For people that like to color often these books are amazing. They are super fun and super relaxing. There is a lot o variety when it comes to coloring books and they're quite easy to find.

Some places you can find adult coloring books include:

Magnifying Glass

A magnifying glass can be an essential tool for just about anybody. Even people that have n visual impairments can find these useful. They simply make reading and seeing things easier.

Especially for people with visual impairments, a magnifying glass would make an amazing gift. So many things would be easier to do. Imagine struggling to read instructions, read a recipe, read the newspaper.... all of these would be so much easier and more enjoyable with a magnifying glass.

You can usually find these at your local drugstore, shopping center, or online. Just google "buy magnifying glass" if you want to buy one online. Amazon.com if a great place to find a lot of different items, including magnifying glasses.

Wall Clock

Everybody needs to know what time it is. Wall clocks are an easy way for everybody to just look up and know the time.

Some wall clock s are easier to read than others so some people may benefit more from a digital clock.

Bidet / Toilet Attachment

Many people struggle with hygiene problems simply because it can be too difficult to physically maintain the proper level of cleanliness. Many people are unable to physically clean themselves to the degree that they want.

A bidet is not only useful to everyone, regardless of physical ability, they are incredibly useful to those that don't have the physical abilities to maintain the hygiene that they'd like.

I guarantee that once you use a bidet you will wonder why you haven't tried one your entire life.

They simply make cleaning yourself so much easier.

You can find affordable bidets and bidet attachments for toilets online at Amazon.com or at your local department store.

Electric Can Opener

Electric can openers are useful for everybody but especially people with mobility problems.

Opening cans with an electric can opener can make one's life much easier and open up a door that hides so many food options!

Walking Cane

There are a lot of us that don't want to admit that we might benefit from a walking cane but in reality, we're just punishing ourselves without one. If you or someone you know has difficulties walking, or difficulties with balance, a walking cane can be a lifesaver.

You can find them in a variety of styles. My grandma had one that looked like a giraffe and she even named it!

You can find walking canes at most pharmacies and department stores, but you're better off finding one online at places like Amazon.com
