What can I have delivered to a hospital that isn't food, wine or flowers?!?

My grandfather is in a hospital that doesn't allow flowers, and he is too sick for food/drink gifts.





He lives in another country so I'd like to arrange something to be delivered since I can't visit in person, but I can't think of anything. I would send a car but it would take too long in the mail.

A Barber Shop Quartet to sing him a nice rousing song.
Reply:Is he expected to come out again? It's a delicate matter.
Reply:a beautiful card? a picture of you? a stuffed animal?
Reply:Send him books
Reply:Balloons or you could call a flower shop and explain to them what is going on and they will le tyou know what they have.


Sorry about your grandpa.
Reply:How about a good book to while away the boredom for him.Hope he gets well soon.
Reply:Forget about sending anything, give him a call.
Reply:The best thing you could do would be to write him a brilliant letter, he will read it over and over and treasure it and your love. Material things and his comfort are being dealt with, but your letter will lift his spirits - or could you phone him as well. You sound so caring which makes a change and he is lucky too.
Reply:Card and photoframe with a personal note. But visiting him yourself would mean more to him.
Reply:I think if your Granddad is unwell send a card (with meaning) and write a letter/note to him. It will be better than any gift because he will know you care all those miles away.
Reply:A Teddy Gram (Custom Teddy Bear delivery) or a Singing Telegram Delivery , that might cheer him up and give him a good laugh!
Reply:magazines/books


toiletries (Wet Wipes, shower gel, talc, etc)


CDs


pyjamas


photographs of family
Reply:Use a priority mail service for the card, such as AirSure - takes about 3 days from the UK to most destinations.
Reply:balloons, personalised teddy, photo album, make something for him like a painting or something and sed via a specialist courier company so it wont take long to get there


you could make a tape of his favourite music
Reply:A Vermont Teddy Bear. And I believe you can customize one, too! They are top quality teddy bears and sometimes come with other little gifts. Check out the internet as I'm sure they have a website, just type vermont teddy bear in the search engine. This way he'll have something special to look at that reminds him of you, and depends on how sick he is he can even cuddle with it! :)
Reply:I'm sure you could find a specialty store that could deliver a gift basket of nice items...maybe a book or some magazines (if he can't read for himself, some hospitals have people who volunteer to read to patients), some unscented lotion for his hands or face (hospital air can be drying to the skin). A personalized letter is nice, and some basic necessities, like toothbrush, shampoo, and the like are good because the kinds they have in hospitals are not usually really what most people would pick for themselves. If he likes music, and is able to work with current technologies (or if someone is there who can help him), a personal music player or mp3 player loaded with his type of music would be good, with headphones so he can listen without disturbing other patients.





It's nice that you're thinking of him...the best gift is to let him know that you care!
Reply:Sorry your grandfather is ill Princess.


Could you try to speak to him. You could call the hospital and tell them you live far away and they might be able to arrange for you to have a few words, to let him know you love him and are thinking of him.


God bless both of you xx.
Reply:Pictures of you %26amp; your family and lots %26amp; lots of cards. Send a parcel [shoebox] and put things like his favourite book, favourite smell and get each and every member of your family to write a note to him to tell him they hope he gets better soon. Let him know that all of you are safe but that you hope he gets better soon.


Put lots of rose petals in there, and simple things such as handkerchiefs and photos - less is more.





I hope this helps you. x

Reply:Nah it won't take long, just send the car.
Reply:What kind of hospital can you deliver wine to ? If i get ill i'm going there!
Reply:How about a portable tape recorder - with a tape with a personal message from you and some of his favourite bits of music recorded on to it.
Reply:clothes, (nice ones!)
