Gift Ideas For A Person Living With Diabetes
Is a birthday or Christmas approaching? An opportunity to offer a gift? Here is a list of original gift ideas to offer someone living with diabetes.
A Little Indulgence!
Chocolate, a classic! To the delight of people living with diabetes, some bakeries / pastry shops have created these gourmet pleasures with a low glycemic index. This is the case of Good Chocolate. You can feast without your blood sugar going on a roller coaster ride!
An Offbeat T-Shirt
There are t-shirts with clever statements or jokes about diabetes: “I’m sorry for what I said when I was hungry,” “proud owner of a useless pancreas” or “I have a syringe and I’m not afraid to use it”. Offer only to friends who are comfortable with their diabetes… and who have a good sense of humor!
A Small Handbag
They can be used daily. Between insulin, blood glucose meters, medications and other essential items, you can quickly become weighed down! Hence a handbag, which can store all his little necessities. Pretty cool right?
Pins, Badges
Another original idea is a badge (or patch), to sew or attach directly onto clothing. You can thus customize a jacket, for example, by adding an embroidered badge design of a personified blood glucose meter, looking cool, with sunglasses and a smile, or a “Diabetes Warrior” pin, isn’t that classy? You are spoiled for choice for those little gifts that make people happy. Fun guaranteed!
Stickers
With patterns similar to those found on pins and/or patches, stickers can be placed anywhere: computers, water bottles, notebooks, etc. They will bring a touch of color and joy every day!
Miscellaneous Small Pleasures
In addition to those mentioned above, there are a very large number of trinkets with messages specific to diabetes: blankets, mugs, duvet covers, clocks, cushions, computer, tablet or phone cases, etc. A wide choice of gifts for all occasions!
Yoga Sessions
To stay in shape and learn how to better manage stress, why not offer yoga classes? For more fun (and to motivate yourself!), you could join your friend?
Cooking Classes
Diabetes or not, it is not always easy to find appealing new recipes to make. A few cooking lessons could be the answer The happy recipient can try exotic cuisines and new techniques, while conforming to their dietary requirements. With a little bit of luck, he/she will become a true cordon bleu chef and will invite you to taste his/her culinary masterpieces.
A Greeting Card
Why not accompany your gift with a small card? Receiving a gift accompanied by a few words is a small detail that never fails to please! You can find personalized ones, suitable for every occasion!
