Unhidden Team Top Picks
We’ve asked the office what’s on their Christmas wish list! From the perfect stocking fillers and Secret Santa presents to gifts to gifts that come with love as well as impact. These gift ideas range from £8.99 to £93 so there is something for every budget. We’ve got inclusive design, disabled-led and businesses supporting good causes too, so you can shop knowing that it’s all going back to the community.
Victoria Loves: for the mug collector.
It’s great to see that the revolution of stylish, modern accessible homeware is here! These mugs by Rosa Lifestyle offer so many people struggling with dexterity a way of continuing to have their cups of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. For some people it may not seem like a big deal, but when you can’t enjoy the little things independently due to inaccessible design, it does start to take a toll. I’d pair this with someone's favourite tea bags for the perfect gift.
£11.99 - Two handled mugs

These grip unscented soaps are an absolute dream come true. I have sensitive skin, and soap is always a struggle to use in the shower! This is a disabled-owned brand, and their product labels are all braille stamped too- I’ve got this on my wishlist after using their soap in a tin while traveling this year.

Rudy Loves: for people who just need to take a minute
After a long night of boozy christmas karaoke, nothing suffices like a big, warm cup of tea.
And personally, i’d like a cuppa from Cup of Te´ absolutely anytime.
