Post-op essentials care package

I am sending one of my friends a surgery week care package. If someone had sent you one of these, what kind of things do you wish had been in it?

I brought Chapstick but never once used it. Deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, lotion, magazines, slippers, stuffed animal for cheering up, journal, etc.

The awesome stick on heat pads that warm up when you put them on and last 12 hours. You can buy them from chemists or sometimes physiotherapists stock them.

Warm fuzzy socks.

LIttle pillow to hold on the tummy when you need to cough.

Lip Balm definitely.
