Gifting a walking stick is very emotional as it marks the acceptance of our loved ones getting old. Nevertheless, we can still try to carve a smile on their face with a straight stick that they can enjoy. So, here are a few things to consider before making a purchase.
The head of the family.
We all have a spirit animal be it the mighty lion or a naughty otter. You can figure out what the person who will use the stick likes, and then get the head of the stick carved in the shape of their favorite animal. You can also choose your favorite cartoon characters as inspiration and get the head engraved with a special message because the child in us should live as long as possible.
Let us get this straight.
A straight stick can carve a smile on our loved ones' faces. The purpose of a walking stick is to provide comfort and good grip while walking. So, the walking stick has to be of just the right height to suit the person using it. If the walking stick is not one that is, prescribed by a medical professional, then you can look for a slightly curved walking stick. A curved walking stick does the job of grip and, that will also add some great style to it.
Woody or metal?
The material of the stick adds weight to it. The walking stick has to be strong enough to bear the body weight while walking and, it should be light enough so that lifting it will not be an issue. While wooden sticks are light in weight, it might break as well. Metal sticks are strong enough to bear body weight. But it might get a little heavy for some people, and they might not be able to lift it.
