If so you could do an itunes giftcard so she could download some music, games, a book to read, etc. You could even give her a list of games you guys could play with her (words with friends and such) or a 'playlist' of happy/positive/inspiring songs to download. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/needs-ideas-gift-for-friend-35-wks-prego-and-in-hospital-over-xmas#post-1291092 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:12:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 1291092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe videos or a netflix subscription so she can watch something besides daytime tv? That depends on if she has internet and a computer though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/needs-ideas-gift-for-friend-35-wks-prego-and-in-hospital-over-xmas#post-1290999 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:48:02 +0000 lilyann 1290999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your poor friend!! I would send some gossip/fashion type magazines, nice lip balm, dry shampoo...kind of depends on your friend's interests though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/needs-ideas-gift-for-friend-35-wks-prego-and-in-hospital-over-xmas#post-1290998 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:47:31 +0000 cmomma17 1290998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A photo book, framed photo, or some kind of decor to put up in her room? Magazines to flip through. Scented hand lotion, fun cozy socks, mini versions of board games she could play with visitors. Crossword puzzle books and other activities if you think she might be bored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/needs-ideas-gift-for-friend-35-wks-prego-and-in-hospital-over-xmas#post-1290990 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:43:33 +0000 buffalove 1290990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Background: I have a friend who is 35 weeks pregnant with twins, high risk due to type 1 diabetes. Her preeclampsia kicked into high gear this week and she's in the hospital until the twins are born. They're hoping to keep the babies in until 36 weeks. Babies are doing well, but mama is having issues. </p> <p>Question: Some friends and I want to do something for her but are at a loss. We all live 3+ hours away, can't go visit since it's 5 days before Christmas, and had already sent her a care package including a robe, slippers, and comfy pj's last week when she was on bed rest at home. </p> <p>Any ideas for me? Food is out (diabetes). what else? </p>
