No one wants their friends to get sick, but most of us at some point will need to send a\u00a0 Get Well gift. And at that point, the question always is: What to get?<\/p>\n

Borrowing from a late night TV host, here is a list of Top 10 Get Well Gifts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Candy\/chocolates. An obvious one, but almost everyone\u00a0 enjoys a sweet indulgence when they are not feeling well.<\/li>\n
  2. Plants\/flowers, balloons. Put these in the category of “eye candy” or something to brighten up the room.<\/li>\n
  3. Magazines\/books, puzzle book. Boredom is a main complaint of those who\u00a0 are bedridden, so something to pass the time is a welcome distraction.<\/li>\n
  4. Itunes gift card. In our new tech-savvy world, apps can take the place of puzzle books (see #8). Let your recovering friend choose from the thousands of game\/puzzle\/activity apps available as another way to alleviate boredom.<\/li>\n
  5. Soup. Grandma was right. Whether homemade or store bought, a nice bowl of warm soup can really hit the spot.<\/li>\n
  6. Gifts of comfort. Whether it is:<\/li>\n
  7. Cozy, fuzzy socks<\/li>\n
  8. Scented candle<\/li>\n
  9. Luxurious hand lotion. Nothing says “feel better” like comfy gifts.<\/li>\n
  10. Drinks. Bottle of wine, or a flavored tea.<\/li>\n
  11. For the recovering friend who has received “all of the above”, think about a gift they can look forward to using once they are on the mend: movie tickets, or a gift certificate for a manicure .<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I hope this was helpful, and even more than that, I hope you never need to use it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No one wants their friends to get sick, but most of us at some point will need to…","protected":false},"author":96,"featured_media":6345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1296,1300,1302,1316,510],"tags":[59,564,644],"class_list":{"0":"post-6344","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","8":"category-tips-and-trends","9":"category-comforting-messages","10":"category-welcoming-messages","11":"category-office-wellness-tips-and-trends","12":"category-the-workplace","13":"tag-get-well-cards","14":"tag-get-well","15":"tag-get-well-gifts","16":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nTop 10 Get Well Gifts -
