Welcome to part two of our top sensory gift recommendations for 2021. During the lead-up to the holidays, we receive lots of calls asking for gift advice. We used these questions as a guide for creating this list of the best gifts for neuro-diverse kids, teens, and adults and those on the autism spectrum.
Often those on the spectrum have interests in a specific topic. If this is the case, books, DVDs, or other gift items related to their interests are always a hit. If in doubt, ask their parent or carer for a hint.
Consider a Calming Gift
Our neuro-diverse kids and teens often find it challenging to cope with changes to their routine and the new and overwhelming sensory experiences Christmas can bring. Typically, their sensory threshold can be lower than others, so choosing a calming and sensory-based gift will help them reset.
A calming gift, such as a weighted blanket, weighted animal toy, or a visual item, is not only enjoyable but can also make life easier for the whole family. Slow, repetitive motion items like our Jellyfish Lamp are visually engaging and calming.
