People often worry that living alone in your later years, whether by choice or circumstance, will be difficult. However, the aim of this series is to prove that wrong. With today’s market, there are so many products available to make day-to-day tasks that little bit easier for you, even as you feel they become more of a struggle. Beginning with kitchen aids, we will be suggesting a handful of items designed to aid your day-to-day life, from the bathroom to the living room. Note that many of these products are also eligible for VAT relief in the UK.
Here are our top three gadgets for the kitchen:

Switching to an electric opener is not always the best option with all the complications of changing batteries, keeping charged, and so on. We’ve found there are simple products out there that still give you options. With this manual opener, the aim is to reduce danger and effort. It’s designed with the elderly and people suffering from arthritis in mind, making it extremely user-friendly.
