If you know someone with a leg cast, then you know someone that could use some good cheer. We’ve put together a list of fun and practical gift ideas for the ultimate broken leg care package.
10 Gift Ideas for a Broken Leg Care Package
1. It Hurt T-shirt
If you’ve never broken a leg before, you should know that a leg cast compels complete strangers to ask, “Did it hurt?” That happens every single day until the cast comes off. Every. Single. Day.
Help someone answer that question ever before it’s asked by giving them this It Hurt, Thank You For Asking T-shirt
2. Knee Scooter
KneeRover’s Knee Scooter is a popular and pain-free alternative to crutches. This lightweight, steerable scooter offers a locking handbrake, non-marking rubber wheels, and a convenient basket. The fully adjustable handlebars and knee platform allows the scooter to adjust for any height between 5′ and 6’6″, and it’s robust 300 pound weight capacity ensures safe operation.
It may be a little big to fit in a broken leg care package, but KneeRover’s scooter is the ideal gift when someone you care about needs a break from traditional crutches.
3. Shower Sleeve
Keep casts dry with this reusable, water proof cast protector. The Sealtight Cast Protector is made from a durable polyvinyl material that easily slips over the leg and creates a watertight seal just above the cast – perfect for showers and baths.
4. CastCooler
Give a broken leg sufferer instant relief from a hot, humid cast with CastCooler. The CastCooler design works with the user’s vacuum to pull cool, dry air through breathable casts. The process removes moisture trapped in the cast’s lining, which discourages the growth of itch and odor causing bacteria. It’s also a great way to cool an unbearably hot cast. The CastCooler adjusts to fit around all cast sizes, including leg joints and ankles.
5. Cast Markers
Markers are an thoughtful, inexpensive addition to any broken leg care package. Help someone customize their cast with a 24-count set of Sharpie Color Burst Markers.
6. Stop Itching Spray
There are few things worse than having an itch you can’t scratch. Cast Comfort Stop Itching Spray is specially designed to give cast wearers instant relief from itching. The can’s long applicator tube reaches deep into a leg cast to deliver fast acting relief.
7. iWALK Hands Free Crutch

The iWALK uses adjustable fabric straps and quick on/off buckles to secure the crutch to the leg. It gives broken leg sufferers hands-free mobility without the pain and inconvenience of traditional crutches.
