When someone you love is facing an illness, recovering from surgery, or simply stuck at home, a thoughtful get well soon gift can make all the difference. I have a dear friend that helped me source some of her most appreciated gifts for sick friends below. Unique get well soon gifts don’t have to be complicated—they just need to remind your friend or family that you’re thinking of them. Whether you’re looking for something cozy, uplifting, or practical, here are some of the best get well gifts and recovery gifts to brighten their day.

1. Cozy Comfort Gifts

Chennile travel blanket, cozy socks, or a luxurious robe can help make recovery time more cozy. This weighted pillow or plush throw pillows are also a great way to add both warmth and comfort.

2. Wellness & Self Care Gifts

Sometimes the best medicine is a little pampering. Consider a Primally Pure Spa kit, body wash kit, or Beauty Bio eye gels to help them relax. Even a simple hand cream or lip balm set can feel like a treat when they’re homebound.

3. Food and Care Packages

A homemade soup is a great get well gift. I love this Chicken and veggie soup, Butternut squash soup or Homemade Chicken Broth but if cooking isn’t an option, you can send a gourmet soup kit, get well gift basket, or a subscription to a meal delivery service. Herbal teas with some yummy honey is fun too.

4. Entertainment to Beat the Boredom

Recovery often means long hours at home. Puzzles, novels, coloring book, or even a game can help pass the time and keep spirits up.

5. Practical and Helpful Gifts

Sometimes the most appreciated gift is the one that makes life a little easier. Think about gifting a door-dash gift card or grocery delivery gift cards, a cleaning service, or pre-made meal deliveries.
