As a military wife, I am no stranger to care packages. I have sent dozens to my husband throughout the years during deployments, long rotations, and TDYs.

However, I have also sent several care packages back home to loved ones because of all the milestones and events we miss living so far away.

Unfortunately, we’ve had a couple of loved ones go through some big medical issues, and we wanted to send a care package to let them know that we were thinking of and praying for them, no matter how far apart we are.

So, here are some get well soon care package ideas, if you ever find yourself in the same predicament.

Get Well

You can’t go wrong with the traditional ‘Get Well’ message along with medical necessity stickers!

Lack Of Vitamin Me

This get well soon care package is more suited to a romantic relationship. That’s why I also included it on the list of 9 Funny and Flirty Care Package Ideas.

One Tough Cookie

This tough cookie pun is a great way to remind your long-distance loved one that no matter what they’re going through, they are tough enough to overcome it. Plus, it’s super cute, and you can fill it with yummy cookies!

Feel Better

This ‘Feel Better’ box is another classic get well soon care package. I love the simplicity of the design and the fact that it’s filled with sick day necessities. It would be great for someone on deployment!

Box of Sunshine

A ‘box of sunshine’ is a common themed box that you see online, but this particular version of it is perfect for a get well soon care package. It says, “I know this box of sunshine won’t take the pain away, but know that the sun still shines on a rainy day.”

Everything ‘Butt’ the Toilet

This box is technically themed for bath stuff and toiletries, but it could definitely work for someone who recently had a stomach virus. Or as a way to prepare for a possible future illness. For people who are deployed and don’t always have access to a store, this is a great idea.

What a cheeky take with this ‘Take Care Package’. And it’s full of all the things you need when you’re not feeling well.

Hang In There

I love this box that reminds your loved one to ‘hang in there’. It would be especially relevant for someone going through a long treatment, like chemo.

Hug in a Box

It doesn’t get much sweeter than this ‘hug in a box’. I love all of the designs at Sea to Sea with Love, and the stickers make it so easy to decorate care packages.

Here are some ideas for things to include in a get well soon care package:

Box Filler Ideas

  • OTC medicines (Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tums, Pepto Bismol, etc.)
  • first aid kit
  • tissues

  • wet wipes

Being apart from your loved ones is hard. It’s even harder when they’re sick or injured, and you can’t even stop by to check on them.

I hate that helpless feeling, but sending happy mail is a great way to let them know that you’re thinking about them.

I hope these ideas help you get a package in the mail soon!
