Gift Ideas for People Affected by Arthritis

Looking for a birthday or special occasion gift for someone you know who has arthritis? The Arthritis Foundation offers a variety of items that can help ease the challenges of living with arthritis. Arthritis Foundation books, videos, and free brochures offer advice and tips for managing arthritis. There is also a list of products that have received the Arthritis Foundation's coveted Ease of Use designation. Consider giving a subscription to the Arthritis Foundation's award-winning consumer magazine, Arthritis Today. Arthritis Today offers up-to-date information about arthritis care and treatment, arthritis research, and helpful hints and inspiring stories that offer hope and help. Another meaningful idea is a gift of membership in the Arthritis Foundation. Membership at even the $20.00 level includes a subscription to Arthritis Today and well as a subscription to the Northern California Chapter newsletter, Joint Efforts, and periodic mailings about arthritis research and the Arthritis Foundation's Life Improvement Series. Here are links to all of these ideas:

Here's another terrific gift idea to consider for people with or without arthritis: a pair of good walking shoes, a pedometer, and a copy of the Arthritis Foundation's free Arthritis Today Walking Guide. Physical activity is important to everyone's good health, and walking is a form of exercise easily available to most people. Be sure to get yourself a good pair of walking shoes too! Contact the Arthritis Foundation at 800-464-6240 or by e-mail to order your free Arthritis Today Walking Guide.
