This is an interesting question which I know all you wonderful moms can help with............
So my friend finally put his son into rehab; ____@____.com birthday is coming up and I was wondering what to get him. He has done 30 days will do another 60 (personally 90 days is really not enough HENSE Whitney Houston). So what gift do I give to him?? Gift card?? if so what kind?? Or any other suggestions but pls no books on life's lessons I'm sure he is getting enough of that besides it's not my place to preach tried it way back when and neither he nor his parents were interested. SUGGESTIONS please
If he's into music -get him an iTunes gift card and a nice Birthday card to put it in. I think anyone would like that, and no matter where he is -he can enjoy music! There have been low times in my life where music really made a huge difference.
I second the iTunes gift card (if he has a device). If not, I would do a gift card to Target along with a warm, but lightweight sweater. Rehab setting s(along with withdrawls) tend to be very chilly and depersonalizing. A spring weight sweater along with a gift card to go shopping when comes home would be nice.
I don't think I would buy gift cards. They can be sold for money. I would buy the article of clothing or CD that he likes. If the facility has an "account" for them, you put in a couple of bucks for phone calls and such but I think I would stay away from gift cards. When my nephew was in a facility they told us to not give gift cards. I hope he is taking this opportunity seriously. Good luck!
I agree with a gift card. You might find out if he likes Starbucks or some other type of restaurant. You could always get a Target gift card too....anyone could use that.
Stay away from giving him money...you know what that would be spent on....
I am assuming this is in-house....so if you buy a gift card, please make sure it can used online.
