Now more than ever, your co-workers, clients, employees or family may be managing health issues, loss, chronic illness or life's challenges. Your intentions are good and you want to be there, but it may not be possible. This is when you may be nudged to send a thoughtful gift to suit the occasion.

There is nothing more uplifting than knowing a person you work with or friend is thinking of you and took the time reach out to say they care.

A get well basket, after surgery basket, sympathy basket, Shiva basket or gift of encouragement may be the right gift to pick someone up when their spirits are down. Below are some ideas for sending the perfect gift to comfort another.

• Words to Inspire & Heal - Send a devotional, journal or shelf-sitter with words of encouragement. Tea and cookies can also be added to this gift to allow those recovering from surgery or illness to relax and indulge a bit.
• Gourmet Food Basket - What better way to nourish a colleague or a family during time of grieving. A gourmet food basket such as fruit, nuts and cheese can be enjoyed the moment it is received and requires no further effort by the recipient. Also consider sending a charcuterie board with cheese, olives, and meat to comfort another. All of these gifts are welcome and serves as an alternative to sending flowers.
• Gourmet Meal - A soup basket, tea and cookie basket, or Italian dinner is a thoughtful to remind others you are thinking of them during a hectic or difficult time. Local pasta sauce and fresh bread is nice touch to add to the gift.
• Self-Care Products - A spa or comfort basket is perfect to support healing. Spa items, lotions, loofahs, sparkling water or hot tea and just a few essentials that make a thoughtful gift.
