What is a good get well gift for my guy friend who's recovering from surgery?

What does he like to do? If read, get magazines or books, if play video games, get a handheld game, if crosswords, or sudoko, or that sort of thing, get him that, if movies, get him a few new DVD's. I assume these will be things for after he is out of the hospital? If in, you will have to contend yourself with things he can have there and then get him something else once he is home. What sort of surgery? This is also to be thought about...

When I was recovering from surgery in the hospital my sister got me some magazines. They were good becuase I didn't have the stamina to read a book. She got me like Maxim, National Geographic, Discover, Skeptical Inquirer, things like that becuase I really like science. Anyway, magazines aren't too expensive and could help him pass the time.

A good book or a crossword puzzle book. He is going to be spending sometime in bed he might as well enjoy it!

something funny that will make him laugh and cheer him up. get him some balloons with like sesame street characters on them and maybe a hand held game to play with while hes stuck in bed...

something that will make the person laugh
