When someone you love is ill or in hospital, it can be a stressful time, and with our lifestyles today becoming busier by the second, it isn’t always possible to take time off and travel home to offer your support. Whether your mum is going into hospital for an operation or your gran is ill, you want to support them and let them know they’re loved, even if you can’t drop everything to be by their side.
Say it with flowers
Flowers are a great way to send get well wishes to a family member or loved one and it’s simple and quick to order flowers online –so quick that you could even do it on your lunch break. A colorful bunch of flowers is cheering at the best of time but even more so when you’re feeling under the weather. Most florists also offer a range of cards and gifts that you can send along with your flowers to really let someone know how special they are!
Send a card
If you’re looking to send a card to someone but you don’t know their home address or the address of the hospital they’re in, you can send Get Well ecards! It’s easy to find a range of sites where you can buy free Get Well ecards and all you need is the recipient’s email address. Of course, they’ll need email access to see the card you’ve sent, so this may not be the best option for anyone without a smart phone.
Pay a visit
At the end of the day, the best way to say ‘get well soon’ is to visit the ones you love. A visit to your ill grandmother or injured friends is the perfect way to lift their spirits, and if they live nearby it should be relatively easy to escape work for the day. If you live further away, a little planning may be required, but by organizing travel during the week at off-peak times, you can usually pick up a flight or rail ticket for less – you could even surprise them if you keep quiet about your visit.
It’s the thought that counts when it comes to get well wishes; you don’t need to spend a fortune – send get well soon ecards or a bunch of flowers to show you care.
Greeting Bear offers a range of free animated and personalized e-cards, so whether you decide to send get well soon ecards to loved ones or birthday ecards, you’ll find it all here! You’ll even find a wide range of gifts available, for occasions from Mother’s Day to Valentine’s Day; there’s something for everyone.
