Presents for arthritic hands?

Hi- looking for Christmas present ideas. Mum has very arthritic hands and has asked for some kitchen implements - like an electric carving knife. Are there any recommends for good brands to buy for kitchen bits that are adapted or easy to use? Any other gift ideas? I’ve realised the cardigan I’ve got her has fiddly buttons so I’ve made a poor choice to start!

If you google Aids and adaptations for arthritis you get a lot of good suggestions

You probably know about these but have you seen compression gloves? My MIL has started wearing these at night and has found they are really useful. I’m no good at links but you can easily find them online.

I've got a gripper thing for opening jars. Also a can opener that magnets onto the top of the can, you don't have to squeeze the two handles together to keep it in place, and it's got a big easy to hold handle on the top you turn to open the can. It's fab.
I'm going to say it's from JML, it's one of those sort of places.

Electric jar opener is my favourite gadget, along with a tipping kettle (Mine is Uccello - it doesn't look 'disabled'). OXO good grips are a decent range too.

Oxo good grips have awards for their kitchen aids, Lakeland sell lots of them but oxo have their own website too.
DM wants a mini food processor so she can grate cheese, I just need to find one small enough for her. Amazon do have kitchen aids suitable for arthritis, you could look there for ideas too.

If she drinks tea this kettle might help as she won't have to lift a kettle to make a drink.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and second the Breville one cup instead of a kettle - lifechanging for me. Also an electric tin opener, gadget to open ring pulls and wire baskets to cook pasta and lift out instead of draining.

Thanks sleafordsods actually looked at that kettle or a similar one last year , things have got lots worse this year so it might be time.

Wire baskets are something I’d not thought of either.

I have arthritis in hands. I have an electric can opener from Amazon. It's amazing.
