Walking Stick Holders


Ever been in a very quiet restaurant/library/shop where it is so quiet you could here a pin drop, you hook your stick over a chair or on a table only for it to fall off and noisily clatter to the floor. I, for one, have to wait for someone to pick it up for me as I cannot bend down and I also have ruined several expensive walking sticks as they have chipped upon landing.  The same goes for walking frames and wheel chairs. How can walking sticks be secured but still be within reach without risk of them falling off and getting damaged, mammoth struggle to retrieve them.  All the options I found are available on Amazon UK.  There are some cheap options that get good reviews. I especially like the reflective strip (under £6 including postage) as it fulfils a dual purpose.  It secures your stick and also acts as a reflective light when flipped down to rest against the stick so acts as a great safety device as well.

All these items are available on Amazon UK.

Classic Canes: Walking Stick LED Lamp Attachment


This lightweight LED light/ lamp from Classic Canes is £22.50. I couldn't find many retailers for this item. The only one I could find was an Ebay seller. It isn't stocked on Amazon UK which is surprising as they sell/stock a lot of the walking sticks. It is lightweight, easy to fasten on to your stick and easy to turn off and on. It is a useful accessory to have, both to help see where you are going and to use as a warning light to others who may not see you approaching them in the dusk or dark.
