When you're a kid, being sick feels like the absolute pits. Then you grow up and realize that being sick as an adult is way worse. You can't go into the office (though you may still be expected to work), you have kids who still need three square meals a day, and the dog? Yeah, he needs a walk... and it's snowing. Wouldn't it be great to have a thoughtful friend to send you a little gift? Kick off the goodwill chain by being that friend.
Sometimes, a $5 package of cough drops is enough to let a friend know they're in your thoughts. Then again, lumping together a few same-day delivery items would be even better. We went ahead and found the softest blanket under $25, a specialized box of tea, and more near-instant gifts from Amazon. If they're in for a longer stay on the couch, splurge on a package from Spoonful of Comfort, spring for matzo ball soup via Goldbelly, or give the gift of a good night's sleep with Buffy's beloved Wiggle Pillow.
For the record, we'd be thrilled to receive any of these presents the next time we're down for the count. (Hint, hint, friends.)
This editor recently got a version of this sweatshirt for her husband and to the surprise of no one, she's been stealing it from him nightly. Are wearable blankets fashionable? Perhaps not, but if there's ever a time to indulge in an oversized fleece, it's during cold season.
Proflowers has a lot of bouquets available for same-day delivery, but if they're not a flower person, we suggest a little zebra plant. It's low maintenance and they can just set it on the windowsill and forget it until their fever has dissipated.
Amazon is rife with care packages, but this one gets top marks for its high-quality and serene packaging, super-soft socks, and healing tea blend.
We're a bit obsessed with Spoonful of Comfort; it's bar-none the best edible package you can send to an under-the-weather pal. Start by choosing their favorite soup, then add rolls and cookies. The Total TLC Package even comes with a bell for them to ring for bedside service!
One of the greatest feelings when you're sick is finally mustering the courage to take a shower and slide into some fresh clothes. Give them something brand-new to toss on with this bestselling set, which comes in 18 colors.
You weren't able to stop this cold from taking hold, but you may be able to help them stave off the next one! Get them started on a healthy new routine with some multis from Ritual.
Out of all the cozy blankets on Amazon (of which there are scores), this one has the most consistently impressive ratings for the price point. Give them an excuse to take it easy and finally binge the latest Selling Sunset season.
If they're recovering from a surgery, they absolutely need the Wiggle Pillow from Buffy–doctor's orders. It's cozy on its own but consider adding on a floral pillow cover.
Make sure they can get the box of tissues across the room, a new blanket, and the remote with this top-rated grabber. Yes, it's kind of funny, but it's a legitimately useful tool!
If they're just laying around anyway... may as well take care of their skin, right? This pack of five hydrating masks will ensure they're looking better than ever once they're back on their feet. If they have a low fever, it wouldn't be the worst idea to toss these in the fridge for extra facial cooling.
Sore throat? Severe cold? They'd be hard-pressed not to find a tea that'll soothe them in this box from Yogi. It comes with some of the brand's bestsellers, including Echinacea Immune Support, Throat Comfort, and Cold Season.
"Get Well Soon" flowers are a classic gift. If they're a flower person, they'll appreciate this bouquet from Urban Stems, aptly named The Unicorn. Because what is your friend if not a magical, beautiful unicorn of a pal?
It's easy to forget how many cough drops you go through when you're sick. Here's a reminder: It's a LOT. Replenish their supply by sending a pack (or four) of Ricola, the undisputed G.O.A.T .of cough drops.
What's better than a warm pair of socks when you're trudging around the house with a cup of tea? Fuzzy socks are a dime a dozen, but Bombas will last for years without so much of a hint of a hole in the toe. Plus, these are cute!
If matzo ball soup was an integral part of their childhood–or even if it wasn't–this is an indulgent treat that will soothe the soul as much as their sore throat.
