I wanted to do a bunch of Christmas blogs but had very few ideas on what to write about. This idea came to whilst writing my charity gift blog. I then saw another blogger and do something slightly similar so had a read for inspiration. I have also included ideas from others as well as things that have helped me throughout my time of being chronically ill.
My plan was to write a note by each to explain why I had written in the item but realised that is not needed for it to make sense. I have instead put them into categories.
To help with block out noise/light when in sensory overload:
1: Ear defenders\ear plugs\headphones
2:Sleep Mask
For comfort:
3:Pyjamas
4: Blankets
5:Slippers
For pain:
6: Water bottles/ heat pads
7: Foot\back massager
8:Oils
9:Shower chair\ bath lifter
10: A salt lamp
For boredom/distraction:
11: DVDs\ boxsets
12: Audible subscription
13: Big word Wordsearch or simple puzzle books
14: Colouring books
15: Sensory toys (eg: Fidget spinners)
16: Amazon fire stick/ TV subscription
17: Magazine subscription
Practical items:
18: Handmade I.O.U These could be anything that they may find useful from offering to clean their house anything such as cooking them a meal etc..
19: Coffee machine
20:Online gift vouchers
