Get Well gifts are a staple here at Green & Bean, along with appreciation, birthdays and any holidays just around the corner. To me they can be some of the most important. As a community, it’s pretty inevitable that each and every one of us will need to lean on another in times of need. Being ill, hurting in any way can feel isolating. A get well gift, a phone call, a bit of your time ~ it shows your fellow human that you’re someone that can be leaned on.
I’m obviously no doctor, but I’m wholly convinced that the warmth we give each other and light we’re able to bring to one another is not medicine, but it provides a healing comfort.
Below are a couple get well gifts to keep someone company as they focus their attention on healing. Whether you’re bring the gift to them directly, or need us to send it over, these gifts are sure to send some warmth and emotional support in a time of need.
- Tea Library + Tangram 1 + Square Tray ($148)
This is perfect for someone who might miss a fast past lifestyle as they recuperate. The combination of the Tea Library, which includes a sourcing map of 18 different tea varieties, and the 1st edition of Tangram - Art of Play’s Magazine about creativity, curiosity and wonder - makes this gift feel like going on adventure, but from the comfort of home.
The square tray makes carrying things easier. I used one quite a bit when my mom broke her ankle last year and I spend lots of time carting things to and from the kitchen to the couch for her. Now that she’s better she still uses to carry a bunch of snacks so she doesn't have to get up a bunch while working from home.
2. Vase of Flowers puzzle + couch throw + 7oz candle + floral tea sampler ($148)
A bit more of a classic take on a get-well gift. A throw for some warmth (physically, emotionally), flowers in the form of both a tea, and a puzzle, along with a candle. This is a great one to send when you are too far to get there yourself.
3. Herbal Bath Tea + La Luna (10oz) + floral tea sampler + silk scarf ($144)
If the last gift was more classic, this is more pampering. An herbal bath tea, floral tea sampler, candle, and silk scarf is a great way to give the feeling of luxury while healing.
4. Playing Cards + Noshinku Set + floral tea sampler + greeting card + 500 pc piecework + turmeric latte concentrate + shower steamers ($144)
