Get Well Soon & Thinking of You

Recovering from surgery, sitting through a long winter cold or just having a rough month? The person you are thinking of has probably received enough fruit baskets to stock a grocery store. A hand-painted Limoges box is a sweeter kind of get-well wish. It fits on a crowded nightstand next to the tissues, arrives gift-boxed, and it is still cheerful when the last balloon has drifted to the floor. Every time they lift the lid, they will remember that somebody was rooting for them.

Bouquets That Never Need Water

Flowers are the heart of this collection, with blossoms painted on round boxes, pastel eggs, little books and even a white Eiffel Tower. You will see a pot of red amaryllis with its own watering can, a pink footstool set for afternoon tea, and an elegant perfume bottle wrapped in yellow and green blooms. Teddy bears make an appearance for anyone who needs a hug in porcelain form. Every piece is hand-painted in France and hinged, so there is a tiny spot inside for a vitamin, a prayer card or a pair of earrings that make the hospital gown feel less dreary.

Small Comforts That Add Up

Floral boxes are the gateway to a happy collecting habit. Once someone has a single spray of painted roses on the windowsill, a second and a third tend to bloom nearby. Group florals by color on a vanity tray, line them up on a sunny ledge, or mix them in with real teacups on a hutch for a garden that never needs weeding. A collection like this can mark the seasons of getting well, one sweet little box at a time.

Keep the comfort coming with Gardeners & Flower Lovers, a cozy cup from Tea & Coffee Lovers, or a soft hug in Teddy Bears.
