Bring tidings of comfort and joy to someone this Christmas with the help of one of our gift ideas to make life more comfortable. We’ve picked 10 of our favourites to help get you started.
There’s nothing quite like a luxurious bath to soothe away the aches and pains of the day, but struggling to get in and out of the tub can prevent you from enjoying a relaxing soak. The Bellavita Bath Lift makes it far easier to get into and out of the bath. It’s operated by a simple control that lifts and lowers the seat as needed – the control can also float, so you don’t have to worry about losing it in the water.
Who says daily living aids can’t be stylish and unobtrusive? This cleverly designed grab rail from Invisible Creations gives you a helping hand when you need to get in and out of your home without looking like a standard grab rail. The plant pot helps it look like a fun way to brighten up a doorway without advertising to the street that you need support.
Available in three styles: anthracite, brushed, and polished.
Looking for a way to ease pain without medication? This useful device from Beurer delivers natural transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) straight to the site of pain, helping to ease it and leave you feeling more comfortable. It has 64 pre-set programmes that are all designed to help block pain signals through mild electrical pulses delivery through the four self-adhesive electrodes. There’s also an option to create customised programmes designed by your physiotherapist or other health professional.
Make getting around a little easier with the help of the Gel Handle Folding Walking Stick. It features an ergonomically designed gel handle that helps to reduce stress on your hand and feels more comfortable to use. The stick itself is made from a lightweight aluminium that can be easily folded up when not in use, so you won’t have to worry about trying to balance your stick somewhere when you’re not using it.
Available in black, blue, or pink.
For those days when your joints are aching or your muscles are sore, this lovely heat pack could help. It’s lavender scented to soothe the senses while the heat helps to ease away some of the pain, leaving you feeling comfortable and relaxed. It simply needs to be heated in the microwave for 60 seconds or, if you’re prone to hot flushes or have a fever, it can be put in the freezer to help cool you down instead.
Is there anything like a pair of warm, plush slippers to help bring comfort to your day-to-day? These delightful slippers from Heat Holders are made with a special HeatWeaver thermal lining, meaning your feet are comfortably insulated against the cold. They also have durable soles with memory foam that moulds to the shape of your foot for extra comfort while walking.

There are many different ways to be comfortable and for some, that means keeping their hands busy. This interactive sensory apron is a unique way to bring people living with dementia enjoyment and fun. It’s weighted to help them feel warm and comforted while using it and features tactile pockets, a squeezable stress ball, and six clear pockets that can hold reminiscence pictures. These all help to encourage them to exercise their hands and fingers, relieving stress.
If you or someone you care for is finding it increasingly difficult to bend or stretch to get items you need, then the NRS Combi Reacher could be a great way to help you comfortably reach for things around you. It’s a handy tool to help you pick up items without having to do any painful or dangerous bending. It has a large, four-finger trigger, too, great if you have a reduced grip as it’s easier to use.
The NRS Combi Reacher is available in two different lengths: 660mm and 813mm
‘Tis the season for coughs and sneezes. If you’re prone to colds, this steam inhaler from Beurer could help. It gives you a soothing, warm steam treatment, cleverly keeping it at a constant temperature. It has various steam settings available, so you can choose the one that’s right for you, and is suitable for use with liquids such as saline. The steam inhaler comes with a flexible, universal mask to cover your mouth and nose.
Keep warm and comfortable this Christmas with this great hot water bottle. The luxury dark blue fur cover helps to protect sensitive skin and disperse the heat evenly, while the large 1.8 litre capacity means it stays warmer for longer. The water bottle itself is made from a thick, high strength rubber and has a screw stopper, so you don’t need to worry about losing the washer from it. It’s a useful gift that can both help you keep warm and help to ease away muscle or joint pain.
