When someone you love and care about is ill, you probably wish for them to get better as soon as possible. While you might not be able to speed up their recovery, you can get this person something that will put a smile on their face. Whether it’s flowers or a gift basket, here are a few ideas for friends who could use a pick-me-up.

3 Get-Well Gifts

1. Gift Basket

A gift basket filled with goodies will put your loved one in better spirits. You can customize the items based on your loved one’s illness or personality. For example, if they’re recovering from the flu, you could put a box of tissues, herbal tea, and packages of soup in the basket.

2. Magazines

Recovering from an illness often means a lot of time spent in bed. Help your loved one pass the time faster by giving them a few magazines to read. If your friend or family member loves to stay on top of current events, add copies of Newsweek, The New Yorker, and Time Magazine. If your loved one enjoys health and fitness, buy a selection of Oxygen, Runner’s World, and Fitness RX.

3. Flowers

When you want to send your family member or friend a get-well gift, you can never go wrong with flowers. Try to avoid blooms with strong odors, such as lilies and lilacs, for those who are sick. You should also take your loved one’s allergies into account. Tulips, for example, have low pollen counts and scentless. Roses are also allergy-friendly.
