Re: Should I offer to pay? - kind of long
I would also send a thank you card in the mail with a check in it for the expense. If they really want the money, they can cash the check, if they don't, they can toss the check. This way you are offering and they can decline.

Re: Should I offer to pay? - kind of long
How about a gift certificate in an amount equal to the cost of the LIRR?

Re: Should I offer to pay? - kind of long
I would write a thank you note & a gift card to their favorite restaurant. I don't think it necessarily has to equal the cost of their round trip ticket but I think something to thank them for going above & beyond is warranted.

I agree. I wouldn't even mention that the gift card is any form of reimbursement - they went over and above because they are your friend and that's what friends do. I hope you are feeling better.

I think that is why she is sending them flowers? Or you think something more than flowers?

Re: Should I offer to pay? - kind of long
I'm all for paying people back, etc but you had just passed out, who would have thought to pay for their train tix 
I think the flowers are very nice and the perfect 'amount'.

I agree with this...the flowers are a thank you, but this is sort of a thank you reimbursement which they can opt out of if they so choose.

That is why Im sending them the bouquet. But should I send a gift certificate in addition to that?
Ah reading comprehensioin - not my strong point. Missed the flower part.
I think that's perfectly fine. If I were the friend, I would be touched by the flowers & never dream of letting someone reimburse me.
On the flip side, if I were the faintee (is that a word?), down the line I would probably want to take them out for brunch in addition to the flowers.

Re: Should I offer to pay? - kind of long
If my friend fainted and I took her home on the train, I wouldn't expect her to pay me back for it.
I think the flowers (to be followed by a handwritten thank you) is enough - and a very thoughtful thank you!

Re: Should I offer to pay? - kind of long
How about sending one of those edible arrangements? I think that's more than enough to thank them, friends do stuff like that and don't expect anything in return and it's yummy too!

I agree with this. They wanted to make sure you were safe. This is something they wanted to do for you. I think the flowers and a nice thank you would be a enough.

agreed, I think the flowers are lovely. They did it out of concern for your well being.

Me too. And maybe next time you go out with them, you can offer to pay for lunch or dinner as a thank you. But I think the flowers are a perfect thank you, I am sure they are not looking for reimbursement.
