About this Product
Introducing a newly improved version of my popular Hand Aid:
Cathy's Special Hand Aid!
Just like my original Hand Aid, this is the perfect solution for people with hand tremors, arthritis, or other hand issues that make it difficult to hold playing cards. The Gripper features a soft, padded grip that provides a secure hold on your cards, even if your hands are shaking. The elastic band ensures that the Gripper stays in place on your hand, so you can focus on the game and not worry about your cards slipping out.
But here is where Cathy's Special differs:
Incorporated on the front of the cardholder is a "thumb strap"; inserting the thumb under the strap keeps the player's hand in a comfortable position. Plus, it is available in a right-handed and a left-handed version*. Please choose from the drop-down menu.
The Gripper is also great for people who want a more comfortable way to hold their cards. The soft grip and soft elastic bands make it easy to hold the Gripper for extended periods, without your hands getting tired or sore.
The Gripper is made of high-quality materials, is built to last, and is quite portable, so you can take it with you when you travel.
Features:
- Soft, padded grip provides a secure, comfortable hold on your cards
- Elastic bands ensure that the Gripper stays in place on your hand
- Holds a whole deck of cards
- Works for all card games
- Comfortable to hold for extended periods
- Made of high-quality materials
- No other playing cardholder is made like the Gripper!
Benefits:
- With the elastic bands you don't have to grip the cardholder
- Available in right-hand and left-hand versions (Please choose from the drop-down menu)
- Allows people with hand tremors, arthritis, or other hand issues to play cards again
- Provides a more comfortable way to hold your playing cards

* Note: The right-handed version fits on the right hand for left-hand players; the left-handed version fits on the left hand for right-hand players. Please view the photos to get the idea. All Cathy's Specials are made-to-order; please allow 1-2 days to process and ship. All feature Hummingbirds with the fabric used for the back varying in design. I offer no choice in selection besides the right-hand or left-hand version; I will choose the cardholder sent to you. Unfortunately, I only have one (1) made for a left-handed player.
For the right-handed players, I have 6 of these made up and will change the amount on this notice each time one sells.

The Amazing Gripper Playing Card Holders
Meet the Maker
Hello, and thank you for stopping by! My name is Rob (posing with my beautiful wife Jeanne) and I'm excited that you've decided to drop by to learn a bit about me and why I make playing card holders!
Prior to becoming a crafter, I was a self-taught artist, dabbling in watercolors, oils, acrylics and pencil. When I retired the first of 2007, I tried my hand at producing paintings of landscapes, birds, flowers, and even portraits. However, it didn't take me long to find out that unless one is extremely talented the artwork pretty much goes unnoticed.
I'm having a good time in my retirement and this new chapter of my life, but I'm the type of person who needs to be busy.
So when my wife retired a couple of years later, we decided to try the "Snow Bird" scene for a while. (It was fun, but all the driving to and fro plus the packing, etc. got way too tiring so that was the end of that.)
But while we were there I discovered that many retirees loved to play card games. However, I also learned that there were many who had problems holding the cards due to hand issues, way too many cards, etc. So I decided to set out to find a solution. After many trials and errors, I came up with a prototype which, after consulting with my wife (who has done quite a bit of sewing and quilting) I improved upon and set out to test my "invention" at craft fairs. To my surprise, they went over so well that I actually sold out at my first one! I quickly made more that evening and participated in another craft fair where I just about sold out again.
After arriving back home, I improved upon my design yet again and started making more for our next trip to the south. The next craft fair was a testament to word of mouth advertising, as many of my customers were referrals from the customers who bought from me the previous year. Thus, the Amazing Gripper Playing Card Holders were born! My unique card holders have continued to evolve to what you see here in my shop. Over the years, I've added many styles to the delight of many of my loyal customers.
So there you are - my story in a nutshell. I hope you enjoyed reading it; please continue to browse my shop and contact me if you've got any ideas or comments. Enjoy, and have fun at the card table!
How it’s Made
Cathy's Special Hand Aid Gripper Playing Cardholder came about by coordinating ideas from a customer using one of my existing styles and applying modifications. I use soft elastic for both the hand and thumb straps making it as comfortable as possible for the card player.
Many different materials are used in the creation of all my Gripper styles, making them unique in the growing world of playing cardholders.
My little "cardholder creation shop" is kept clean, sanitary, and free of viruses. There are no pets on the premises, other than the wonderful birds that visit the feeders I keep full in our backyard. :o)
