The Top Gifts For Wheelchair Users On Your List

There are many things to consider when it comes to giving gifts. In fact, we may find that we are taking quite some time to find the perfect gift because we want it to be just right for them. From time to time, however, we may find that we are needing a gift for someone with special needs, such as someone with limited mobility.

If you are trying to find the present that is just right for your friend or family member in a wheelchair, it would be to your benefit to check out the top gifts for wheelchair users. This list might not only point you in the right direction, it can get your creative, gift giving juices flowing.

The following are some of the top gift choices for those with limited mobility:

Lap Tray: If you are looking for something both unique and practical, it is hard to beat a lap tray. They are just what someone needs, not only for the convenience they provide but because they help protect the lap as well. Check out some of the higher end options online.

Cushion: One of the problems that many people have when they sit in a wheelchair all day is that it can get quite uncomfortable. Although they have come a long way with wheelchair design, it often leaves something to be desired. Buying them a cushion that straps in place, either to them or the chair, can boost their comfort significantly.

Outdoor Adventures: Did you know that one of the top gifts for wheelchair users comes in the form of an outdoor adventure? There are plenty of options available that are perfect for those with limited mobility. For those in a colder climate, you can choose cross country skiing lessons or regular ski lessons using a bi-ski. If they live in a warmer climate, they may enjoy some sailing lessons or perhaps scuba diving.

Give them Wings: One other option for gifts when the recipient has limited mobility is to help them fly. Glider flying is quite popular and if they have access to a nearby municipal airport they are likely to offer it. Beginner lessons can cost up to $150, which is small potatoes, considering what you get in return. If you are looking for a unique gift that isn’t going to be duplicated, this one is it. 

Pants Up Easy: Of course we believe the best gift of all is the gift of independence. With Pants Up Easy someone can do things on their own that they normally, and typically need a 2nd person such as a caregiver, occupational therapist or otherwise to help them with.
