Kes: Most of these items require some sighted assistance, but assembly or sorting could be done ahead of time and then included in time for gift-giving. For example, with the Lego kits, Legos could be sorted into separate bags and the instructions could be downloaded onto a thumb drive and included with the kit. Also note that Bard/NLS has a number of D&D books available as downloadable digital audiobooks.

makes accessibility kits to make board games accessible, along with braille puzzles, braille dice, tactile tactic grids, and more. They also sell a braille Rider Tarot Accessibility kit (not sure if these are adhesive-backed or if they are sleeves that fit over the cards).

I am now picturing you wearing socks labeled "sock" in braille. Which, if they said "left sock" and "right sock," I guess might actually be useful--I do have one pair of toe socks with a large L and R woven into the fabric of the appropriate sock.

If you do decide you want sleeves in a different size, they're pretty easy to source in basically any dimension you want. I get most of my sleeves from Mayday, but there are other brands with other size ranges if necessary.

Cool! These are very pretty cards, so sleeves would be a better option.One of my housemates is a games geek, and he's friends with a man who owns a game store, so I suppose I am only two peeps aways from being able to order anything, as long as I have an idea of what to ask for. I didn't even know card sleeves were a thing. Last Christmas a blind guy I know received a braille set of Cards Against Humanity from his girlfriend, who had them made from one of the braille stores.
