Your sick neighbor might just need a pick-me-up to brighten his or her day. Bring over a personalized get-well gift basket by putting together something really spectacular and avoiding the “chicken soup and tissues” cliché.
Get-well gift basket expert, Bevin B. Cooper Farkas, of bumble B design and marketing, suggests gathering as much information about your neighbor first to create a truly personalized gift.
Building the Perfect Gift Basket
Start by finding a nice basket or bag to fill with items — maybe even get creative and use a cute tote or eco-friendly reusable shopping bag. Next, decide on a theme. Does your sick neighbor or friend love chocolate? Then include a box of premium hot cocoa, chocolate-granola trail mix, and a chocolate-scented candle. The point is to best personalize your get-well gift.
“For some individuals,” Farkas says, “gifts that include soothing relaxation items like strong teas, candles, or all-natural bath salts will really help invigorate a sick friend or neighbor.”
Other popular items found in a get-well gift basket include:
Digital frame with fun memories
Books on CD
Hot water bottles
Magazines or crossword/Sudoku books
Flavored popcorn
Fuzzy socks or slippers.
Truly, the best gift you can give a sick friend or neighbor is a quick visit or phone call, but why not bring along a little surprise to help make the recovery so much more pleasant? (See other gift ideas for your neighbors.)
