Care Package Ideas for a Sick Mommy-To-Be?

e_v_v

Hello all,

A very dear friend of mine is 10 weeks pregnant and very sick with Hyperemesis Gravidum (http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-complications/hyperemesis-gravidarum/). She is depressed, miserable, and sadly lives across the country from me.

I am looking to put together an encouraging care package for her. Any/all ideas would be absolutely wonderful!

Ginger, peppermint, antacids (if she can take them), pedialyte, Gatorade

Socks, comfy night shirts, comfy pillow, house slippers, books, games, puzzles, magazines, stuff animals, picture frames for the new baby, bath and body stuff (lotions, bubble bath), candles

I am sure I can think of more..

Can I be your friend?

You are an Awesome friend!

Not sure if she's homebound or not but when I had bed rest for 3 months due to early labor, I loved doing projects. Little arts & crafts for the nursery with paints, stencils, wood, etc. I totally repurposed an old dresser while resting in bed.

Be mindful of strong smells as they may be a trigger but my acrylic paint didn't have a strong smell. I had my hubs spray the stuff with a sealant.
