Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone could give me any good x-mas gift ideas for my boyfriend. He's going on his 5th month w/ his injury and I'd like to get him some gifts that might make things easier for him. Maybe some helpful gadgets. Thanks!! Hope everyone has a great holiday and happy and safe new year. :) ~~Dawna~~

The GIZMO can opener is a great idea! It opens the cans for you and you really have to do nothing! My roomies with 2 arms even think its great! Best of luck!

I bought myself a cutting board with 2 prongs that stick out of out to hold food in place. On the bottom are sunction cups so that the board does not move around on the counter. I love it and use it almost every day. I like to cook and it is very effective for slicing tomatoes, cucumbers, onions etc.... Here is a linkto check out.

Hi,

there's also a kind of "rubbery mat kind of thing" that allows you to place a jar on top of it and twist the lid off without the jar moving around on the counter.

I have been looking everywhere for a nail brush with suction cups to stick on inside of sink for hand washing. Anyone know where to find one?

A whole day sensual message I OWE YOU certificate can help a man who hurts in body, pride and ego mighty well, especially if he's losing the shape that his arm and body used to be due to atrophy. Makes him feel handsome no matter what.
