Having trouble finding your remote control when you need it the most? The Giant Universal Remote ($40) will bring an end to that little problem.

It requires 4 x AA batteries and will work with virtually all TVs, VCRs, DVDs and cable boxes. Size (in inches): 5-1/2W x 8-1/2L x 2-1/4H.

okay, i am not trying to offend anyone but this actually might be good for older people (or anyone else) who have trouble reading small print — seriously!

You’re absolutely right gigi. It’s kind of the same approach as they’ve taken with the Emporia Life phone.

  I don’t know where to find that specific remote these days, but there are other jumbo remote controls you can buy. This one is only $7.99 at Amazon.com. Another mega remote control is $8.75 at Amazon.com.
  
  However, I’d probably go with this Smart Universal Jumbo Remote with Luminescent Touch Pad. It is just $11.95, which is 80% off the list price of $59.99.
