Hospital stay

My very pregnant daughter in law is going into hospital next week for bed rest prior to a planned C section. She will be there 10 days before the CS.
I want to give her a pack of treats to take in with her for her stay. As only DS can visit and at limited times it won’t be ideal. She is a big reader so has that sorted and took up knitting in lockdown and has projects on the go. Aware though that days are long in these places does anyone please have any ideas of what else I could give her or send with DS? I am at a bit of a loss.

I agree with eye mask -

That is a very good point about the eye mask. Thank you. A few weeks ago she was in on an overnight stay and said she got little sleep so I’m sure it will be very welcome and useful.

A sleep spray to use on her pillow or pjs I use the This works one and find it very comforting. Good luck.

Thank you Katyj I’ve used that one myself. I’ll add that to the list.

A felting kit - for those moments when you just need to stab something?
Some luxury hand cream and some nice body cream for the stretch marks.

Nice hand cream. A bottle of something like elderflower . A book. And some treat biscuits
