In Sickness and In Health
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
