Whether you’re at home, in college, or starting your own family, care packages are always a simple and easy way to show someone you’re thinking of them. This season, make sure your loved ones know you care by sending them a care package filled with everything you need to get through the winter.
Tea:
Herbal teas containing some sort of honey, peppermint, or cloves will help soothe a sore throat.
Medicine:
Medicines such as Nyquil help you get the sleep you need to recover. Liquid medicine is always a safe choice instead of having to swallow pills.
Blanket:
You can never go wrong with a nice cuddly blanket to snuggle in.
Movie:
Snuggling up and falling asleep to a classic movie is a perfect way to get over that stubborn cold
Book:
For the recovery period where you’re still not healthy enough to get out of bed, but feeling better enough to stay awake for longer than an hour at a time.
Soup:
Who doesn’t love a warm cup of soup when they’re not feeling too hot?
Cough drops:
Cough drops come in all types of different shapes, sizes and flavors. Ditch those fruity flavored ones and opt for honey or mint. If the cough is extra bad, add in some lozenges to numb the pain! Some of our favorites:
Luden’s Honey Lemon Cough Drops
Tissues:
Kleenex. All day, everyday.
Nasal spray:
Nobody likes a stuffy nose. Favorite:
Afrin No Drip 12 Hr Decongestant
Thermometer:
A thermometer will always come in handy. Here’s our favorite one:
Nexcare Rapid Flex Thermometer
So if you’re not spending the holidays with the ones you love, pack up your love along with these items, send them their way, and let them know you’re thinking of them.
