Tip: What to get for boomers and seniors

It's getting close to crunchtime if you haven't found a gift for the hard-to-shop-for older person on your list. Perhaps the solution is to head to the websites of two companies that specialize in gifts for the over-50 crowd.

Senior Emporium (senioremporium .com) and Jubilee Celebrations by Wellhaven (wellhaven.com) offer quirky, thoughtful and useful gifts for boomers and seniors. For example, Senior Emporium sells a lightweight rolling shopping cart ($16) that folds up to the size of a pocketbook. And Wellhaven offers picture frames with a poem ($20) that celebrates three, four or five generations of a family.

Both companies say if you order by Thursday, you will get your gifts in time for Christmas or Hanukkah without paying for expedited shipping.
