We’ve all been there. A friend was admitted to the hospital and is feeling down. So you decide to visit and bring a gift, but you don’t want to bring flowers. Get creative and bring them the Hospital Box, a personalized care package keepsake. It’s a great way to brighten their day, and get them on the road to recovery with memorable photos, mementos, notes, priceless trinkets and whatever you think they would love.
My mother in law fell recently. She ended up getting a few bad bruises that she didn’t want her grandchildren to see. She was afraid that they would get upset, so she decided not to visit for a few days. Feeling bad, the kids and I decided to brighten her spirits and personalize a Hospital Box for her. It was a great way for the kids to get involved in helping her feel better, and let her know we were concerned about her.
I opened the box and discovered another box to quickly assemble, a lid, three fabric bags and stickers and directions/suggestions. I sent the kids off to find different items to add to the box that would make “Grammie” feel special.
The Hospital Box comes with three cotton bags you can fill with whatever you think that would brighten their day.
- Open When You Get This Bag: We decided to fill this bag with little notes and cards to explain why we were giving her the Hospital Box.
- Open When You Need A Hug Bag: My daughter decided that Grammie needed a stuffed animal, and found one small enough to fit inside.
- Open When You Feel Bored: My son chose to fill this bag with another stuffed animal, one that would remind Grammie of him. And I decided to add a dog puzzle for when she is truly bored at home.
I also added a few spa like items for relaxing and taking care of her own manicure/pedicure and some lotion. Additionally, I decided to add family photos of all of us when the kids were younger because I knew that would make her smile.
What I love about The Hospital Box:
- It’s convenient! You open the package and assemble the box, which takes about 3 minutes
- The colors are bright and cheerful
- You can personalize it however you want. Photos, trinkets, items needed for recovery etc.
- Light weight and compact
- It’s small enough to sit anywhere in the hospital room, or on any side table at home.
