Sometimes it can be hard to know what to give your loved one for Valentine. When the person you are buying for lives with a disability or a chronic illness, it is even harder. In that case, you should consider extra things to make sure your gift is suitable. Daily living aids may be seen as a boring or even a strange Valentine’s present, but they can make such a difference to someone’s life. To demonstrate this, let us give you some help to choose from our most popular daily living aids as a Valentine’s present.
There are many different living aids you can consider, depending on the type of support your loved one needs, Make sure to figure you address the right issues.
The Valentine’s gift of Independence
Experience gifts are very popular for Valentine. Without a mobility aid though, someone with impaired mobility is either unable or would struggle to take part in these experiences. By giving a mobility aid – like an electric folding wheelchair, a specialised wheeled forearm walker or crutches with a shock absorber - as a Valentine’s present, you are giving your loved one back some of their independence. The gift of a suitable mobility aid would allow someone with impaired mobility to be able to participate in activities that most people take for granted, like taking their children to school or go round the supermarket.
If you loved one needs an electric wheelchair then the ultimate gift for Valentine would be the ‘Navigator’ in combination with the passenger trailer T-100. It is a Folding Electric wheelchair with a seat for a companion at the back that can be attached in just a few seconds and turns the wheelchair into a tandem. It allows you to take your loved one on a ride. How great is that! It is an Australian and ‘world firs’t mobility innovation, manufactured here. The person in the wheelchair can choose to drive himself or give that option to the one at the back. The choice is yours! The best benefit is that the wheelchair can be folded and fits in the boot of most cars. The ‘Navigator’ will give you and your partner the freedom to go out and about.
The Valentine’s gift should be useful
Baking related items are also popular gifts at Valentine’s time. Imagine buying someone some measuring spoons that they can use just with one hand. Or a food workstation that gives them some assistance with everyday kitchen tasks. This board would not only allow your loved one to cut, slice, grate, hold food but also help with a multitude of kitchen tasks more comfortably and safely.
An egg cracker is also an ingenious kitchen gadget to assist you with cracking an egg, separating the egg white and the yolk and releasing it without a shell. A reacher is very helpful for grabbing things around the house.
Our best selling device is the Raised toilet seat with armrests. It is very convenient for elderly or people with limited mobility!
Although for you it might not seem like a big difference, but for someone with limited mobility a reacher is an excellent solution. All these devices are very useful!
A Daily Living Aid for everyone
There are daily living aids for every need and budget, which make them ideal for both the gift giver and receiver. From convenient key turners that cost $28.95 to mobility aids that can cost almost $5,000. A key turner can help someone who has issues putting the key in the keyhole and turning it.
Giving a daily living aid as a Valentine’s gift shows that you understand the difficulties your loved one faces and that you care enough to help.
Kitchen gadgets that are not so different
It’s easier than you think to choose a great daily living aid as a Valentine’s gift. All you need to do is adapt what you would usually buy.
For example, if you would buy crockery or other kitchen equipment as presents, consider adapted items like bendable cutlery. The metal shaft allows you to bend the fork and spoon to an angle that suits your loved one. Or the Spillnot, a great device in anyone’s home that avoids spills on hot drinks.
NDIS can help relieve financial burden
It’s worth remembering that a lot of daily living aids are funded by the NDIS. People with disabilities can receive NDIS funding for a lot of equipment, or daily living aids but it depends on each personal situation.
