Childrens gifts for childrens hospice

8 replies

Sorry to post this on AIBU, I was hoping this might get a bit more traffic.

Where I live they are doing a charity for childrens hospice. You basically go and pick a ticket and it says girl/boy & age range.

I have a bit of 0-1 years
& a girl of 3-5 years.

I was hoping for some advice on what you would get?

I don’t really mind about cost, I just want to get these children something really lovely.
it breaks my heart that children of any age need to be in a hospice.

I thought about a walker at first for the 1 year old, but then their illness could obviously be making them immobile.

Can anyone help with any ideas x

What about a musical instrument like you could get a couple of the baby einstein xylophones they are magical for 1 year olds. They can play preset somgs or the baby can play them freestyle and older children can follow a pattern to learn a song and they can be used in a hospital bed or cot, or on the floor www.amazon.co.uk/Baby-Einstein-Xylophone-Wooden-Musical/dp/B07R1YMBRS/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=30TKRK2FZFCNY&keywords=baby+einstein+xylophone&qid=1668855327&sprefix=baby+einstein+xylophone%2Caps%2C130&sr=8-2

Baby sensory toys for the 0-1 year old and something to do for the 3-5 year old as they must get bored, maybe an Aquadoodle? That would be less free and suitable for a range of abilities.

Something like this for the girl

Anything V tech for the boy, my kids loved all their toys at that age

Or maybe some really nice character pyjamas or dressing gown?

My daughter uses a childrens hospice, the most lovely gifts she’s received have been soft sensory toys such as light up/musical teddy’s and cushions, however she’s profoundly disabled. Other Hospice users are not always so disabled, a wide range of gifts would probably be appreciated by the hospice and they can allocate according to the childrens interests and ability.

I am so sorry to hear that @Dachshund40
