Our series “A Gift for Giving” walks you through how to show your generosity and thoughtfulness to all the special people in your life.
With flu season in full swing, chances are someone you know has caught the bug. Looking for a get well soon gift that’ll get your sick friend back on her feet in no time? You know what Mary Poppins used to say: A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. And scrumptious Cheryl’s buttercream-frosted cookies are just what the doctor ordered.
Put some pep back into your loved one’s step with these three sugar-coated pick-me-ups.
The survival kit
This is one house call your friend won’t want to turn away. The Mrs. Beasley’s Get Well Soon Gift features a sweet selection of gourmet lemon tea cakes, mini chocolate-dipped orange cakes, chocolate truffles, and buttercream-frosted cookies, all tucked into an adorable box that’s shaped like a medical briefcase. Plus, it has the perfect remedies for any ailment: cure-all chicken noodle soup mix, throat-soothing lemon drops, and calming Earl Grey tea. No prescription could bring a smile to your friend's face like this feel-good gift.
A sugary bouquet
If your pal’s nose is stuffed to the max and she doesn’t feel like stopping to smell the roses, why not give her a get-well bouquet that she can eat instead? No arrangement is tastier than the Get Well Cookie Flower Pot. These hand-decorated shortbread cookies are artfully displayed in a beautiful (and reusable!) silver pail, just like a real bouquet. But they certainly won’t last as long as real flowers; your BFF will gobble them right up, putting her well on the road to recovery.
Better than a get-well-soon card
Forget the typical greeting card with the cookie-cutter sentiments. If you really want to brighten up our gal pal’s sick day, send her a truly sweet note with a giant Get Well Chocolate Chip Cookie instead. It takes Cheryl’s famous chocolate chip cookie recipe to larger-than-life proportions, and it gets its message across loud and clear with rich, revitalizing buttercream frosting. With a well wish like this, your friend won’t be under the weather for long.
