 Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 6:05 pm Post subject: What is an appropriate gift idea to send a man who is ill? |

| One of my colleagues is not keeping well for a few days. Nothing serious though….but still I hope he recovers soon. The doctors have advised him to take rest for a couple of days and I will be paying a visit there. He is a jolly good person and he will be happy to see me…but I think that a nice gift…..something like a photo frame or any house decorative ones will be good. He has a flare for these kind of items. Can you suggest me some good ones. |

Hi, It’s very sad to know about your acquaintance. But hope that he recovers soon. Send him some inspirational gift or inspirational quotes. If you are a poet then write a poem for him. That’s really explained how you care him and since you are thinking of a visit…then something to carry would be better. I had been recently gifted a show piece by my friend as I had bought a new home and that really caught my attention. I would advice you to get the same sort of decorative homeware as you said that he already has an interest in these things.
Good luck !!! |

| Well, because I have a warped sense of humour, and because you said he is a jolly sort of chap, (and if the man is not seriously ill of course), I'd buy him a DIY will kit. That should get him up and going again in no time. |

Hope your friend is feeling better now and that you found him a nice gift.
As for suggesting to a complete stranger giving someone a DIY will kit, how is that even remotely funny? |

this post is probably outdated but thought I'd send an idea for a gift anyway.
How about some great magazines about home decor / decorating. I love getting them myself.
Sometimes a book on just pictures of lovely homes is inspirational and gives you ideas of what you'd like for your house.
I have a book I've had for over 20 years and I still love looking at the pictures because sometimes my eyes and brain don't want to read, just look - and the pictures are always pleasant to view and often I notice something new I hadn't seen before. It is a book about lovely architecture and home decor in Mexico.
good luck |

Ok.
I'd personally have suggested a bottle of wine, but I guess that idea is ... er ... well, in actual fact, I'd want the wine, to be honest.  |

I buy everyone chocolate  Seems to be universally good! If they don't want to eat it straight away they can wait for as long as they like  |
