From the Heart: How to Choose a Meaningful Get-Well Gift

“I enjoy being stuck in bed with a fever and chills,” said no one ever.

Being sick stinks, so sending a thoughtful get-well gift can make a world of difference. A “Heal quickly” balloon won’t cut it. 

Below, you’ll find ideas to help you pick out a gift that offers genuine comfort and maybe even a chuckle along the way.

Personalize, Don’t Genericize 

If you really want to avoid generic gifts that scream “I picked this up last-minute,” consider what your under-the-weather recipient actually likes.

Sudoku puzzles, gourmet chocolates, or even that cult-classic novel they’ve been meaning to read all count as thoughtful ideas. When you tailor your gift to the infirmed’s hobbies, it shows you’ve given it more than a fleeting thought.

Comfort Is King

Comfort-based gifts rule the get-well realm. Plush socks, blankets, or basically anything that makes them feel warm and fuzzy (literally) will be a huge hit.

If you want to be extra fancy, throw in an aromatherapy diffuser to transform their sick-bed into a mini spa. Because when you’re under the weather, smelling lavender instead of cough syrup is already a significant upgrade.

The Gift of Actual Help

Here’s a no-wrapping-paper-required gift: lending a helping hand.

Offering to do their laundry, handle the groceries, or drop off a home-cooked meal will make you Thoughtful friend/relative/service-provider #1. 

Trust us, eliminating one more chore is like sprinkling fairy dust on someone’s recovery. Just make sure you have hand sanitizer at the ready. 

Boost Their Spirit

Being laid up can take a toll on the psyche.

That’s where a little emotional support comes in. Slide in a handwritten card brimming with sarcastic but supportive one-liners, or set them up with an audiobook subscription so they can escape into another world.

Or you can be the most awesome version of yourself and create a playlist of their favorite tunes; it’s a small touch that can make them feel less isolated and bored.

Keep It Real

At the end of the day, the best gifts come from a place of authentic concern, not a last-minute gas station pit stop. 

While you might be tempted to overdo it with glitter and giggles, sometimes a simple message that says, “We miss you, but you’re not missing out because you still look fabulous!” can work wonders.

Combine sincerity with a dash of wit, and you’ll have a get-well package that’ll leave them smiling.

😌 SHAMLESS PLUG ALERT 😌

Now, if you really want to lift up someone who’s feeling lousy, send them a hug with our Be Well Gift Basket. Built on a distressed wood chalkboard tray, this healing offering features Aloe infused socks, Eco plant based mug, Buddah board, Blanket, J&M cookies, Joolies, Nuts, Tea bags, and more. 

Let the recovery begin!
