Hi, I am not visually impaired but my boyfriend is blind. I wanted to get him a gift but I'm not really sure what. I mean I can think of some stuff but nothing that can make it personal like a card would do. Are there any cards in braille that I can get or like stick on letters or just something I can use to make him a card? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
There seems to be some kind of embossing tool you can use and also stickers. Here are some links but you might want to look a bit more than I have on the American Association of the Blind or even call them.

Do you think that might work?
this company says they can do anything but shipping to kenya might be expsnsive (you might want to find several cards for diffeent occasions and have them done up in a group.

there are people that make braille jewelry you can have something "manly but meaningfull made (I don't know if they would ship to kenya though
there are letter wheel embossing tools like this that would be usuful in a ton of every day things if this is serious (sound like it is) it wouldn't be a bad investment. then you can do anything as long as you have the tape I use it all the time.
https://www.maxiaids.com/reizen-rl-350-braille-labeler you have to buy the tape but I've had mine for like 13 years may need a new dail about now but still works. I find low tech is best in same cases, this is one of those cases.
hope I helped
