Do you know a person who’s feeling sickly? When someone has had surgery, been in an accident, has a bug or something more serious, consider sending him or her a get well basket to brighten things up. The entertaining gift solutions in a get well basket can make the difference between being bored or being amused.

Here are examples of thoughtful gift ideas that entertain regardless of age.

Baby Plush Toys

Holding onto something cuddly and soft has its benefits, especially when mom and dad need a rest. Baby plush toys such as a singing Daisy duck, singing bears or a trio of lions is sure to make baby feel better.

Get Well Gift Baskets for Kids

Imagine a child’s surprise, delight and pride, when a big colorful gift basket arrives in their name. The thrill alone will take their minds off the illness and on to better things.

The Kids Activity Stop encourages children to play and be creative with Silly Putty, coloring books, crayons and watercolors, jacks, lollipops, cracker jacks and more. They can also pass the time and enjoy a hand held travel game, while lying in bed.

Get Well Gifts for Teenagers

These kids may have cabin fever before they feel better. Diverting their attention by keeping their minds busy is a good way to steer them away from the throws of boredom.

Consider amusing them with care packages, which are also great gifts for kids away from home. The boredom buster care package contains a word search book, crossword book, a wooden brainteaser game, hackie sack, stress ball, gum, cookies and more fun things to do and snack on.

These kids can pass the time by being in their own little world of fun things to do.

Gift Basket Ideas for Men and Women

Being sick and having responsibilities weighing you down can make you feel worse than you do now. Distracting the mind from worry, work and feeling rotten helps the healing process move right along.

For adults, consider showing them your concern by sending them a Prescription to Get Well in a RX gift box. The word search book and a deck of cards, along with gourmet coffee, cookies, V-8 Vegetable juice and many other edibles help pass the time.

Or consider expressing your best wishes with a top get well basket among consumers during 2009:  

• the Wellness Wishes Gift Basket comforted many adults, as they read “A Book of Grace,”  that touched their heart with words of peace and empowerment, while they enjoyed Chocolate Biscotti, Herbal Tea and Tomato Basil Cheese Squares, along with many other delicious edibles.

When someone dear and near to you is sick, remember to encourage him or her to feel better, with a get well basket that has interesting things to do and delicious food gifts to snack on.
