For those holiday headaches

Almost nothing sets off a migraine headache more than the holiday season. All of the bright lights, the smells, and the loud sounds that we once loved now cause immense pain. Take a break from it will with this versatile migraine ice cap that you can wear over your eyes (or not). Get yours here.

Here we are now, entertain us!

If you have been around HOD for a while, you know that our eyes don’t work quite like they are supposed to. This makes for difficult work when trying to read a book. What better gift for the avid reader than a subscription to Amazon Audible? You can gift 1, 3, 6, or 12 months! This one is at the top of our list!

And now….for the practical HOD Hero

You know the type. They only want things that they can use to make their lives better. You won’t catch them looking for whimsical paintings of faeries and flowers. They don’t see the point of going to a theme park. These folks thrive on things that they can use. Here are our suggestions for the pragmatic hero in your life.

• Grip Strength Training pack
• Robotic Rehab glove for finger and hand
• Rollator bag and flip down tray
• Men’s Sketcher Step In Shoe
• Women’s Sketcher Step In Shoe
• Adaptive Cutting Board

Keep on moving!

Although balance is a challenge for HOD Heroes, we are still encouraged to keep our bodies in motion. We just hope that motion isn’t falling to the ground! Certainly, any person could use these next items. We know that they are a favorite for many in our club to break a sweat!

Your neighbors will line the streets and chant “HOT WHEELS” when you pull out of the driveway with this bad boy! You can tell them to eat your dust! Consequently, you will also be getting great exercise for your brain AND body! Sounds like a winning combination to us!

Outdoor biking may be too dangerous for your HOD Hero. Not to mention, the weather can be very fickle and not permit any outdoor activity. Stay inside and keep it cool on this recumbent exercise bike. This model features a mesh seat for maximum breathability, adjustable tension and seat position, and a media holder to keep you entertained as you peddle away.

When all else fails, keep it simple!

There is no shame in the gift card game! Choosing for someone else can be a challenge, and a gift card puts the choice into the hands of the receiver. Plus, it is conveniently delivered right to their door, so there is no arranging delivery or transportation. It’s a win! Choose the amount that fits into your budget, and just wait for the smile from the reciepient!

Everyone on your list needs some awesome HODA merch! The size range is inclusive on the clothing. Tell the world that you support HODA, and so should they! 10% of the purchase goes to HODA as commission. All commissions go towards funding HODA’s mission.
