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.

An Alexa or Google voice activated assistant (and setting it up for them), so they can watch movies, play music, etc.

3 months of netflix, prime, audiobook membership, etc

Tobii eye-tracker for gaming/mouse movements, foot pedal buttons

Foot dexterity toys, balls, rocks - so they can get better using their feet and toes.

A ebook with voice activation

A big touch screen monitor hooked up to their cellphone / computer so they can do computer stuff with their feet. And screencast/chromecast to a big tv display. So navigate with feet, and big display for easy viewing.

A huge cost-co sized bottle of anti-diarrheal pills.

A stadium pal, or leg strapped urinal device.

Gag gifts

Sign up for you friend to get visited by the mormons or the 7th day adventists (I mean, he has to fill his days doing something, right?)
