I gave it to her early. She put the cane between her feet, one hand on each handle, and stood straight up off the couch.

Nobody pulled her. Nobody reached for her. She just got up, and laughed.

Two days later she texted me:

That's the real present. Not the cane. Her getting up on her own again.

👉 See the gift I got her

If your mom or dad does any of these, you'll recognize it straight away:

• Both hands. She needs both hands on the arms of the chair to push herself up.
• The rock. She rocks back and forth a few times to build up enough momentum to stand.
• Reaching. She grabs whatever's close by. The table, the counter, or your arm.

None of this means she's frail. Getting out of a chair is the hardest part of her day, and her legs just need something solid to push on.

When you're sitting down, there's nothing at the right height to push on. The armrest is too low. The table is too far away.

StandSecure has a second handle, lower down the shaft, right where her hand is when she's sitting.

She puts one hand on the top handle and one on the lower handle, and pushes straight down. Her arms take some of the weight, so her legs don't have to do it alone.

It was designed by an orthopedist, and it holds up to 250 lb.

It stands up on its own. When she lets go, it stays upright on its four feet, so she never has to bend down to pick it up.

There's a light in the handle for trips to the bathroom at night.

There's an alarm button in the handle, if she ever needs you.

And it weighs less than a pound.

I'll be honest. When she unwrapped it, she raised an eyebrow at me and said, "Honey. I am not that old."

Now she tells everyone she said that before she tried it.

The lower handle folds flat against the shaft, so when she's out it just looks like a regular cane. And it comes in black, blue or purple.

It doesn't tell her she's getting old. It just lets her keep doing things herself.

StandSecure comes in two adjustable heights, Short and Standard. Together they fit people from 4'10" to 6'5".

There's one rule: under 5'9", get the Short. 5'9" and over, get the Standard.

Most moms are under 5'9", so the Short is already selected for you on the next page. If you're buying for Dad, just check whether he's 5'9" or over.

No measuring tape, and no spoiling the surprise.

More than 30,000 people already use one.

It comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee, and the 60 days start when it arrives. So even if you order now, she has weeks after Christmas to try it at home.

If it isn't right for her, you get a full refund.
