My sister has just been told she needs to rest for 12 weeks due to a spinal fracture. I haven't lived in Ireland for 20+ years so don't know any good companies! Will Google but recommendations are always better.

She's early 40's, has two kids (one primary and one secondary). I'd like to send her something she can enjoy while not moving much - a bit like the Don'tBuyHerFlowers packages in the UK (a good book, some snacks, cosy socks etc).

Anyone used any good company?

If your sister is fond of reading, this bookshop does a subscription thingy, where they send you books for a chosen period e.g. three months..
sorry, I can't actually see how often they send them in that three month period, but you can check it out if you think it would be good.
Wishing your sister well.

This one looks good too

These are not personal recommendations BTW, they just look good. I do know The Book Centre shop, it's a very good bookshop.

What a great idea and thanks for your other lovely suggestions. Much appreciated. Anything to keep her busy at home and not sinking into a Netflix coma!
