These special boxed socks come in three versions that have different labels on them so you can announce to the world if he's the 'Best Grandad', 'Super Dad', or '#1 Dad'.
Is he in need of a mobile phone but finds modern smart phones a little tricky or overwhelming to use? The Swissvoice B24 Bar Mobile Phone is designed with ease of use and safety in mind. It's hearing aid compatible and has a simple to use charging stand, so he won't have to fiddle with small charging wires either. For added peace of mind the Swissvoice B24 Bar has an SOS button, which can help him get assistance in case of emergency.
Was he the master of poker or bridge before limited dexterity or weakness in his hands stopped him playing? These card holders are a great solution to help him play card games again. Each card holder holds up to 15 cards and can be held or placed on the table.
For the man who wants to add a touch of style and luxury to his mobility aids, why not get this beautiful, hand-crafted horse handled walking stick? The handle is shaped to look like a horse's head, while still giving comfort and support as he goes about his day. It also has a decorative brass-coloured collar underneath the handle to add an extra layer of sophistication to the design when coupled with the dark brown wood of the walking stick.
Give him a gift that'll help him stay more active this year. The Electric Mini Pedal Exerciser can be used from the comfort of his favourite chair to exercise his legs and help him improve his fitness, circulation, and muscle strength. It can also be put on a table allowing him to exercise his arms and upper body as well.
It also comes with a handheld remote, so he can control the amount of assistance he has from the electrically powered pedals.
If he's starting to find bathing difficult due to limited flexibility, then the Flannel Strap and Wash Mitt could be a great gift to help him out this Christmas.

On both the flannel strap and the mitt, one side is a soft terry cotton, while the other is a coarser foam material to help exfoliate and invigorate the skin. The flannel strap also has a clear plastic handle at each end to make it easier to grip.

They also have a hardwearing, non-slip sole to help reduce his risk of slipping and falling. As an added bonus, these slippers are machine washable too.
These slippers are available in blue or grey and sizes 6 - 12.
