1 month hospital stay - what can I give him?

[cornishfrogboy]

One of those ‘colouring in’ books and some pencils.. lots of pencils.

How about one of the battery hand fans as it does get quite hot in hospitals...

This is a brilliant idea, and speaking as a nurse, I can confirm that we are easily attracted by sweets & chocolates, especially when breaks are limited!

And if he kicks off and tries to wreck the joint, I can advise that such items do much to placate the attending Security Team.. in the unlikely event that the Nurses have not already eaten them!

Pack of playing cards or Yahtze dice game
Adult colouring book and pens

Reusable straws , my friend was in hospital and needed them desperately and apparently they didn't have anything and he had to struggle to hold a drink

Loving these ideas ... but best of all the nurse's bait box !

A fleece cushion?

[ginwithaslice]

Lip balm! The hospital air is really drying. If hes into his grooming a good moisturiser too.

When I was in recently a fleece blanket was useful and magazines were good as my attention span for books was rubbish.

Netflix for his iPad a good idea 😉
