+1 on slippers and a blanket. My sister was in the hospital for am extended stay so we brought her a soft, plush blanket that she always had wrapped around her

Will he be there for a little while? What does he like for music? Maybe you could send him a portable cd player/radio or ipod with music on it that he will like.

My grandfather (who is in his early 80s) is unexpectedly in the hospital. I'd like to send him a care package and would love some ideas as to what to include. I am thinking of the usual items (snacks, magazines, cards from the kiddos) but was hoping to get some other ideas. Thansk in advance!
