| A friend's DD will be laid up in bed for a while recovering from spinal fusion surgery. What would your young teen appreciate in a gift basket? Already planning on some silly comfy pajamas and slippers, but not sure what else. |

My teen loves taking the quizzes in teen magazines.
Face masks soft animal throw pillow Yoga pants Hydro Flask water bottle is very popular with her friends |

If she has a phone, tablet, or access to TV with Roku or similar: an Audible subscription so she can buy audiobooks, or iTunes so she can rent/buy movies or tv episodes.
She may be in pain and want to lie flat, at least for a while, so audiobooks would be a good distraction. |

No iTunes. She likely has a subscription to stream music, movies and tv shows already. I always say food is the safest. My son loved food when we was stuck in bed for a long time recovery from surgery. Friends brought him comfort snacks we wouldn’t usually buy. You know if she would like junk or healthy food.
Personally I’m a fan of face masks and find them relaxing but some of my friends and family don’t like them. |

| Find out if she likes crochet or knitting. |

| When I had surgery as a 13 year old, a friend of mine gave me the Lord of the Rings books. Of course, this was before the movies came out. I thought it was pretty cool. |

| Cartoon books, like The Far Side. |

Mad Libs - she can play when people come to visit her.
Also, she'll be up and walking within a week. She won't be laying in bed for weeks. |
