Best Valentine's Day Gifts for People Living with Chronic Illness or Disability
Valentine's Day is an amazing time of year to show someone you love them, but what gifts really say I love you? They might not be the most obvious but we have rounded up the very best presents for anyone living with a disability or chronic illness that will really show some love!
Luxury bath products, from £25
Either bath oil or bubbles are a gorgeous way to give someone you love a pampering treatment at home. For people living with limited mobility who use either walking sticks or crutches to walk, keeping legs warm due to low circulation can be a struggle. A hot bath before bed is a great way to combat cold legs as well as helping to switch off and relax before bed. We love This Works Deep Sleep Lavender Bath Oil, £38.40 and Neom Bedtime Hero Bath Foam, £25
Weighted Blanket, £59.40
A good quality weighted blanket is a game changer! Tried and tested, known to reduce stress and anxiety as well as increase the quality of your sleep - sounds good right? We love Oodie Weighted Blanket, £59.40
Personalised Walking Stick or Crutches, from £99
A truly thoughtful gift for anyone who uses mobility aids is a personalised designer walking stick or crutches. We can print any design onto walking aids so whether your loved one has a pet, children, grandchildren or a favourite place, photographs, sports colours - you name it we can make it a reality! Find out more check out our Design Your Own range.
Restaurant Meal Delivery Kits, from £27.50 per person
All too often even the idea of cooking when you use crutches or walking sticks is exhausting. Whether you're recovering from an injury or managing a long term condition or disability, restaurant meal delivery kits are a brilliant way to bring date night to the comfort of your own home! We love Dishpatch - a collection of cook at home (simple we promise) Restaurant Meal Kits from some of the world's best chefs!
Little presents that go a long way, from £2.75
These may look small but they are MIGHTY! If you have ever been out and about with your walking stick, crutches or any mobility aid you'll be more than familiar with the obstacles it entails. Standing for long periods and queues for loos are commonplace. These two little gifts will make a big impact - I Can't Stand for Long Badge from £2.75 to help let people know you need a seat on public transport & Radar Key which gives access to disabled toilets in the UK, from £6.99.
Comfy Pyjamas, from £12.50
Whilst tradition might say sexy pyjamas all the way, we say you can't beat a cosy pair to keep you comfy and relaxed all year round! Whether you're living with a long term condition or disability or recovering from an injury, M&S have the best range of pyjamas - available in various lengths as well as sizes they really do tick all the boxes.
Stick Safe - the bestselling walking stick and crutches holder, £10.79
The BEST present known to improve relationships instantly! Our Stick Safe walking stick and crutches holder will ensure your stick stays off the floor. A small, subtle strap that ties around the top of your stick to bend, wrap and fix onto any surface and most importantly stop the dreaded noise of sticks crashing to the floor! From £10.79
Whatever you do this Valentine's Day, we hope these gifts help give something to love be it for self love or someone else! Wishing you all the happiest Valentine's Day!
