What to buy an HG sufferer for Christmas?

You’re making a list and checking it twice… but what do you get for the HG sufferer in your life who can’t leave the house, is triggered by smells and cant eat much apart from a tiny bit of toast?

Thanks to all of the wonderful ideas from Spewing Mummy followers on Facebook and Instagram I have compiled a list with some links that might be helpful in finding that perfect gift!

Pyjamas; as comfortable and soft as you can find to make those hours lying in bed a tiny bit more tolerable.
