I'll definitely add food to the list (how could I forget?!)</p> <p>@stine_ciro: @LalaYes: I'm so sorry you have firsthand experience with this but appreciate your insight. @LalaYes, I am craving a Marie Calendar's pie bad right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stuff-to-cheer-up-a-friend#post-1228491 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 22:14:52 +0000 LalaYes 1228491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are such a sweet friend! When I had a loss I sent my DH to the store for a Marie Calendar's Chocolate Satin Pie which I ate pretty much by myself over the weekend. It depends on what her indulgences are, but if it were me, I would be delighted by the chocolates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stuff-to-cheer-up-a-friend#post-1228483 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 22:08:26 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1228483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the ideas you have we're great. A friend sent flowers when I had one and just the fact that someone cared enough to send them made me feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stuff-to-cheer-up-a-friend#post-1228409 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:35:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1228409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwww I'm sorry to hear this, but I think you already have some great ideas. The only thing I might add is gift certificates to their favorite restaurant(s) so they can order takeout instead of worrying about cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stuff-to-cheer-up-a-friend#post-1228397 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:28:38 +0000 hummusgirl 1228397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just found out a close friend is having a D&amp;C tomorrow and I want to do something to cheer her up (as much as that's possible given the circumstances). We live across the country so options are limited but I want to send some stuff from Amazon to distract her while she's recovering. Here are initial ideas but I'd love suggestions:<br /> - Funny and/or can't-put-down books (I was thinking the new Hyperbole and a Half but any other suggestions?)<br /> - Magazines like People, US Weekly<br /> - Fancy chocolate<br /> - Comfy pajamas</p> <p>Unfortunately wine shipping is not available in her state. For those that have been through this (or anyone really), anything else that would lift your spirits a little in this situation? </p>
