A person who’s recovering from a short sickness or long illness gets better quickly when receiving your get well wishes wrapped in a pretty package. Isn’t the same true when a gift basket arrives for you?

This video stresses the importance of giving to encourage feeling good.

What’s In a Get Well Gift Basket?

Before creating this special gift, consider the following:

1. What’s the receiver’s preferences (choose items that they like rather than what you like)
2. What dietary restrictions must this person follow during recuperation?

The last thing you want to do is add foods and snacks that put the person back in harm’s way. This is why thinking about the person’s well being, as you select products, is very important.

Here’s a list of items that encourage a speedy recovery.

  • Soups (canned or dry)
  • Puzzles and other games
  • Books (poems, paperback, how to, fiction)
  • Room spray with favorite fragrance
  • Assorted teas and accessories (tea cup/saucer, tea spoons, sugar cubes)
  • Cookies (shortbread, oatmeal raisin)
  • Handkerchiefs, tissues, hand sanitizer
  • What’s the most-memorable gift you received or gave to another person to encourage a return to good health?
