Does he enjoy reading, if so some books from his favourite genre.
If he has any hobbies or interests some magazines about them.
Puzzle or crossword books if that’s his kind of thing.
Nice snacks and drinks
Netflix account and suggestions of good programs, films etc

Depends what things they normally use to structure their day really:

  • newspaper delivery?
  • music?
  • cupboards stocked with food they like
  • plants if they have a garden and would enjoy working in it
  • some new books?
  • stamps if they might want to write to people?

They would be in a flat so no outside space unfortunately.

I like these ideas most helpful

They love structure and not being stuck inside hence my concern around making it as easy as possible.
