Holiday Gift Guide for Autistics and Sensory Seekers

Holiday Gift Guide for Autistics and Beyond

Purchasing holiday gifts for those on the autism spectrum or a sensory seeker can be challenging! Some individuals are very focused and may not want to move out of their sensory comfort zone.

We here at Chewigem have combed through the catalogs of some our retailers (they carry Chewigem so they know sensory!) as well as other well-known Canadian companies and have curated a list of unique items that will hopefully help you find that perfect gift!

At the top of our list is us – Chewigem Chewelry and Fidgets for kids and adults.  We have a wide range of chewelry – textured, thin, thick, spinning, bending – something for almost everyone! Necklace, bracelets, and chewable fidgets in colors that can be fun or discrete. Try our Hexichew or Hand Fidget for a unique chewable sensory tool. The Chewigem Tread Bracelet is a fugh, textured chew. Our Emotichew Bracelet is chewable but doubles as a communication tool as well.

If you’re looking for Advent Calendars, don’t miss our Chewigem Sensory Advent Box.  It comes with 24 sensory items – fidgets, sensory tools and of course Chewigem originals. A great selection at a fantastic price will be sure to make the lead up to December 25^th fun and so stimmy!  Find it here.
