Show Notes
The holidays are coming, so we have some tried and true products that vestibular warriors love!
This is broken down into categories: travel, weather, toolkit, and daily routine. This is by no means perfect because different items can be used across multiple categories, but we did our best.
Whether you’re building your own toolkit or shopping for someone you love who has a vestibular disorder, this list is a great place to start! And of course, everything is linked below.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas for gift lists or for a vestibular warrior in your life!
