Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it’s a special time to show love and appreciation to your Mum – biological or otherwise – for everything that she has given you throughout the years. If she has mobility needs, a disability, chronic illness or simply needs a little extra support, we want to find a thoughtful present to show her the love and appreciation that she deserves. Fortunately, here at Ability Superstore, we offer many practical and thoughtful gift ideas that can help to support mobility and independence or to make her daily life easier and more comfortable.
Choosing the best gift for your Mum requires a bit of thought. It’s important to find a gift which shows her that we considered what will be helpful to her, whilst also making her feel special. In this Gift Guide, we have selected our best gift ideas for Mums. Not just products which help with comfort and mobility, our Mother’s Day Gift Guide focuses on those items which will make her smile, too – from our range of joyfully patterned Classic Canes (which we just love!), to the vibrant Wheelchair Cosies in Pink or Purple, our top gifts for Mother’s Day are perfect for showing your gratitude and affection in a meaningful way which is sure to make her happy.
Mother’s Day in the UK falls on Sunday, 19 March, and so you are still in good time to order from our selection of thoughtful and useful gifts. Chocolates and flowers are always a lovely idea, but in the case of a Mum who has mobility issues, chronic illness, or needs a little support, it will really mean the world for her to know that you thought carefully and chose an item helpful to her every day – perfect if it’s beautiful to look at too, of course!

Our next thoughtful and cheerful gift suggestion for Mother’s Day is the Wheelchair Cosy in Three Colours and Three Sizes.
Gone are the days of only the standard navy blue, as we are delighted to offer three new striking colours to choose from. Snuggly and warm for the lower body when sitting in a wheelchair, our Wheelchair Cosy is available in a bright striking pink, rich vibrant purple and stylish graphite grey.
If Mum uses a wheelchair, she is sure to appreciate the thought in choosing a wheelchair leg cosy which is high quality and looks fabulous, too. Our Wheelchair Cosy has a waterproof outer layer and a warm and soft white fleece lining, ensuring that the wearer is kept warm and dry, whatever the weather. The added benefit of an inside pocket to keep all of the little essentials dry and secure, gives a convenient storage option for items such as a mobile phone, keys or purse. This thoughtful gift idea is full length, with a reinforced foot space providing a wipe-clean surface which prevents scuffing. Our Wheelchair Cosy is offered in three sizes to ensure the best fit and comfort, making this a fantastic choice for Mother’s Day if you are looking for a practical gift for a Mum who uses a wheelchair.
If you read our blog last week, What Are The Top 10 Mobility Aids For Good Foot Health?, you will already know that we love the Lifemax Luxury Foldaway Foot Spa. We simply had to include it here in our Mother’s Day Gift Guide as it most certainly offers a present for Mum which is both practical and thoughtful for her health, but will make her feel loved and special, too.
The benefits of a home foot spa go beyond relaxation and in fact support good foot health, but you can be sure that Mum will also feel delightfully pampered and enjoy your gift choice should you select this foot spa.
With bubbles, vibrating massage and infrared heated water, the Lifemax Luxury Foldaway Foot Spa promotes good circulation whilst addressing hard or dry skin. For anyone with restricted mobility or long-term medical conditions, problem skin areas or tired, sore and achy feet can be soothed and cared for with this foot spa. When not in use, the clever design of this foot spa means that it can be folded for easy storage. The compact design also makes this an ideal choice for taking it along when travelling to enjoy foot care on the move.
Mother’s Day is a special opportunity to express your love and appreciation for your Mum, regardless of her circumstances. Finding the perfect gift requires a balance of practicality and thoughtfulness. You can show her just how much she means to you, by choosing a gift which supports her independence and brings more comfort to her life. Whether it’s a disability aid or a comforting accessory, remember that the most important thing is to show your Mum how much you care and appreciate her.
