Can you think of a better time than to show extra attention to your mate than when she (or he) is sick?
One item that is guaranteed to lift anyone’s spirits is a get-well basket. Sure, anyone can go to the store and buy a get- well card, but it takes that special person who would assemble a get-well basket for the one they love.
You can use practically anything for a “basket.” A decorative bowl, a watering can, a candy dish or any item you can find or buy to put the items in. If you want to go a step beyond, you can decorate the “basket” with balloons, streamers, ribbons, cut-out hearts or whatever might bring a little extra cheer.
Below is a list of possible items you can put in your get-well basket that will have your sweetheart feeling better immediately.
- Get-well card (perhaps hand-made)
- Some flowers (from the garden or florist)
- Magazine they like
- New book
- Some tea bags or gourmet coffee
- Fresh lemon (helps sore throat)
- Small jar of honey
- Fresh fruit
- Doll (trust me)
- Stuffed animal
