Gift Shopping for people with vision loss

Posted by Sorbet on 11/18/2005 at 12:09 PM

With the holidays approaching, it's time for one and all to agonize over gifts for our friends and loved ones. We know that many in the sighted community struggle to think of suitable gifts for those who have vision loss, even though it's not as different from the rest of their gift list as they think.

In the spirit of holiday good will, let's give them some ideas. What do we want for Christmas?

I'll start - I need a new winter coat, some nice perfume, maybe some CDs and an MP3 Player.

What's on your wish list?

Well I wish for my son to continue to be well and my fiancee to get better. For myself I would like a new pot and pan set.

I know this is VERY LATE for a Christmas gift...but an idea for maybe a birthdayy gift is a Zoom-text 9.0.
I love mine...It's a great program and it has a magnifier (all the way to 20X ) as well as a document reader...
just a suggestion...
