Something for the boring days of recovery.
Not a get-well cliché — the comforting, easy things, chosen for them and delivered on the day, with a word to cheer them up.
What people write to cheer them up.
Six of the notes that went out with a hamper to somebody having a rotten few weeks. Short, mostly. They usually are.
“Wishing you a speedy recover....but in the meantime, get fat on the sofa. With much love. American massive.”
Funny“Wishing you a speedy recovery with lots of tea, biscuits and crisps! We love you so much!!! From all three of us xxxxx”
Warm“I picked out some things to hopefully help make you feel better, they didn't have Haribos sadly! I'm so sorry I'm not there with you - I'm thinking about you and hoping for a speedy recovery. I love you so much xxx”
Tender“Something to keep you going whilst you're recovering! Looking forward to having the beast back on two legs!”
Funny“Some get well goodies! We love you so much!”
Warm“We hope you are back on your feet soon. Missing you here.”
GentleEvery word real, taken from an order. Signatures removed and nothing kept that could point at a person — so these are the words, not the people.
What a gentle hamper looks like
Easy, comforting things
Soft cheese, good crackers, something sweet — nothing that asks for effort.
Tea, not a party
A proper tea and a few treats beats another bunch of flowers by the bed.
A word to cheer them
A line on the card — the small thing that says you’re thinking of them.
The gentle one.
See every hamper →Alcohol-free — it will sit on the side and be picked at, which is the point.
Something that keeps
Build your own from chocolate, preserves, crackers and good tea — the things that wait for an appetite.
Leave the bottle out
Five of the thirteen ready-made hampers carry no bottle, and anything built from scratch can leave it out.
