Being sick sucks. But if there's one teeeeeeny tiiiiiiny up side, it's also the absolute perfect excuse to take care of yourself—we need it after this year, kay? Regardless of the reason—the flu (gross), COVID (FML), surgery (nooo), or just utterly burned out (relatable!)—there's a perfect get-well-soon gift for the person in your life who's feeling terrible. So if you've got a pal or family member who's been stricken with sickness ('tis the season, after all, and I'm not just saying that because I have bronchitis rn), you can earn all the points by getting them a little care package they can use immediately. Your giftee will absolutely love you forever: They're gonna remind you of how you spoiled them for the rest of time, which is...a nice perk, TBH.

Unique gift ideas can range price-wise from the funny, not-too-expensive card that'll make them laugh through their hacking cough to, like, the splurge-iest towel that'll make them look forward to getting out of the shower and lying down for an hour. We've searched online to bring you some of the best, non-boring gifts FTW. These care packages won't just say "get well soon" but will also make your giftee feel like you took the time to get them something special and something they'll actually use. Or, you know, if you just ~happen~ to leave this on your SO's computer with a couple of these highlighted, you know, for research purposes, I'll never tell!!
