Gift advice....quick!!!?

Okay, I need to send some kind of gift to a boy in the hospital with special needs. He is 24 and won't like anything 'kiddie', but he loves construction trucks/equipment, music, movies, pictures. I don't want to send him flowers because he can't enjoy them and he doesn't eat so I can't send him a candy/food basket. Any ideas of something I can order that can be delivered today or tomorrow? I have no idea where to start!

Gift advice....quick!!!?
Well, you answered your own question. A book on trucks or something of that nature, or a good movie on DVD would be great. As a mother of a son with special needs, my son does not read either but wow! does he know everything about sharks!! You might find out what kind of music he likes and get a CD too. It's not hard. Even tho he's 24 doesn't mean he won't like anything juvenile. My son is 30 but has the mentality of a 10 yr old, so I gear things for him in that range. It works.
Reply:Get him a movie about demolision or something... you could get him a CD if he has a player - dont know how much you want to spend... if you got lots of $$ and ipod
Reply:A Tonka truck?
Reply:How about a nice pop up book? Here are a few to look for that are truck related. Here is one to look for:



Truck Jam: A Pop Up Book (Hardcover)

by Paul Stickland



Or a book that has sounds? Here another one for you.

Reply:Contact his guardian / case manager for advice. Also the guardian may be able to purchase and deliver the gift in your name after you make arrangements to purchase.
Reply:Amazon.com has some great Photographic journals and Picture books on Caterpillar Earth Moving Equipment; and you could get overnight delivery if you are willing to pay for it. They are not "kiddie", but coffee table type high quality glossy photo journals.

Good luck.
