how about a book. maybe of poems? that would be nice. also maybe some nice stationary and pen set so she can write down her thoughts and feelings that she has had with father and the good times so she can remember them? good luck and that's very sweet of you =)

Send her chocolates (buy the best you can, and 'dark' is best because it has less sugar and doesn't melt as easily) and a FAT coloring book and the largest box of crayons you can find. Believe it or not, your girlfriend will LOVE IT, because both sick people or their families have TONS of 'waiting time' and coloring is something they can do that is 'mindless' but gives a 'pretty' result ... or a 'dark' result if they are 'depressed' ... also send some plain paper, in case she wants to 'draw' her feelings, but tell her to 'throw them away' if she doesn't want to keep them ... that 'getting rid of dark feelings' is also a HUGE HELP in times of 'need' as she is going through right now. I'm GLAD you sent her an Eeyore, though... Eeyore is 'gloomy' and that is a very comforting 'friend' for her to have to hold and talk to, so it shows me that you really do CARE about this girl/woman ... but are not being 'pushy' because of her situation right now. GOOD FOR YOU! More men should be like you. (I'm married to one, by the way!)

I think a visit might be nice. Books, magazines, some money to get something to eat, comfy slippers or socks, a fleece blanket. Tissues- soft ones, hospital tissues are sandpaper in disguise. Maybe trial size shampoos and soaps. Remember she is sad, she is living in a place that is sad, she needs cheering up. If she isn't taking care of her personal needs, she can't help her dad 100%. Sending her a card, some balloons, (check with the hospital first) some floors you can only send mylar balloons, and some don't permit flowers. Maybe silk flowers. A comfy bathrobe. Good luck.

Be personal. Does she like the outdoors? Draw her a picture, YES! draw! It is very nice. It would make the room seem more cheerful. If you have never spent a day in a hospital room, you don't know how depressing it is. Send pictures of the two of you together, or pictures of flowers. Send a picture of the sunset. Mail a card every day. Send something every day, she (and her father) will be looking forward to getting something new every day. Soon the room will be bright and cheerful.

Books are nice. They can help her pass the time while she's taking care of him (for example, when he's sleeping) A portable DVD player and some movies would also be nice, but quite a bit more expensive...
Also, caregivers get lost in life sometimes. They spend so much time taking care of others that they don't take care of themselves, so a tin of homemade cookies, breads, sweetcakes or biscuits with some nice little jams, and some nice tea might be a welcomed gift... especially if you tell her why you are sending them to her....

You can usually call the hospital and get them to send up something from their gift store if you want to do chocolates. A nice thing to do, depending on how far away it is, is to make her dinner and bring it to her since I'm sure shes not getting as many home made meals. If the distance is really far and you can still drive there, go to some place like outback etc. that does car side to go so that way she feels as if shes being taken out to dinner.

How about yourself. She needs support much more than she needs cuddly toys, flowers, chocolate......
It sounds like the hospital is in another town.GO there for the weekend., rent a hotel room near the hospital. Offer to watch her father while she goes to your room, just to relax or take a shower.

Go for chocolates, they won't go bad in two days :) Maybe some magazine or a book to read.. If she likes special candies.. Like Starbursts or whatever.. Make her a candybasket.. Or something:) And write a little note that you think of her and her dad.. That is something sweet. IMO

Send her a picture of yourself. Doing something cute or funny in the pic to make her smile during this tough time. Write her a long letter. Another good present is go visit her, and just sit next to her and hold her hand. Send a tee shirt that smells like you.

It sounds like she is out of town..?
If so, maybe surprise her and show her your suport by being there with her..
Thats what I would do. That could mean the world to someone more than any gift can give!! :)
Or do something that will make her laugh and smile to brighten her day!! Make her feel love like no other!!
