GetWellGifts was created to fill a niche to provide a thoughtful gift service specifically for a friend or loved one, who is not well, may be convalescing or is living with a chronic health condition. The company was founded by Dr Lisa Maddison. Lisa has worked in healthcare education and communications for 20 years and in that time has had plenty of experience of what it is like for the patients and those around them.

She comments, " When you are ill you can often be inundated with flowers as people strive to show they are thinking of you. Flowers are wonderful in the moment, but there is only so much space in a room and a limit on the number of vases to hand!"

"I set up GetWellGifts as I wanted to help others to give meaningful gifts to loved ones and friends when they are having a difficult time, feeling ill or just low. I also wanted to help enhance the lives of those patients, by helping the giver to make this more personal connection through their gift. "

We appreciate that most of us do not have the luxury of time to seek out the more unusual, yet meaningful gifts. And often we are many miles away from those we are thinking about and cannot deliver a gift in person. That is why at GetWellGifts we have devoted a lot of time to coming up with gift packages that combine a range of experiences and offer a more holistic approach to your healing wishes.

We hope to make the gift opening experience more fun by including a range of specially selected items which each offer something unique, yet still compliment each other perfectly: from products for healthcare, bodycare and personal care to goods forged on principles of ancient wisdom and holistic care, as well as those that offer some simple light-hearted acitivties and fun.

Browse, shortlist and then select that special gift. We will ensure it is delivered beautifully packaged and bearing your special message.

You may find, as you become familiar with our range of gifts, that many will make excellent Birthday and Christmas gifts, or in fact could be sent at any time if you want to let someone know you are thinking of them. We can wrap these appropriately and tag them with your special occasion message.

We are striving to expand our gift range to suit a variety of tastes and meet the needs of a range of health conditions. As part of this effort we welcome your thoughts, both on the gifts we already offer and your ideas for new gifts we might incorporate. Please email us via comments@getwellgifts.co.uk.
