Ideally when any of our close relatives or acquaintances fall ill or are suffering from bad health, then we generally go and visit them. It not only relieves us to see the person but it also makes the one who is ill feel a little better. When we visit someone who is recuperating from a bad bout of illness or an operation, it is nice we carry some kind of “get well soon” gifts for them. We can give them a card and along with it something that can help them in their healing process. So what can be the ideal gift for such a situation?

A fruit basket! Fruits are healthy and full of vitamins which are absolutely essential for someone who is ill. Vitamins and minerals need to taken in proper amounts to make sure that one recovers properly and gains their health and stamina back. Fruits are what most doctors and dieticians recommend. Thus it is best to carry a fruit basket and along with it a small get well soon card, made special with a hand written personalised message.

Fruit basket to help you get better

When it comes to giving a get well soon fruit basket, we have to make sure of a few things. You will have to do some background in order to get the right basket of fruits. Here are a few pointers that will help in making sure that you get the right fruit basket for your friend or relative:

1. First and foremost you will have to do a proper study of the disease your friend is suffering from. If suppose your acquaintance is suffering from a disease and has diabetes along with it, then you cannot give him or her fruit basket full of apples, which have a high sugar content. The fruit basket for a diabetic friend should ideally include berries, peaches and cherries whose vitamin and mineral contents are greater and the sugar content less. If you friend is suffering from the flu or cold related issues then go for a citrus fruit basket, since these fruits have a high content of Vitamin C which is extremely beneficial for such problems. If it is a problem of the heart then go for watermelons, bananas and berries. Thus it is clear that you will have to get an idea about your friend or relative’s medical health before giving them a fruit basket.

2. You have to make sure that the fruits are fresh. While purchasing the basket make sure that you check the fruits properly before giving it to a person who is already dealing with serious health issues.

3. It is not always possible for us to be present in person to meet our ailing acquaintance. In such cases opt for the next day delivery fruit baskets, since that will ensure a fresh basket of fruits and have to delivered to the person you want to. This will tell them that you care, even if you are not physically present there.

Thus, when it comes to get well soon gifts, if you keep the above pointers in mind, there is no more useful a gift than a basket full of fresh fruits.
