I think those referencing things like flowers, plants, or a stuffed animal are kind of missing the point. These are a pretty traditional gifts for someone in the hospital. Heck, I think reasonable people can even see the suggestion of a Lay-Z-Boy or Barcolounger and breast pump. There’s a fundamental difference between giving a loved one something to ease their recovery (Yes, I’d give my wife as much had she passed a kidney stone) and providing a “reward” for what should be what should be one of the most intimate, unselfish experiences a couple can share.
