22 Gifts For Bedridden Mom

Finding the perfect gift for a loved one who is bedridden or on bed rest due to pregnancy/ post-surgery seems arduous, but you are at the right place.

Gift-giving can be difficult during the best of times, so what do you get someone who can’t even leave their bed? Here are some fantastic ideas for the wonderful folks in your life.

Today I would like to offer you some bedridden gift ideas for a friend, relative, family member or acquaintance who has to spend a few days in the hospital.

#1 A Bed Sheet Set

Freshly washed linens are the best, and something even better than that is a new set of bedsheets and pillows!

Receiving something new makes everyone happy and receiving a new bedsheet and pillow set can brighten their spirits since they spend the most time on the bed.

These Bedsheets are designed in such a way that it complements the color and pattern of your space giving you a warm feel at your home. 

Crafted with happiness, our sheet provides a soft and a comfortable feel to your skin moreover our sheet is anti-allergic. 

#2 A New Book

If your mom has a favorite author or genre of reading material, get them a new book or two to enjoy and pass the time while they’re stuck in bed. 

Happy Little Accidents: The Wit & Wisdom of Bob Ross is a tribute to Bob Ross-the soft-spoken artist known for painting happy clouds, mountains, and trees.

Happy Little Accidents culls his most wise and witty words into one delightful package.

His style and encouraging words are a form of therapy for the weary, but with Bob it is always about more than painting. 

#3 A Digital Photo Frame

Digital photo frames may seem a little out of date! But what an awesome gift for someone who is bedridden. You can enjoy some time together by making up different photo playlists.

Nix Advance turns on when you enter the room to display the most recent photos & videos and turns off when you leave.

For the ultimate convenience, Nix Advance allows you to set the frame to switch off after sensing no movement for 5 minutes up to 1 hour. 

#4 A Self-care Gift set

Making a gift basket for mom can be tricky but with some self-care items and snacks, that are both tasty and healthy, you can make one she will be happy to get.

These all-natural fruit strips are made with no added sugar and without any artificial flavors or preservatives. 

You’ll find when you eat them, they’re best by the bunch, so pack a sack full as part of your lunch. 

#5 A Coloring Book

Give the gift of something fun and enjoyable to do for the mom who has to stay in bed. Include a set or deluxe coloring pencils or markers to go along with the coloring book.

Join millions of adults around the world who are rediscovering the simple relaxation and joy of coloring! 

This Simple 1-2-3™ Color and Frame – In the Garden coloring book features the art of Lily Ashbury.

#6 A Card making Book

This is a fantastic craft because it is actually practical. Your loved one will be making everyone they know feel special because they will start receiving handmade cards for every occasion.

There are so many card making kits available there really is something for everybody. 

#7 A Body Pillow

Get someone on pregnancy bed rest a body pillow, and you’ll introduce them to their new best friend. Body pillows are instrumental in keeping them resting comfortably all day long.

This full body pregnancy pillow provides the perfect balance between comfort and support for your belly, hips, legs, and back. 

Enjoy superior comfort while you sleep or even just lounge around.

#8 A Snack Gift Basket

A snack gift basket is a tasty addition on top of their bedside table. If they spend time alone in the house, they don’t have to worry about preparing a mid-day snack for themselves.

Include some healthy and some not so healthy, but oh so delicious items to make the gift basket a fun gift. Also, pay attention to their dietary restrictions, if any.

#9 A Nice Pair of Pajamas

Gift the person with a new pair of PJs as a welcome home gift after their surgery. There’s nothing better than slipping into brand-new pajamas after having been in hospital scrubs for days on end.

Super soft pajama set for women is made of 95% bamboo viscose +5% spandex, perfect for ladies with night sweats. 

#10 An Audible Book

If you have never tried audible books yourself you should give it a go. It is so relaxing and comforting especially when you are immobilized and on your own for a large part of the day. See the free sign up here at Amazon.

#11 A Thumb Stone

Have they been too worried lately? If yes, an inspirational and soothing gift like a thumb stone (worry stone) can be helpful.

Many crystal therapists train and practice right here in the UK, bringing a refreshing new way of thinking to people dissatisfied with conventional medical treatment.

Crystal therapy is an ancient healing system concerned with treating patients holistically through the precise placement of crystals on the body and the surrounding room.

#12 A Heated Blanket

It can be hard to stay warm enough when someone is largely immobile due to bed rest after surgery. Help them stay cozy with a heated blanket large enough to cover their bed.

The Remote-control heating element maintains an even temperature throughout the blanket with high, medium, and low settings and a 2-hour automatic shutoff. 

#13 A Lap Desk

The bedside caddy in the picture below is one of my all-time favorites. I am not bedridden, but I have one, and I love it!

Lap desks are handy when one is bedridden. They come in many shapes and sizes so finding one to suit should be easy.

Using the Home Office Pro will be like working on a cloud. While the padded wrist rest and bolster cushion provide comfort, the sturdy surface will accommodate each and every task. 

#14 A Special Plushie

Studies have shown laughter truly is contagious and there are so many physical and mental benefits of laughing that this gift idea makes perfect sense.

This cheery Snowman features a soft, white, plush outer material with black hat and carrot shaped nose and googly eyes. 

Push the button on his left hand, and he plays Jingle Bells, vibrates up and down and roars with laughter! 

#15 A Flower Bouquet

There’s nothing like having a brightly colored bouquet of flowers on the bedside when you’re recovering from surgery. 

Bring the beauty of the garden into their room to brighten up their environment.

This beautiful flower bouquet ships directly from our farms in the flowers’ bud stage to ensure a long life; the blooms will open in 2 or 3 days. We pick most flowers in bud form.

#16 A Special Lamp

Himalayan Salt Lamps are believed to have many health benefits that make them a perfect gift for anyone who is recovering from an illness.

Pure and Natural: Expertly hand-carved from authentic Himalayan Salt found only in Pakistan. 

Each and every lamp has a unique and distinctive shape, approximately 10-12” tall and 11-15 lb in weight. 

#17 An Inspirational Wall Art

There’s nothing worse than having a blank wall to stare at when you’re stuck in bed. 

Give the gift of visual encouragement with an inspirational quote on canvas or a comforting piece of wall art for them to enjoy.

Lion’s Hunt. A reminder that talk is cheap, most are willing to say they will do things, few will take action and actually do them.

#18 A Knitting Kit

If your friend or loved one enjoys crafting and learning new things, give them a craft kit, so they can learn a new technique such as crochet or knitting. 

Always check to make sure the kit includes everything they’ll need to complete the project.

Calm Club Comfort Blanket – Mindfulness Blanket Knitting KitDid you know that knitting is a meditative relaxation tool that offers health benefits and improves your overall well-being?

We live in a frenetic era where things get disordered, anxiety-driven, frenzied, and frantic. 

#19 A Neck Pillow

A neck pillow will save them the discomfort but even better is a neck and shoulder pain pad designed to relieve pain. 

It can be heated in the microwave or cooled in the refrigerator, and it is odor-free. Soft and soothing, the Microwaveable Neck Wrap from Bed Buddy provides targeted pain relief for your neck and shoulders.

Microwave it for a warm session, or freeze for cool pressure to a problem area. Dried lavender offers a calming scent.
