A Basket of Fruit is the Perfect Get Well Gift
When you have friends or family members who are not feeling well or have been in the hospital due to illness or surgery sending a basket of fruit is the perfect way to let them know you’re thinking of them and want them to get better. Bright and cheerful citrus fruit will last longer than flowers, and you won’t have to worry about the smell of the fruit making their illness worse the way that the scent of flowers can irritate people who are sick. Plus, healthy citrus fruit will be a welcome snack for people who are not feeling well and unlike high sugar and high calorie candy the fresh citrus fruit will be good for them.
Oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines are all packed with vitamin C, which will help your friends or family members get better more quickly. Vitamin C and the other vitamins and minerals in oranges and other citrus fruits will help boost the body’s immune system so that it fights off viruses, colds, and infections more easily. The vitamins and minerals in citrus fruits also give the body the nutrients it needs to repair tissue and create new healthy cells. The faster the body can repair itself the faster your loved ones will get better. A large basket of mixed citrus fruit is the best thing you can give to someone who is sick. And since most people agree that hospital food is pretty terrible a basket of delicious oranges and grapefruits is a great treat that your loved ones will be very glad to get.
A basket of fruit is a great gift for a loved one who is sick but isn’t in the hospital at the moment. Many people who don’t have health insurance are putting off going to the doctor even when they come down with colds and flu and other short- term illnesses. Giving a healthy citrus fruit basket to a friend or loved one that is trying to beat a cold or the flu is a thoughtful gift because the extra boost of vitamins and minerals that come from fresh citrus fruits can be exactly what their bodies need in order to fight off illness and get them back to full health. Since you can get fruit baskets in almost any size you can send a friend a gift basket to cheer them up even if you don’t have a lot of money to spend on a gift.
