Problem: As if the surgery your co-worker just underwent wasn’t bad enough, she’s stuck in the hospital for a few more days of recovery. While friends and family pay their visits, she’s nervous about the flimsy—and less-than-attractive—hospital gown.

Solution: Send your friend a DIgNI-tee ($30, ivwear.com)—stat. The stylish and comfortable alternative to the traditional hospital gowns provides lightweight comfort, while the plastic snaps down the sides and arms of the shirt provide easy access—and necessary coverage. Available in all standard sizes and a range of colors, this machine washable garment will help her feel like herself, even if she’s not spending the night on her own bed.
