Packing for someone else? Send them this.

You’ve been volunteered. Maybe they’re already on the ward. Maybe they’ve just been admitted and you’re standing in their bedroom trying to remember which pyjamas are the right pyjamas, where the charger lives and whether they said slippers or socks. And you’re probably worried.

You don’t need to sort everything out right now. You just need to pack a bag.

Start with Packing Now. That’s the stuff they’re most likely to want first. If you’ve still got another five minutes, do the second list.

If you’re not sure which thing they mean, send a photo. It is quicker than guessing.
