Looking for gift ideas - MH condition and low concentration at present

[Louisesp82]

Hello! I am looking for a bit of inspiration if possible please, for a friend who is suffering with his mental health at present. Previously an avid reader (generally war/crime books), however currently unable to maintain concentration to read a book (was looking for alternative books he can 'dip in and out of', but nothing is jumping out at me).
Any ideas of presents I could give to hopefully help him would be very much appreciated :)

An incredibly easy to look after plant.

How about some of the old style manual types things lots of info, old pictures from the time, obscure facts, the works usually has them.. it's not something he will have to concentrate on, just flick through when he feels like it

Audio book?

Thank you for your ideas :)

How about a compilation of short stories?

The reason I said "plant" is that I was a massive reader until I became mentally ill, and being given books of any kind when I was depressed just reminded me of my shitness and failure and what I'd lost, and I usually couldn't have concentrated even on audiobooks and short stories anyway. But your friend might be different, of course.

Im really liking all of them, the plant the plant idea is definately a really good one, and thankyou xxx
