Do you know someone who is currently in recovery? May he or she is recovering from a simple cold or flu. Or, maybe they are recovering from a surgery, cancer treatment, a broken leg or a prolonged illness. In any event, feeling under the weather is never any fun.

When someone is in recovery, a get-well gift is always a welcome treat. Receiving a gift like this shows that somebody out there who cares about their well-being. And while any get-well gift or card is appreciated by the person in recovery, a particularly well-chosen gift is particularly well-received.

For women and toddlers of either sex (and even many boys and men!), a teddy bear gift basket can be just what the doctor ordered. Teddy bears are an almost universal symbol of a comforting, loving presence that provides someone to cuddle with to those who are not feeling their best.
If you are looking to make or buy teddy bear gift baskets as a get-well gift, these 3 tips will help you find the ideal one:

1. Focus On The Person’s Interests:

When someone mentions a teddy bear, a certain image probably comes to your mind. You imagine it to be of a certain color and size, and you imagine the bear dressed in a certain way. However, given the sheer number of teddy bears available today, it is almost a guarantee that the image in your mind right now is not the same one that your friend or loved one in recovery would have in theirs.

So, before choosing the right bear for your gift basket, do some thinking first. Focus on the person’s interests – on what makes the person happy. If it is a little boy, it might be fire trucks or police cars. For a girl, it might be a ballerina. For a woman, the favorite teddy bear look may have less to do with a theme and more to do with a certain color scheme, for example.

2. Think About Your Budget:

Teddy bear gift baskets can be pretty simple or fairly elaborate. Before searching for the right basket, get a sense for how much you are willing to spend. Whether you decide to make your own basket or buy the “ingredients” for your own unique basket creation, your budget will determine how much you can reasonably do.

3. Get Creative:

Once you have decided upon a theme or color scheme for your teddy bear gift basket and you know your budget, it is time to get creative. Make a list of 10 or so items that you associate in your mind with that theme. (For example, for a ballerina, your list might include ballet slippers and a tiara.) Remember, not everything you choose needs to be pricey.
Now that you have a firm idea of how your teddy bear gift basket will look, it is time to search for the right basket – or to start finding a collecting the items yourself to make your own unique creation. Either way, the person you care about will surely be pleased.
