Our Funniest Get Well Gifts


Ticklish Plant

Flowers are nice, and plants are lovely, but what about a ticklish plant? The Tickle Me plant reacts to your touch by folding its leaves and dropping its branches when you touch it or blow it a kiss. A cute alternative to your standard plant, this piece of greenery will provide some entertainment as well. Unfortunately, this kit does not actually come with the plant itself, but rather the seeds to grow your very own Tickle Me plant. When it blooms, you will see pretty pink flowers on it amidst the lovely greenery.


Assistance Bell

Now, this gift could possibly backfire if the person you’re giving it to lives with you! This assistance bell will ensure that your patient has the best care and can get help (or a refill of snacks!) when they need it. It will make them laugh at the idea of being able to ring a bell to summon a caregiver, while also providing a practical way for them to get assistance while healing from their ailments. If they get a little too bell-happy, just tuck the bell away for a while so you can catch a break!
