Gifts for my best friend who broke both of his arms?

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.

Anything that makes him want to masturbate. Oh, wait… you were trying to cheer him up.

Ngl I was considering a suction cup fleshlight as a gag gift but his wife would kill me

wait they make those?? I bet the suction cups don’t hold up. do you have a link, I think I’ll need to test this for myself, for science.

Juggling balls.

Then spend a lot of time hanging out with him while he recovers.

As someone mentioned, an Alexa speaker. You mentioned a young kid and Amazon Kids has some great audio games you can play. I’ve had a blast either playing along with my kiddo or just watching him. Plus you can connect them for use as an intercom.

Occasional outings and a change of scenery might be appreciated as time goes on.

Folding doors, you can just kick them open because they have a hinge in the middle. Bin with foot-lever.

Chessboard, bro can play a tournament by calling his move and having his opponent move his piece. Queen to e7, checkmate, and his opponent has no choice but to move his piece!

So depending on how much hand dexterity he has left with the broken wrists I suggest a back scratcher and one of those reacher grabber arms.

A GoFund me page!

If that’s something you want to do and/or help manage for them, make sure to set it up in the one of their name(s) for tax purposes.

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.

The Powerglove!

In all seriousness, if you want to be helpful the best thing you can do is spend some time with him in person. He can tell you what he needs, and you can show him you care. If I got seriously crippled like this I probably would start thinking that none of my friends will make time for me because I have become a burden. Prove that nasty self-talk wrong!

Sadly I’m 3 timezones away.
