23 Thoughtful Gifts for Disabled Adults That Are Sure to Be Appreciated
Many of these inventive products are from disabled-owned businesses.
If someone you love is disabled — as one in four Americans are — and you're looking for a gift, consider these gift ideas for disabled adults, whether you're shopping for a birthday gift, a holiday gift, a wedding gift, or a just-because gift.
Obviously, just because a person is disabled doesn't mean you need to get them a disability-specific gift — you can get them a gift related to their hobbies or interests, as you would anyone in your life. But if you're feeling called to get them something that makes their life a little easier, we've got plenty of practical ideas here like adaptive clothing, unique kitchen devices, beauty and fashion products designed for those with mobility issues, and more. Every person's experience is different, but many of these gifts are created by people with disabilities, or have glowing reviews from people who are disabled. Several of these gifts would also be useful for people who have chronic illnesses, are recovering from an injury or accident, are in a care facility, or are neurodiverse. Plus, many of these gift ideas are from companies founded by disabled people.
