If you’re looking for a gadget or gizmo this Christmas, check out our gift ideas below for some festive inspiration.
For if you're a deep sleeper or some who has to rely on vibration as well as sound to wake, this under-pillow alarm is a great option. It can go under the pillow, letting you feel when the alarm goes off, or on the bedside table, depending on preference, making it a great option for those who are hard of hearing.
Make it easier to hear the television without having the volume set uncomfortably high for everyone else. This brilliant device can connect to your TV, mobile phone or tablet via Bluetooth so you can listen in comfort without having to strain to hear. It also includes an amplifier to help hear conversations with more clarity.
Struggling to tell the time with a standard watch? This big digit watch may be a great gift option to consider. It has a clear, oversized LCD display, four different alarms, a stopwatch function, and announces the time and date in a clear voice. The Big Digit Talking Watch is available for men and women and is an ideal choice for those with visual impairments.
Give a gift that’ll help them be more aware of visitors to their home. This doorbell is a great option for those who find it difficult getting up to answer the door or who are wary of answering the door to strangers, as it allows you to see and talk with the caller without having to get up. There's no cloud subscription required with this intercom, but you will need a smartphone in order to use it.
Are you after a mobile phone that’s hearing aid compatible and a little easier to use? The CL8500 Clamshell Mobile Phone might be just what you need. It’s hearing aid compatible and has an adjustable receiving volume control. It also features large, clear dial buttons and an integral ‘In Case of Emergency (I.C.E)’ function for added peace of mind.
On a fitness kick or looking to increase the amount of exercise you do? This activity sensor could be great gift to help track your progress. It will measure your pulse and track how many steps you've done, distance covered, and calories burnt. It can also monitor sleep patterns to help identify ways you could improve on it.
If someone you love is prone to taking an unexpected walk, or you care for someone who has a tendency to disappear without warning, these easy-to-attach alarms can alert you to a door opening with a loud alarm through the main unit. The alarm will keep sounding until either the door is closed again or the on/off switch is switched off.
For the person who loves to talk on the phone but who struggles with remembering phone numbers, this could be an ideal gift option to consider. It has ten photo buttons on the base unit, meaning it’s easy to see and remember what speed dial button is connected to what number. It also has an answerphone, can store up to 50 numbers, and is amplified too.
Do they live alone and worry about falling? Get them (and yourself) peace of mind this Christmas with this incredibly useful watch. It has inbuilt fall detection function and an SOS button, so in an emergency it can send out a message to key contacts for help, who can in turn use the GPS function on the watch to find the person quickly.
Living with a vision impairment or experiencing memory loss? This alarm clock could be a very useful Christmas gift. It has a high contrast white button mounted on a black case surround and announces the time, day, and date in a loud, clear voice when the button is pushed. It also has an easily set alarm feature too.
