Best Gifts For A Paralyzed Person

 Buying gifts can be a tedious task, especially if you’re not very close with the gift receiver. However, buying gifts for a paralyzed person can be even harder, especially if you’re able-bodied and never had to use the wheelchair. Oftentimes, the best gifts for people with disability are practical presents, so check out this list of useful gift ideas that will show them you truly care. 




A smoother, more comfortable wheelchair ride


The comfortablel Wheelchair is a supportive pad for coccyx, spine, sciatica and tailbone pain relief. It has a waterproof cover and four layer foam support for pressure sores and ulcers. The medical grade cushion won’t lose it’s soft, supportive shape or support. A wheelchair cushion isn’t the most beautiful or fun idea for someone who can’t walk, but this gift makes life in a chair so much easier. It’s a thoughtful, useful gift idea.




Inspirational wall art for a person in a wheelchair’s home


Some inspirational wall art says “Nothing is impossible… the word itself says “I’m possible”! – and this might be a good gift for someone in a wheelchair. It depends on what his goals and hopes are, and if he’s working towards something. If he’s depressed, he might not like inspirational wall art. But if he’s determined to move forward, then the most meaningful gift you can give is hope, support, and faith.




Wheelchair-friendly organizer and cupholder


The Wheelchair Side Bag with a Large Cup Holder is an armrest pouch and cup holder combination that allows wheelchair users to easily keep essential items nearby and hands-free. Instead of continually worrying about finding a place to put a drink, this provides a paraplegic or quadriplegic with both independence and comfort.




Massage


Whether you’re buying for a paraplegic or quadriplegic, some kind of massage package is always warmly welcomed, it not badly needed. Since so many of us have to overuse certain muscles because our other muscles are paralyzed, regular massage on these hardworking muscles is almost necessary to keep up their endurance long-term.


A monthly massage can do wonders in keeping our muscles in place and moving like they should. If you don’t know of a good massage therapist, check out massage chains or local chiropractic offices to find reputable massage therapists who provide gift certificates.






Facial


A facial is along the same lines as a massage, but it’s much more pampering — an hour-long face massage (perfect for high-quads), cleaning, pore cleaning and exfoliation. I’ve only had one so far in my life, and it was one of the most pleasurable sensations I’ve had since breaking my neck.


Many of us use our faces for so much, and it is the first thing most people look at. You just can’t go wrong with a facial — guy or girl. Check out Groupon for some great deals on beauty-related services like this.




Membership to a Co-op


Eating healthy food can make a huge difference in the daily life and secondary conditions of someone with a spinal cord injury, but very often it can just be too expensive or too hard to prepare. A membership to a local co-op can be just the kick in the butt needed to start eating better, and many co-ops have pre-prepared foods and delis for those people on your list who can’t cook. A gift certificate to the local farmers market can also be a great idea
