Maybe wait until the lady concerned has returned home & then send flowers ๐Ÿ’

My son in law's Mum had a stroke a few weeks ago. Although we live at opposite ends of the country, we've spent lots of Christmases together and also been on family holidays. She's a lovely lady and I'm sure we'd be good friends if we lived closer.

She's in a stroke unit where she's having intensive therapy. I'd really like to send her something but I'm struggling for an appropriate gift. Looking online there's a lot of gifts to "aid recovery" but I don't feel we're close enough for those sort of gifts to be appropriate. I'm at a bit of a loss - any ideas gratefully received.
