About a month ago one of my best friends got hit hard by the flu and just to make sure his sick days were just a bit brighter, I decided to get him a get well gift basket. I think there is something about get well gift baskets that make them as therapeutic as a good bowl of grandma’s chicken soup. I can remember the first time anyone ever gave me a get well gift basket. Just seeing the goodies in that get well gift basket and the balloon hovering on top of it, telling me every morning to get well, I think truly inspired my body to heal a lot faster. I’ve read a lot of articles about the connection between the immune system and the mind and they all say that when we are in a happy and relaxed state, our immune system becomes supercharged, and what can make someone happier than a get well gift basket when they are not feeling their best? My buddy was so thankful for his get well gift basket that after he got all better, he sent me a thank you gift basket with my favorite gourmet cookies in it—it was awesome.
