Lifemax make quality products at affordable prices – something that we at Ability Superstore can very much relate to.
We all know that as people get older or suffer from a disability, certain tasks become more difficult.
Lifemax understands how mobility, accessibility, and a sense of security are so important and this ethos carries through to every single product they create.
So, we thought it would be a good idea to share with you a few of their incredible products that we think would make fantastic gifts for any season of the year, or even as a special treat for yourself.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that is affected by seasonal changes.
Many people experience SAD in the autumn and winter months when days are shorter and we see less and less natural light.
Lifemax created the Lifemax SAD Therapy Life Light to supply you with your recommended daily dose of 2,500 to 10,000 LUX, something that a lot of people won’t be getting throughout fall and the festive season.
SAD can be debilitating for many sufferers and for sufferers who also have a disability, this can be exacerbated as access to outdoor space may be limited during the colder seasons. SAD can cause or worsen depression, insomnia, weight loss and lethargy, which is why Lifemax is committed to combating these symptoms with medically proven light therapy.
Lifemax has created the SAD Therapy Light, that is a medically proven mental health mobility aid that helps to alleviate the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder and is really easy to use.
The Lifemax SAD Therapy Life Light has an industry-leading 10-stage dimming and 4-stage timer; all controlled by 3 simple buttons. The Therapy Life Light also benefits from a sleek and modern design that makes for a truly thoughtful present.
The use of a Seasonal Affective Disorder Therapy Light has been shown to improve mood and sleep quality and increase the production of Serotonin (a mood stabilising chemical our bodies produce).
If someone you know suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder, the Lifemax SAD Therapy Life Light is an ideal gift for family members and friends alike.
Another innovative creation and fantastic gift idea from the brains behind Lifemax; the Lifemax Stick ‘n’ Stay Grab Rail.
These grab rails can be fitted and removed in a matter of minutes which completely eliminates the need for nails, screws, or permanent fixtures in your bathroom – perfect for recovering from an injury or assisting someone who just needs a little bit of extra support.
The Lifemax Stick ‘n’ Stay grab rails are ideal mobility aids for travel too as they can be installed and removed in a matter of minutes, fantastic for going on holiday or visiting friends and family at Christmas time.
The Lifemax Stick ‘n’ Stay Grab Rail works by utilising powerful suction cups with pressure levers to adhere to flat, non-porous surfaces such as bathroom tiles, glass, porcelain, or fiberglass. The Stick ‘n’ Stay is the perfect mobility aid for someone needing support getting in/out of the bath or shower.
No need to worry about whether the grab rail might come loose, Lifemax have included a safety lock indicator. The lock will display green when it has been properly fitted, giving you total peace of mind. They can be fitted at any angle, depending on your requirements.
We at Ability Superstore are committed to supplying only the safest and best-quality products from our shop and we can say wholeheartedly that the Stick ‘n’ Stay is the epitome of safety, usability and are really easy to use.
This mobility aid is a revelation, it can be fully adapted to the needs of the person using it and can be moved to any height/angle making it versatile and the perfect gift for someone needing a bit of extra help and support.
This product not only allows people to move with more confidence, but it also gives peace of mind that it is actively safe and lets you know when it needs to be readjusted or reapplied, alleviating any anxieties you may have over using the Stick ‘n’ Stay.
The Lifemax Solar Talking Atomic Watch is a fantastic mobility aid for people with visual impairments and is a great gift idea. The watch has a person-friendly design with a high-vision font approved by the Royal National Institute of Blind People, as well as having a button you can press to have the time and date read out to you in a clear British voice recorded by the RNIB.
Another fantastic feature of this watch is that it is powered by daylight.
The watch has a solar panel in the face that converts solar energy into electricity which in turn charges the battery to power the watch.
The watch will charge itself whether you are at home or out and about doing some shopping or meeting up with friends and family over the festive season.
No need to panic if the sun isn’t shining, the watch can also be charged by being placed underneath a household lamp. The watch also comes with a choice of leather strap or expanding bracelet for ease of use.
The Solar Talking Atomic Watch is always accurate due to using the signal from the NPL atomic clock. The science behind it is Explained by Lifemax on their website;
“In 2011, the atomic clock housed in Britain's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) was found to be the world's most accurate. The clock is a caesium fountain clock, meaning that the "tick" is provided by the measurement of the energy required to change the caesium atoms' spin. It was found to be accurate to one part in 4,300,000,000,000,000, meaning that NPL's clock will not stray by more than a second in 138 million years.”
Although this may seem a bit extreme for a watch you use day-to-day, you can always be sure that your watch will display the correct time, even going so far as to self-adjust for British Summer Time. This watch really is one of the most technological presents out there.
The Lifemax Solar Talking Atomic Watch will also adjust if you happen to travel by using the atomic clocks in Germany, Japan, and the United States. Seriously impressive! You also have the option to set alarms and make use of the hourly chime function to keep you updated throughout the day.
We think that the Solar Atomic watch is a really fantastic present idea.
What better way to treat someone on a special occasion than by getting them a gift of absolute peace and serenity.
The Lifemax Heated Massage Cushion can relieve aches, pains and tension no matter where you are. The USB rechargeable battery allows you to relax and unwind on the go, making this the ideal gift for anyone seeking heat therapy pain relief.
This mobility aid is also a fantastic way to keep warm if travelling in cooler weather, such as fall or winter when you may be visiting friends and family through the festive period.
This could make a fantastic Christmas gift or even a gift for somebody’s birthday – the gift of relaxation.
In the spirit of Christmas gift ideas, here’s a unique Christmas gift.
Throughout winter and the Christmas period, a lot of us are exposed to cold weather and central heating. This combination can lead to dry skin, dry eyes, and a sore nose and throat.
The Lifemax Volcano Aromatherapy Humidifier can give you some much-needed relief whilst misting and humidifying your home. It can also light up your room with colour-changing LED lights. A really fun gift to give to someone for Christmas.
This Lifemax Volcano Aromatherapy humidifier can be used in conjunction with water-soluble essential oils to add beautiful fragrances to your home and provide all the benefits of aromatherapy, such as fighting off colds and relieving you from the effects of nocturnal asthma. This is a purchase you are going to be ver happy with, be it for yourself or a gift for a loved one.
