Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Don't be intimidated when looking for a gift for someone in a wheelchair this holiday season.

We gathered some top-notch ideas from wheelchair users and scoured all types of manufactures for their best bets. Now, we aren't endorsing any of the products in the gift guide, nor have we tested them, but they look like fun and we tried to provide presents for all budgets.
