We all know that hospital rooms are freezing cold. Giving your loved ones a heated blanket can make them feel warm and comfortable while recovering after their surgery — especially if they tend to get chills very easily. Check out this Heated Blanket by MaxKare that heats up pretty quickly, with it’s 4 optional levels (95-113℉). It is also safe to use as it automatically turns off after 4 hours of constant use, so they won’t have to worry about it overheating after forgetting to turn it off. Maintenance is made easy as well because this blanket is machine washable.
2) Novels
It feels like the hands of time stop once you are in a hospital — staying in a closed room all day and night! Thus, boredom strikes! To kill time and fight boredom, you can give your loved ones an interesting novel which can distract them from feeling the pain. How about giving them a copy of All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr? This novel follows the story of Marie-Laure and Werner and how their lives coincide during one of the most tumultuous periods in history. This has won both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Audie Award for Fiction, so it’s definitely worth the read.
3) Herringbone Textured Plush Robe

Wearing their own robes can make them feel more comfortable, especially when walking around the hospital. This knee-length Herringbone Textured Plush Robe is available in seven different colors that they can choose from: Blue, Bright Fuschia Pink, Bright Pink, Dark Coral Pink, Green, Optic White, and Red.
