Good gifts for Father's Day?

My Dad's 86, immobile, can't see very well and sometimes finds it difficult to follow what's going on. I'm struggling to think what to get him for Father's Day.

I was giving him sweeties but he's on the stage of getting thickeners in his drinks because his chewing/swallowing function is failing.

He sometimes likes listening to music but also will get upset at certain songs (presumably they're triggering memories) so that's quite difficult as well.

I got him an audio book the last time, is there anything else anyone can think of? I guess toiletries might work too.

Does he feel the cold? My dad like a gilet that he can easily pop and off depending on how hot or cold he's feeling.

E-book if he reads, or an audiobook subscription
A father's day slideshow
Good headphones if he uses them
Toiletries are great and always useful
