Satin Sleep Mask
Rest is so important following surgery and this luxurious Satin Sleep Mask blocks out light to enhance the quality of your loved one’s sleep both in hospital and whilst recovering at home. Size w225mm x h120mm, d20mm. (Random colour allocation)
Ear Plugs with Travel Case (1 pair of Ear Plugs)
Sleep is especially important when recovering from surgery and these reusable, noise reduction, ear plugs can help to block out unwanted noise, enabling your loved one to get some uninterrupted rest - especially if they're trying to sleep during a hospital stay. Made from PU sponge they have just the right slow rebound time for soft and comfortable sleep. The handy travel case makes them ideal to pop in a hospital bag. Size 2.5 cm in length and 1cm in diameter (approx.) (Random colour allocation)
Compression Socks (One size fits UK 7.5 - 12)
Compression socks are often recommended after surgery to prevent blood clots developing in the leg. If your loved one has to wear compression socks they should be issued with a standard NHS pair, but we think these socks are so much nicer. Plus if compression socks are recommended, they should usually be worn as much as possible, day and night, so an extra pair will always come in handy. 10-25mmHg compression. (Random colour allocation)
Shower Wipe
Bathing or showering can be difficult after surgery due to concerns over getting dressings wet and difficulties moving. This extra large shower wipe will help your loved one freshen up. Dual sided, with one side cleansing and the other exfoliating, the wipe removes sweat, dirt and odour – a shower in a sachet.
Organic Hand Sanitiser (10ml)
Infection prevention is important during a hospital stay and this Bloomtown Hand Sanitiser Spray will enable your loved one to keep their hands (and surfaces) hygienically clean even when they don’t have easy access to soap and water. Formulated with 70% organic alcohol and essential oils, it kills 99.9% of germs, leaving hands feeling refreshed with a pleasant lemon and subtle spice scent. The mini bottle is the perfect size for popping into a hospital bag. 10ml bottle = approximately 75 spritzes.
Peppermint Xylitol Chewing Gum (15g / 10 pieces)
Many people feel nauseous after surgery and mint is well known for relieving nausea. This minty fresh gum is sugar-free and sweetened with 100% Xylitol, a naturally derived ingredient. Chewing Xylitol gum can help to relieve a dry mouth which is common after having a general anaesthetic which some surgeries require.
Neat Natural Energy Bar (2 x 45g bars)
Your loved one may not be able to eat anything prior to their surgery so when they come round they are likely to be hungry! Neat Natural Energy Bars are a delicious and nutritious vegan snack bar made using natural ingredients with no added sugar and no palm oil. (Random flavour allocation)
Thinking of You Postcard
Our exclusive 'Thinking of You' Postcard comes in a crisp, white envelope and is a perfect way to send a message to your loved one. We can write the message for you - just let us know when you check out.
