You’re cold. You’re achy. You’re tired. And you’re alone. Welcome to COVID. It stinks, right? At this point, it seems like I know 10 people at any given time who have come down with Omicron. Raise your hand if you’ve had it. Ok – I can’t see you and you can’t see me, but I’m trying to type one-handed so I can raise my hand as well. It was the pits!
If you have a family member or friend who’s come down with Omicron, the flu, strep, or another contagious touch-me-not illness, what can you do to show your isolated friend you care? How about send a get well soon gift? We’ve pulled together a list of our favorite get well soon gifts – both individual items and as part of our wellness gift boxes!
1. Blankets
When I had Omicron, I holed myself up in my bedroom with a season of Ted Lasso and a cozy blanket. When I did relocate occasionally to my office, I had another blanket in there. I was always cold.
This is the perfect opportunity to gift your friend a nice, plushy blanket. It’s a gentle nudge reminding them to rest during this time. Our Cream and Gray Sherpa blanket is perfect for keeping your friend warm. Our beRESTED and beSTILL luxury gift boxes feature this blanket and are perfect gift boxes to support your friend or family member’s journey back to health!
2. Hot tea with honey
Nothing feels better on a sore throat than hot tea with honey, right? We suggest decaffeinated teas like Chamomile since it’s important to stay hydrated when you’re feeling crummy.
The beRESTED gift box mentioned above pairs the Cream and Gray Sherpa blanket with Chamomile tea, a Divine Dreams Essential Roll-on, and a Lavender Sprig candle. You can add our honey (or any other item) to this box by adding the honey to your cart and leaving a note letting us know you’d like to include this in the box.
3. Warm Socks
If you’re sick and contagious – you’re not going anywhere, so you might as well put on your comfy socks. We love the FAZL socks because they are so thick and warm and come in unique, fun designs.
The beSTILL and the beRELAXED gift box pair these socks with the Cream and Sherpa and Ash Camp blanket, respectively, a beautifully handcrafted pen, and journal. We love that these boxes heal your body and soul all at once. If you have to be in isolation, having the creative outlet of journaling, songwriting, or goal setting can make it a little better.
4. Nice Soaps
Sometimes when I’m sick, I have to muster up all my energy to take a shower or bath. But I’m never sorry I did. I always feel ten thousand times better after I scrub “the sick” off. A set of handcrafted soaps is a wonderful gift to help your loved one feel their best while they battle those germs trying to get them down!
Our beLATHERED gift box has 4 different soaps and a soap dish. This is a gift they will enjoy while they are under the weather and once they can smell again!
5. Bath Salts
One of the worst parts of Omicron has to be the muscle aches. The first day I had fever and slept a ton. When I woke up, I felt like the tin man. Ugh, it was bad. The Muscle Relief Bath Salts and our Muscle Release Oil are a heavenly combo which I highly recommend. These two products are specifically designed to help soothe inflamed muscles and joints with ingredients like Epsom salts, Arnica, devils claw, and eucalyptus.
The beRECOVERED gift box features both of these items. While originally designed as a gift for athletes needing some muscle relief after a tough workout, anyone who’s experienced COVID muscle aches can attest they are worse than almost any gym day!
Get well soon gifts are a simple way to show someone you care for them, even though you can’t physically be with them. We’ve seen friends send gifts across the country, husbands purchase gifts for their wives, and corporations sending branded wellness gift boxes to employees who come down with COVID. We love shipping these little boxes of love all over the US.
Has anyone ever given you a memorable get well soon gift? What was it and who was it from?
