Get Well Gift Ideas

Unless you are a doctor or a nurse, you might feel helpless when you find out a friend is at home sick.  You know you can't do anything to take away the sickness, so what do you do to show them you care, while still keeping a safe distance?

Whether you enjoy cooking, baking, crafting, or just want a quick pick up option, here are some porch drop ideas to show someone you care.

Teacup Flower Arrangement

Beacon Lane created this adorable tea cup arrangement for a wedding centerpiece, but it would also be a great gift for someone who is feeling bad.  Visit Beacon Lane for instructions on how to make it.

DIY Tub Tea

When you are sick, it is amazing what a nice relaxing bath can do to relieve sinus pressure, help you relax, and bring you comfort.  Encourage the process, by making a DIY Tub Tea, like the ones shared by Numi Tea Blog and Home Baked Bliss.

Get Well Gift Basket

Cheering someone up comes in many forms, and one of my favorites is practicality.  It is super easy and quick to grab some much needed items, arrange them in a cute mug or basket, and drop them off.

Items you might want to consider including in the gift:

Over the counter medicines

Kleenex

Teas

Honey

Magazines

Crossword Puzzles

Chapstick

Cough Drops

Essential Oils

Gatorade

Water

Sanitizer

Sanitizing Wipes

Orange Juice

Soup

Vitamins

Healthy Snacks.

Soup

Soup is always a great way to comfort and hydrate someone who is feeling bad.  You can make a fresh recipe and drop it on the porch warm and ready, you can pick up your favorite soup from a local restaurant or you can have it delivered.

Breakfast

 

It's always nice to have a delicious breakfast waiting for you in the morning, but it is especially helpful when you aren't feeling well.  Dropping off a breakfast for the next morning is great get well gift that will help them get the nutrition they need without the hassle of preparing it.
