A gift for someone who can’t eat or drink

As per the title. We have someone we would usually buy something like a bottle of whiskey or something, but they’ve been very poorly and can’t currently eat or drink. We don’t really know him well enough to know what to buy him. Any ideas under £25?

Pile of magazines - an interest if you know it, or wide general ones like national geographic

Cashmere bed socks.

Will they be able to eat/drink in due course? You say “currently”. Whisky doesn’t go off!

Book, two even better

Initially they said he wouldn’t, then they said he might, but it’s unknown just yet. He’d love whiskey ordinarily. I think we bought that last year

Thanks everyone, I’ve ordered a book on something he’s shown interest in lately. Fingers crossed!
