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.

Then you should absolutely add one of those rock hide-a-key things to your list just for a laugh.

Lmao that's perfect

Or, if you’re feeling a bit spendy, a keypad lock (find out if they use Schlage or Kwikset or some other key brand to match their existing keys). One of the best ways to prevent being locked out of the house.

Yale makes a nicer keypad deadboot

Wouldn’t be surprised, but matching existing keys is useful. And (in the US anyway) most houses use Schlage or Kwikset.
