits your hearing. Comes with a 20' cord and requires one "AA" battery (included).
