When someone you care about is sick or going through a hard time, there’s nothing we want more than to see them well and smiling once again. From that classic stuffed animal care package to a yummy food care package, here’s how you can put a smile on their face with any of these seven get well soon care package ideas.
- Stuffed Animal Care Package — Make their day by sending them an elephant stuffed animal. If they’re stuck at the hospital or ordered to stay bedridden at home, they’ll love cuddling with a stuffed animal. It doesn’t have to be an elephant. It can be any of their favorite animals, like a dog or a wolf. If they’ve ever dreamed of having a beautiful unicorn, make their dreams come true with their very own unicorn cuddle-sized friend.
- Spa Day Care Package — Everyone needs a little rest and relaxation from time to time. Feel like you’re a world away with a spa care package. This kind of care package can include anything from bath bombs to loofahs. If your person has a bathtub or a jacuzzi at home, they can soak in the bath with some Epsom salts. If they don’t have either of those options at home, give them spa day goodies they can use in the shower, like body washes and body scrubs. Include a gift card to a local spa.

- Creativity Care Package — Sometimes, they just need to not think about being sick for a little while. Allow them their own space to create with a creativity care package.
