I am a person that absolutely loves giving gifts. It makes me so happy to watch someone get excited to open something. In this case it makes me so happy to surprise someone that is at home doing their part to flatten the curve. It has been so fun to watch people get a surprise that they had no idea was coming and that had made me so happy! Today I am sharing some ideas to send to friends and family that maybe live further away or even someone you just want to let know that you are thinking of them! I am also sharing some ideas to send to people in your life who are still working through all of this!

One last thing I wanted to mention is just a small reminder to be patient with shipping. These are obviously not essential items and most places like Amazon are prioritizing shipping for things like food, water and cleaning supplies. Everyone is doing their best!

1. Puzzles - can’t go wrong with a good puzzle!

2. Board Games - So many new ones the I haven’t seen before to try!

3. Adult coloring books - if you want you can send colored pencils or markers as well.

4. A new book - This would definitely depend on the person but I added a few that I am interested in below!

5. Snacks - for one of our friends we sent him a popcorn machine and some popcorn seeds to have for movie nights! Another person we send beaver nuggets from Buccees which was super nostalgic because we used to live in Texas. I couldn’t believe I found them on Amazon!!

6. Beauty face masks! Send your favorite charcoal mask or sheet masks!

7. Bath bombs - I know that I have been stressed out and baths always help me to relax and take a minute for myself! Send a box of bath bombs or some Epsom salts!

8. At home nail kit - its no secret that a lot of peoples nails are about to be realllll janky lol an at home gel manicure is not impossible to achieve!

9. Hair mask - they will finally have time to do this with being at home. I feel like I never do them because I don’t have the time commitment to have wet hair. Finally have that time!

Things to do extra for nurses, doctors, grocery store workers, front line staff, mail delivery drivers and every single other person that is considered an essential and is still out in the world working.

1. Gas gift cards - For getting too and from work. Idk about you but my sister who works in a hospital is driving well over an hour each way to get to work right now on top of working 12 hr shifts! Give them a gift card for the gas station they stop at the most.

2. Coffee gift cards - I can’t even imagine how tired they are! Send them a coffee or two on you! You can even text Starbucks gift cards.. So easy!

3. Smoothies - You can send them a box of smoothies from Daily Harvest. They have so many options to choose from. They even have soups and other things like oatmeal that you can add to the box! Send them some immunity boosting smoothies to drink. Not to mention it makes meals a lot easier! If you follow this link it will give you $25 off your first box!

4. STAY HOME - I know there are a million people saying this right now but seriously.. this would make them so happy to know that they don’t need to be worried about you on top of everything else they are dealing with at work! Plus its free to do lol

If you guys think of anything else to add to either of these lists please DM me or email me so I can add them to the list! As I think of new ones I will add them and update this list! Have you guys been doing any of these at home already? I have and I am basically now the queen of puzzles now lol Let me know what you guys have been up to!
