| My next door neighbor, who we're friendly with, but not very close to, has been in the hospital on and off for a month. We'd still like to do something nice for he and his wife. I brought his wife a pot of spaghetti the first time he was in the hospital so she wouldn't have to cook for a couple of nights, but am looking for other ideas. He's allergic to flowers so that's out. TIA! |

| Having spent a lot of time bedside at Children's Hospital with my son, I can tell you that a small care package to be used in the hospital by visiting family can be really welcome. You can put in things like hard candies or throat lozenges (hospital air is so dry!), reusable water bottle that fits under the hospital water and ice dispenser, thermal cup to keep hot drinks hot along with stress-reducing herbal tea bags, unscented or lavender hand cream, magazines, chocolates, change for the vending machines, stationery and stamps, ...really, whatever comes to mind that would help family pass the time and would reduce their stress and help them be more comfortable in that environment. |
