My best mates dad has just passed away , and whilst I feel a spare part I’d like to just knock up a hamper of some treats to take around to cheer him up.

I’ve got his favourite beer, teabags , crunchies and choc hob nobs!

Any other general things to pop in?

Cheers

Crisps. A book/DVD or two that might give him some distraction during this tough time.

I don't think you need to cheer him up.

But i do think you going round to drink those beers with him* will be absolutely mean alot.

*Leave to poor bloke the biscuits etc though.

Also take some pizza to chuck in the oven.

Make a bit pot of his fav stew/curry/chilli and portion it up into meals so it’s an easy freezer dinner choice, and include a bottle of Balvenie Doublewood and medjool dates as they pair well together

Oh god, when I saw the thread title I was going to suggest lube, but thankfully I read the OP.

You can’t put time in a hamper. But as above, give him some of that.

Time. Tea. Kites. Piss-taking and general camaraderie.

Know anyone who has a silly affable cockapoo? My parents cockapoo introduces herself to everyone as if they are a dearly loved long lost relative. She should have been a therapy dog.
