Nothing says “get well soon” better than these thoughtful gifts.

Home care and hospitals can get bleak, tedious, and sometimes downright torturous. For your friend or family member who is undergoing treatment for whatever reasons, a get-well gift could be just the right thing that could cheer them up and brighten their day.

But since everyone else is doing the traditional cards and flowers, you want to stand out and add something valuable to the conventional get-well soon gift giving. Hence, we bring to you some amazing and unique get well soon gift ideas that are absolutely bound to make their day! Here they are:

Comedy Movies

After all, laughter is the best medicine. They may have been cooped up in the hospital or at home for too long suffering under the ailments. And quite frankly, they could use some laughter and fun. Make a list of movies you’re sure they haven’t watched. If you’re not sure of their preferences, go for the safe option: Adam Sandler, Amy Poehler, Jim Carrey. You cannot go wrong with any of these guys. Also consider throwing in some standup comedies. Comedians like Eddie Murphy, Mike Birbiglia and Louis C.K. have been popular on Netflix as of this year.

The Game of Thrones Books

Why? Because it’s only the absolutely best thing on TV so far – even if it’s on a season break! The series has soon grown to be one of the most popular and sensational series amassing fans all over the world, different age groups, and genders. So whether your sick buddy is a male or a female, you can’t go wrong with this one. The HBO hit series, originally written by George Martin consists of seven books that include:

·         A Game of Thrones

·         A Clash of Kings

·         A Storm of Swords - 1 : Steel and Snow

·         A Storm of Swords - 2 : Blood and Gold

·         A Feast for Crows

·         A Dance with Dragons - 1 : Dreams and Dust

·         A Dance with Dragons - 2 : After the Feast

While you don’t have to get them all (since that will cost you quite a bit), you should opt for the first two or three books depending on your budget.

An Assortment of Tea

If you’re loved one is a fan of caffeine and needs their daily morning fix, how about presenting them with a healthier alternative for the duration of their recovery?

A Get Well Gift Basket

Don’t underestimate the power of a gift basket. Everyone loves them! With this idea, the possibilities are numerous. You could opt for a fruit basket, with an arrangement of fresh tropical and seasonal fruits. You could mix it up with an assortment of fruits, packet or can of chicken noodle soup, crossword puzzle books, magazines, get-well-soon cards and some baked goodies that they’re bound to love.

The Ultimate: Get Well Soon Cupcake Bouquet

While we love flowers, it’s your typical “been-there-done-that” gift. So taking unique to a whole new level, we decided to add a twist to the conventional bouquet of flowers.
