We all have someone in our life who is tricky to buy for, that someone who seems to have everything they need. So, this Christmas, why not give the gift of independence?
Our Christmas Gift Guide for 2024 has gifts to suit every budget as well as ones you won’t find on the high street. And what’s even better, as well as products you’d expect to find in our four showrooms across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, there’s also gifts that you won’t even find there. Our online shop has an even greater range and all its products can be collected from your local Clark & Partners showroom, or delivered direct to your door.
Perfectly sized to pop in a stocking, this key turner takes away the hassle of fiddling with small keys. The chunky handle provides the perfect grip for anyone with arthritis or reduced dexterity in the hands or wrists. Make locking and unlocking doors easy again. It holds up to three keys which tuck neatly into the handle when not in use.
We all know that many canned foods have ring-pulls now, but for those that don’t or if the action of lifting and prising off the lid of a ring-pull can is tricky, the automatic can opener is ideal. It opens any round cans at just the touch of a button. What could be better on a cold winter’s day than being able to independently open a can of soup to heat and eat?
Help them never forget their medication again! New to our range, the Lifemax pill box with alarm can be set to remind them to take their medication up to five times a day. It’s small enough to be kept in a pocket, making it ideal for taking it wherever they go. Because the alarm has storage compartments, when the alarm goes off, tablets and capsules are always close to hand. As well as an audible alarm, it can also be set to vibrate for discretion or for the hard of hearing who can instead feel the box vibrate. Choose from the four compartment or six compartment design.
Lightweight and foldable, these walking sticks are perfect for popping in their bag or keeping in the car for when they need them. Available in a range of colours, there’s also two different handles available: a regular handle and one that is ergonomically designed for those with arthritis– it offers full palm support for when the fingers may struggle to bend around a narrower handle. These handy canes are also height adjustable, helping maintain good posture.
Another new Lifemax product recently added to our online shop that we absolutely love and had to add to our Christmas Gift Guide, is this trolley with fold-down seat. Having a sturdy seat to grab five minutes on means the recipient can shop ’til they drop as they fill the 30kg capacity bag compartment. There’s also a convenient pocket on the front to keep the essentials close to hand. Choose from standard wheels or the three-wheel ‘stair-climber’ configuration that makes it even easier to pull the trolley over steps and curbs.
It’s more tempting than ever to get cosy in bed on cold, dark winter nights. The bed backrest is great at making climbing under the covers even more appealing, whether to watch TV or read the latest page-turner. It can be set to five different positions and there’s an incorporated pillow for added comfort. The steel frame is lightweight, making it easy to put on and take off the bed. It’s a cost-effective way to elevate the home (no pun intended).
With a range of different options and prices starting from just £16.66*, these talking watches make a fantastic gift. Choose a chunky, modern design, or timeless (apologies for the puns now) leather or expandable bracelet strap. The two more classic designs are also available in men’s or women’s sizes. As well as large, easy-to-read numbers, the watches can announce the time at the touch of the button. They make the ideal gift for a visually impaired loved one or the person who always forgets their reading glasses. The digital model has additional features such as stopwatch, lap-timer, four alarm settings, and it can also announce the day of the week and date.

Give the gift of a spa break without having to leave the house- any time they like. This foldaway foot spa by Lifemax soothes aching feet and softens skin using warm water and invigorating air bubbles. It features vibration massage and acupuncture points to help boost circulation. Simply add cold water and the foot spa heats water to 40 degrees, and maintains that temperature. The handy carry handle doubles as a splash guard. It’s simple to use with one button to turn on the heat, and one to turn on the bubbles. When folded, it’s just 5cm high. This makes it ideal for storing under the sofa or in cupboards where space is limited.
A Clark & Partners firm-favourite, the Uccello Kettle Tipper makes it to our gift guide, once again. You get peace of mind as your loved one makes a cuppa or fills a hot water bottle, safely and independently. Uccello specifically designed it for those with limited reach, mobility, dexterity, and strength. Unlike other kettles and kettle-tippers, the circular shape of the Uccello Kettle, moves around the body of water to create a smooth effortless pour, so they don’t have to lift, strain or balance – simply tilt to pour!
Giving slippers as a gift at Christmas is nothing new, but giving proper fitting ones might be. Did you know ill-fitting slippers is a big cause of avoidable trips and falls in older people? Sometimes, in order to accommodate swelling or foot conditions such as bunions or hammertoes, people are tempted to go up a size. But then the slipper can be too long in length, making them trip hazards. Or, sometimes slippers that are usually the correct fit, are unwearable because swelling is a problem that comes and goes.
But we have the solution. Not only do these massively popular slippers have £5 off in our Winter Sale, but they’re all extra wide and adjustable. They feature removable insoles and adjustable, touch-fastenings to change the fit depending on each foot’s needs. Choose from extra lightweight or super cosy styles, as well as styles that can be wrapped around the foot to accommodate dressings and bandages. With seamless toes boxes, they’re also great gifts for diabetics who may experience tenderness of the feet’s skin due to swelling.
With this wireless video door phone, those who have made it on to your Nice List can check who is at the door without getting up. With a two-way microphone and speaker, it allows the user to let their callers know they’re on the way to the door, and never have to miss a delivery again. They’re also a great way of getting rid of unwanted callers without having to open the door to them. The camera even has night vision. Not only does it store the image of the last twenty callers, but because its wireless and uses wi-fi, it can be easily taken around the home.

Spoil that someone special in your life with the Q50 R Carbon powerchair. Ultra-lightweight, stylish and compact, it’s the perfect wheelchair if they’re thinking of moving away from a self-propelled manual wheelchair to make things a bit easier, or don’t want a wheelchair that needs assistance. Maybe you know someone who is mobile but finds longer walks tricky, but wants to remain independent without having the ability drive a manual wheelchair forward by themself. Sadly, it can lead to a gradual decline in them doing the things they enjoy. But with the Q50 R Carbon, they can just grab it when they need it. Weighing just 14.5kg, virtually anyone can lift it. Pop it away when not in use, easily load it in the car or take it on holiday with you- the battery’s airline friendly! It truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Order in our online shop or test drive it in any of our four showrooms.
Who could be more grateful than someone receiving a goodnight’s sleep? This bed bundle includes a supportive Opera Beds Motion adjustable divan base, matching headboard and Natural 1000 mattress. What’s more, you can save up to £350 when you buy this bundle before Monday 23rd December. It’s available in five sizes and two attractive, neutral tones. The King and Super King models also have the option of two separate motors, meaning each side can be adjusted independently of each other, at no extra cost.
The back can be raised to give proper support without resorting to cushions, whilst the leg rest section can be raised to help improve circulation and reduce swelling in the ankles and feet. The luxurious mattress has multiple layers of comfortable materials over 1,000 individual pocketed springs. Cosy winter nights just got even more comfortable.
The Dietz Taima rollator really is a gift that shows you care. Stylish and packed with features, we love it. Taima users can feel secure as they walk or pause to take a seat on the built-in seat with backrest. With comfortable handles to guide the rollator, four puncture-proof wheels support them as they walk. Loop-handle brakes make it quick and easy to brake even with a weaker grip. A handy and spacious storage bag frees-up hands and arms. There’s even a convenient walking stick holder.
Because many of our products are exempt from VAT (Value Added Tax, charged at 20% by the government), we’ve given the prices without VAT included. If you or your loved one has a long-term health condition or disability, VAT need not be paid on equipment that is specifically designed for assisting independent living or accommodating these conditions. Just remember to tick the ‘VAT exempt’ option at checkout. If you’d like to pay with Klarna, don’t choose the express Klarna checkout; use the usual checkout button in order to have the option to choose ‘VAT exempt’ and then the Klarna payment option.
