after a really bad car accident, she was almost deceased when paramedics arrived, after being in shock trama for a month and a rehab hospital for 2 weeks, yay she is coming home. She is 19 years old, loves horses, has horses and was going to college to be a Equine Vet. We are freinds of her parents, actually, my hubby is her dad's boss. We are freinds also. Any suggestions? thanks

A nice basket of bath and skin products. Scented candles would be nice in there too. She can pamper herself.
You're a very thoughtful friend. I am glad she pulled through.

Well first things first. A good homecooked meal delivered in disposable pans is great help because her family is probably busy enough taking care of her or bills or catching up on things that were missed while she was in the hospital. Be creative and make it with love. :)
If she still has limited abilities (like can't be active, can't work.. stuff like that), then its good to get her a care basket of things that will occupy her but that are geared toward her future so that this whole accident doesnt set her back. Try getting her picture books of horses or educational/textbook type books on horses and equine veterinary practice. Barnes and Noble carries a beautiful real leather journal that has a sillouette of horses on the cover.
A luxury basket would also be great since she is a girl. A really nice fragrance, a really soft throw-blanket, bubble bath, makeup and face mask. Girly stuff like that goes a long way when it is high quality cuz it really makes the person feel special and adds beauty to everyday.
Good luck, and I salute you for getting her a gift.

After my friend had a really serious operation, i sent her a care package. oils, candles, hair products, moisturisers, a soft pillow or blanket, books, handheld games, magazines, anything that might help to make her feel better and things that she can do that don't require too much movement (coz she was bed-ridden after the operation).
If she likes horses maybe you could by her some art supplies relating to horses, so she could learn to paint or draw them.
I wish her the best of luck.

You know what, Sweetie,
I had a long hospital stay. I had my fill of flowers and cards, and tabloid magazines.
The thing I loved most when I got home was my best friends gave me a manicure\pedicure, and a facial. Let's face it, the hospital may make you better, but the salon treatment makes a new woman out of you!
Plus the girl talk and ability to just relax was so needed.

Well its wonderful that she is coming home. Seeing she will probably need to rest how about a nice throw with horses on it and a couple horse magazines.
And try to bring the items to her home, Im sure she will enjoy a short visit.

A beautiful statue of a horse? A picture? I mean the obvious answer would be a horse... probably not practical for you or her. The best thing you can do is go visit her, and give her your time.

Make her a gift basket with a take care of yourself package. bubble bath, candles, chocolates, see if you can find a couple novels with horse-themes or movies, (they can have other themes of things she likes.) Maybe even a comfy pair of pajamas or bath robe. And make up a nice card saying she should take the time to take care of herself and get better, and that your there for her if she needs anything.

Some comfy sweats or PJ's that are easy to get in and out of, comfy slippers etc.
Have dinner delivered.
Offer to do basic housework (Vacuum, dust, dishes) or send a maid service.
If her body can handle it, maybe a massage therapist or aesthetician (for a facial).
Movies, magazines, books.

i am so glad she is alive! if shes religious, you can always go for a prayer book that would help her get through this. offering to help clean the house or cook some meals when she needs it is also good. a horse themed get well basket would be cute too! good luck =]
