Yoga is a great way to sooth any achy joints. Make it a family affair and buy two passes for both of you!

Open Side Elastic Pants

Open side pants have an elasticised waist with a hook and loop closure on both sides of the pant. This allows the pants to be opened easily on either side of the pant, instead of struggling with buttons and zippers. By opening up completely, it reduces the struggle of pulling pants up or down as well. When these pants are fastened they also still provide a comfortable easy pocket.

Heated Blanket

Especially if your relative or friend sleeps in a cold environment, an electric blanket can do wonders for their arthritis issues. Morning stiffness and pain are common for somebody with arthritis; sometimes it can be so uncomfortable just to try to get out of bed. A blanket that heats up on its own may diminish some of that struggle!

Front Fastening Bras/ Comfort Bra

For the special woman in your life, a front fastening bra could quicken her daily routine immensely. If the bra fastens in the front, there is less of a struggle trying to do it up every morning. If the arthritis is all over the body, try finding a bra with soft fabric without underwire. The BreastNest is a great example of a bra that has soft modal fabric with no underwire, making it extremely comfortable to wear. She will feel like she’s not even wearing one!
