Get Well Soon Gift Basket

Since it is almost winter, it seems as though a lot of people are getting sick. That includes me as of right now. I have recently been getting a cold and I guess you could say that "inspired" me to do this post lol. If one of your friends, family members, or boyfriend/ girlfriend is sick, then you can send them a get well soon basket to let them know you are thinking about them. Here are some things that would be lovely to include:

Cute Kleenex Boxes- This will make blowing noses more enjoyable :)

Cough Drops- The second to most annoying thing about having a cold is coughing and sore throats. These cough drops are so tasty that it is hard to not eat them as candy even when you're not sick!

Tea With Lemon- If anyone actually loses their voice from their cold, this will bring it right back and warm them up! Decaffeinated teas would probably be best so that they can sleep afterwards.

A Cute Mug To Drink The Tea With! Personally, I am not that big a fan of hot water or tea but with these mugs, I would definitely be drinking it!

Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup- You and your friend could make it together!

Sleeping Masks- Anyone who is sick will feel better after a lot of rest! A sleeping mask will make it easier for them to relax and fall asleep.

In the end after you have gathered all of the lovely items, you can place them in a basket and bring them to your sick friend! I can tell you they will truly love it and want to hug you. But don't let them because then you will be sick too! Think about it, wouldn't you want a Get Well Soon Basket from someone if you were sick?

Fabulous Fact: Did you know that chicken soup can actually help you get better? Researches have found that the  blend of nutrients and vitamins in traditional chicken soup can slow the activity of certain white blood cells. This may reduce inflammation that could lead to a temporary ease from symptoms of being sick. Sipping warm soup can also clear the sinuses because of the steam ventilating into the nose.
