Find the cure for what ails them:

Could the patient use a little distraction?
Nobody likes to be sick in bed, and we could all use a cheerful boost to help take our minds off it when we are. The Brighten Your Day flower arrangement lives up to its name and then some. It’s bursting with bold, beautiful jewel-toned flowers that are sure to cheer up their little corner of the world. It’s a breath of fresh air for someone stuck indoors and a colorful companion when you can’t be there. Includes alstroemeria flowers symbolizing friendship, carnations for beauty and chrysanthemums for fidelity.

Are they getting enough Vitamin C?
Any third-grader can tell you that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. And we all know the health benefits of Vitamin C. So when a friend is under the weather, why not send them a bountiful Plant and Fruit Basket? The delicious assortment of fresh produce includes apples, bananas and pears, and arrives tucked inside an oval wicker basket. And if they’re likely to receive a steady stream of visitors, this gift makes it easy to be the gracious host without even getting out of bed. The fruit is arranged alongside a gorgeous flowering azalea plant, which is a lovely treat to be enjoyed long after the goodies are gone.

Are they craving old-fashioned comfort?
Hot tea is a tried-and-true home remedy that has been used throughout the world and across time. In fact, Zen Buddhists have this to say about tea: “It’s a divine remedy. It gladdens and cheers the heart.” DeLaFlowers.com takes the prescription one step further with the lovely Pink Roses Teacup Bouquet. A precious floral teacup and saucer arrive filled with cheerful alstroemeria flowers, asters and pink roses. Long after the blushing floral bouquet is gone, they will find soothing comfort in their keepsake gift.

Do they need a break from being a grown-up?
Getting sick makes us all wish we could be kids again, tucked into bed with mom by our side to spoil and take care of us. The simple daisy flower is the quintessential symbol of innocence and a whimsical reminder of childhood. Our Dashing Daisies flower bouquet takes them back to the carefree days of their youth and is the perfect choice for a friend who’s been shouldering more than his or her fair share of grown-up burdens. Perched on a bedside cabinet or kitchen table, this bubble vase overflowing with yellow and white daisies will remind them that life wasn’t always so complicated – and will be simpler again soon.

Would a trip through the garden raise their spirits?
The climate or circumstance may make a stroll through the garden prohibitive right now, so why not send them the next best thing? Help them get back on their feet with DeLaFlowers.com’s unique Fresh Blossom Potpourri flower arrangement, a mix of seasonal flowers cheerfully displayed inside a terra-cotta pot and adorned with a wide ribbon. Each garden flower conveys a special message, including carnations for beauty, daisies for loyalty and alstroemeria for friendship.

Do they need a dose of optimism?
Sometimes the hardest thing about being sick is being unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A Lily Topiary is a glorious reminder that we’re all capable of transformation and a fresh start.

Hovering nearby is a silk butterfly, a traditional symbol of change and transformation. Fresh, vibrant and full of hope, this floral arrangement celebrates life and will inspire them to do the same.

Have they forgotten how to smile?
When we’re feeling low, it’s easy to forget life’s simplest joys, like enjoying a good book or laughing with a friend. deLaFlowers.com’s spirited Burst of Yellow is bursting with the color yellow, which is said to evoke joy and delight. The floral gift includes bright yellow Asiatic lilies representing happiness and chrysanthemums, an ancient symbol of the sun.
