We thought it would be helpful to list the items we found helpful while we were here for others who will soon be coming to Chicago:
- Roku stick and a netflix account. A friend gave us the Roku stick and we had a Netflix account. Great for good tv any time day or night
- A soft electric blanket The warmth is nice in Chicago
- A regular soft blanket that’s a cheerful color
- Your our own pillows (2) with extra pillow cases. The hospital pillows aren’t great and the hospital pillow cases won’t fit your pillows. Jennie said this is the number one item.
- laundry pods – you will need to do your own laundry or send it out
- open a door dash and uber eats account. The address on the phone is not the correct address so check this. We ordered a lot of dinners.
- chapstick
- lotion – it’s dry in Chicago
- long phone and computer charger
- face wipes
- candies or snacks
- teas that you like
- items to hang in the room
- a foam mattress – the bed needs a little extra cushion
- unplug the bed if you feel nauseous. It helps
