Hi,
I'm hoping someone can give me some inspiration. My DAunt is in hospital for a week and will most likely have to spend Christmas there.

She has diabetes and has trouble walking and doesn't have any hobbies anymore so I can't think of a single thing to get her.

ThanksThanksin advance to anyone willing to help.

Kindle?
Hand cream?
Magazine subscription?
Puzzle books / craft stuff that can be done from hospital?

Audio books on an MP3 player? Lovely warm socks? I am sure an hour of your company will be the nicest present Smile

Bed jacket

Do they still make bed jackets?

Perhaps a mini hamper of stuff-I'm in hospital at the moment and would suggest

Hand cream
Perhaps a soft drink
Wrapped diabetic chocolate
A magazine or little fun book
A fragranced balm you could wear on your wrist?
Lip balm
Bed socks
A Ribena water flavour (not sure what the actual name is)

A YuYu for when she gets home! Full body length hot water bottle - they are the best things ever and if she has pain walking they are a godsend. And then maybe a book or jigsaw for whilst she's in hospital.

Don't get diabetic chocolate as it can give you the shits High cocoa dark chocolate ,over 70% is fine
