Okay, I need to send some kind of gift to a boy in the hospital with special needs. He is 24 and won't like anything 'kiddie', but he loves construction trucks/equipment, music, movies, pictures. I don't want to send him flowers because he can't enjoy them and he doesn't eat so I can't send him a candy/food basket. Any ideas of something I can order that can be delivered today or tomorrow? I have no idea where to start!

Also, he doesn't read at all but he does like to look at books with pictures of trucks and stuff. He doesn't write or color or anything like that either.

I'm really close with him and his family, so I really wanted it to be a surprise for them all.

Thanks for all the advice... really appreciate it!! I decided to just go to the city he lives in and stay for the weekend. I'll do some shopping then and deliver it myself. You guys did give me some really great ideas! Since I can't decide which one is best (since they're all thoughtful), this question will be left to voters.

Well, you answered your own question. A book on trucks or something of that nature, or a good movie on DVD would be great. As a mother of a son with special needs, my son does not read either but wow! does he know everything about sharks!! You might find out what kind of music he likes and get a CD too. It's not hard. Even tho he's 24 doesn't mean he won't like anything juvenile. My son is 30 but has the mentality of a 10 yr old, so I gear things for him in that range. It works.

How about a nice pop up book? Here are a few to look for that are truck related. Here is one to look for:
Truck Jam: A Pop Up Book (Hardcover)
by Paul Stickland
Or a book that has sounds? Here another one for you.
Big Noisy Trucks and Diggers (Board book)
by Caterpillar

Amazon.com has some great Photographic journals and Picture books on Caterpillar Earth Moving Equipment; and you could get overnight delivery if you are willing to pay for it. They are not "kiddie", but coffee table type high quality glossy photo journals.
Good luck.

Contact his guardian / case manager for advice. Also the guardian may be able to purchase and deliver the gift in your name after you make arrangements to purchase.
