Ideas for Get Well

What actually works

Someone unwell has very little energy to spend. The gifts that help require nothing in return: something warm, something to read or watch, food that does not need making. The test is whether it creates a task for them.

Cut flowers that need a vase, water and trimming from someone who is already exhausted — or anything that hints they should be back on their feet.
