5 Gift Ideas for Someone With Lyme

Notes and notepads: I can never have too many.

My all-time favorite gift to receive at holidays—or any time—has always been a vase full of colorful, fragrant flowers. But lately, I have to admit that practical gifts can really make a difference for someone under the weather with lyme.

Here are some ideas:

  1. notes, note pads, and colorful pens for creating reminders
  2. massage gift certificate to relieve stress and pain
  3. gluten-free treats or carry-out gift certificates for easy snacks/meals
  4. maid service for a morning of heavy cleaning
  5. a magazine subscription for those long hours when activity isn’t possible.

    Great ideas! Also my ideal presents for lymie times would be things like fuzzy warm socks, awesome slippers, nice fancy epsom salts and microbial fighting essential oils (like lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus to name a few)

      Oh yes, those are fantastic, I am adding them to my personal wish list right now. Especially essential oils! Thanks 🙂

    “Heavy blanket”. This is often used by kids with Autism, which I am not, but I love mine. It is soothing and warm, like a massage or a cat sleeping on you.

    Heavy Blanket. Used by kids with Autism (which I am not), it’s warm and cozy and is sort of like a pet sleeping on you. I love mine.

    Weighted/heavy blanket. It’s typically used by kids with autism (marketed on autism sites) but I use it for bad Lyme days. It’s like having a pet sleeping on you–warm and cozy and soothing. Can run 150 or more dollars though. At least mine did.
