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?

It seems that the people who most deserve pampering and the ones that are most likely not to do choose a day of rest on their own. That’s why the spa gift basket is so popular.

This soothing collection of beauty and skin refreshing items is created for someone who’s always there for you, a person who’s always on their feet tending to others.

Take a look at this video for ideas on what to include in this very-important gift.

What’s In a Spa Gift Basket?

Lots of thought goes into this gift because it’s given to a very special person.

Most important is the chosen fragrance. Sweet, fruity, exotic, musty, and spicy blends are five options. The last two are mainly preferred by men. They appreciate receiving spa baskets, too.

Another fragrance consideration is to choose items with no scent. Some people are allergic to scents, and in other cases, you’re not sure what to choose.

Here are some ideas to put in your spa gift basket.

Soaps, lotions, scrubs

Bath and/or shower gels

Bath cubes, skin softener

After-shower sprays

Loofah, scrub brush

Bath mat, bath pillow

Eye mask, under eye creams

Foot cream, pumice stone, slippers

Tub caddy or alternative organizer

What’s your favorite spa basket item?

Thank You Gift Basket

Showing appreciation for a good deed, favor, or helping hand is what makes the thank you gift basket so special.

Like a birthday basket, it’s easy putting this gift together when you know the person’s preferences. But that’s not always possible, especially when someone you don’t know very well has done the deed.

What’s In a Thank You Basket?

In most cases, it’s best to consider several things to choose products that express your gratitude.

Gender (man or woman)

Age (youth, adult, senior)

Profession (executive, craftsman, frequent traveler)

Marital status (single, married, same sex partner)

Knowing the person’s gender and age will give you good clues to pick great items that will be enjoyed and appreciated.

This is a gift that does not need to be large in order for it to reflect the sentiment. A small basket or container filled with 3-4 items is adequate for one person.

If created for a family or office group, choose a medium sized basket to fill with up to 10 items that everyone can share.

What help do you need to put your appreciation basket together?
