Gifts for housebound FIL?

I am not sure what to get him. He’s housebound and elderly. His eyes are no longer good enough to read books (he has a tablet and audio books but he’s not really interested).

He has health issues so on a low sugar diet. There’s no clothes he need and we’ve bought him fleecy/heated blankets the past few years so can’t get him another! 😂

I am really stuck with anything to buy him. I talked to MIL but she has no idea either! 🙈

Amazon echo?

Weighted blanket

Bean bag lap tray

Craft gin club

A cheese or chocolate subscription

Would he enjoy a jigsaw puzzle? You can get personalised ones so maybe a family photo with fewer pieces due to his eyesight?

What about a photo album? Or a digital photo frame for him to enjoy?

Would he manage with/get use out of a Netflix or now TV subscription?

Luxury or fleecy bedding perhaps?

Does he have any interests or hobbies he could enjoy at home? Nice pencils/paints and canvas for some art?

Weather station?
Bird feeder for near / on window?

Sturdy slippers so he was safe on the stairs!

Cosy dressing gown.

Bird feeder to attach to window for an interest? With a seed mix to attract the more unusual birds?

Build a hamper of his favourite treats

Bird feeder for the garden

Does he have hobbies or interests? Maybe do a gift certificate type thing where you pledge to spend 1 hour a week doing something whith him related to them?

Is there no way he can leave the house at all?

A portable radio?
