Many wheelchairs are motorized and these chairs provide an additional degree of independence for the user. When a wheelchair user travels about town in their wheelchair, another handy gift is lighting for the wheelchair. There are several types of lighting. Some attaches to the top or upper part of the wheelchair. Another type of lighting consists of lights that can simply be clipped onto the wheelchair. These are placed in conspicuous places so drivers and pedestrians can see the wheelchair at night.

Most wheelchairs come with only the basics. They are usually an expensive purchase, so the user may not be able to afford accessories. Giving a wheelchair user a helpful accessory or two can really improve their quality of life.

Consider giving a wheelchair user a backpack that will attach to the back of their wheelchair and is accessible to the user while they are seated. There are special backpacks and bags that are designed for wheelchairs. These may be used to carry books, glasses, wallets, and other personal items. A lined and locked pack will help keep the wheelchair user’s valuable safe.

Another great gift for a wheelchair user is a drink holder. While some wheelchairs come with a place to set a drink, most do not. If the wheelchair user is especially active it is important they have some way to stay hydrated and a drink holder is a perfect gift for this.
