Gifts for my best friend who broke both of his arms? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

My bestie broke both of his arms and wrists two days ago. He's in his 20s, a gamer, has a pregnant wife and a young kid. Any ideas for gifts I can get to cheer him up? He'll have no use of his arms for 3 months.

Already got a bidet for him and hooked it up. Looking into accessible gaming controllers, but he said that the pain is so bad rn that even alternative controllers are probably a no go.

I'd say audio books, but you can get them the Libby app and a library card and they'll have tens of thousands available for free.

The catch with Libby is that usually all the good books have hold times. This isn't an issue when you've been using Libby for awhile, you put a bunch of books on hold and you reach a point where you always have something available. But it can take weeks/months as a new user to get to that point where you are constantly having waitlisted books coming available.
