Get Well Soon Projects

We all know that it's not fun being sick. When someone we care about is sick, we want to make things better. Sometimes a phone call to a sick friend will suffice. Then there are other times when we want to do a little something extra. What better way to show someone you care than to send a handmade card or personalized get-well gift.

Get-well wishes can be in the form of a simple pocket card holding a tea bag or travel-sized aspirin on the outside and a cheery or inspiring greeting on the inside. If you are having a hard time finding the right thing to say, try some of these suggestions:

(For outside of card)

• Feel better
• Better get better
• Get well soon
• Will chicken soup help?
• Heard you caught a bug
• Take care of yourself
• Heard you're under the weather

(For inside of card)

• The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love. Hubert Humphrey
• Comfy jammies, cozy bed, big soft pillow for your head. Worry not. The world can wait. Take your time to recuperate. Unknown
• Friends are like medicine; they make you feel better when you're down. Here's a dose of friendship to speed up your recovery!
• I sure wish you were feeling better today.
• Sorry you haven't been feeling well lately, sure hope you get well soon!
