What I did once was to call the nearest full service grocery store near the hospital
and spoke to the lady in the flower dept. I asked her to make up a basket with a small bouquet in the persons favorite colors, then she included some healthy snacks, magazines of interest to the patient, small bags of peanuts, hand lotion and chap stick, I had checked with a relative first for suggestions, and since she visited the person on a regular basis, and went right by the store, it turned out great and the patient loved it all.
