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.

    A long-handled scratcher. For reaching places that the casts are now not going to allow his arms to bend towards.

    His arms are also going to get itchy AF inside those casts.

    And for shits and giggles, get him a few rubber model cockroaches to stuff down inside those casts the day of their removal. Or really, any small rubber insect that is disagreeable to most people.

    You don’t give your friend a thing, you give his poor wife something. A bidet goes so long and pregnancy itself is hard.

    Seriously: Offer her to do some chores like shopping, gift them some take-away gift cards,etc. The situation will put a serious strain on their relationship,

    Gag gift. Since he broke both arms, and wrists, he hopefully can still hold something lightweight.
