It feels really good to know you're giving directly to other people w/ major health conditions. If you have word searches, general fiction novels (nothing triggering so ppl of all backgrounds can enjoy), card games, puzzles, coloring books etc., sweaters, sweatpants, give a hospital near you a call
Biggest joy I've had since getting home from the hospital is gathering paperbacks, card games, sweaters & more to donate to help patients. Some ppl wind up there from the street or fleeing abuse or on the worst night of their life with zero, things are stressful, move slowly, & the A/C is freezing.

My 1 funny hospital story that I will share is I was in a unit with lots of ex-military (bc we all had chronic health conditions) & a sweet young girl would play any songs we wanted. An ex-army medic called out CCR & the first song shuffled to was hilariously "Fortunate Son," the most Nam song ever.
