Symbolic get well presents
Flowers are the ideal get well soon present for anyone, regardless of gender identity, age or taste. Giving and receiving flowers produces genuine positive effects for both parties, producing sincere smiles and better moods. By choosing flowers with appropriate symbolism, you strengthen your message. Discover our picks for bouquets and flowers that represent strength and positive wishes here.
Bouquet with gerberas and baby's breath
Gerberas are the symbol of cheerfulness and positivity: exactly what you need when you are ill or going through a difficult period. The Gerbera owes this symbolism to its cheerful pop of colour and variety of shapes. Choose Gerberas with different colours and shapes for an extra mood boost.
By combining different Gerberas with cheerful Gypsophila, you'll create a beautifully stylish bouquet.
Bouquet with chrysanthemums
If there's one flower that symbolises health and happiness, it's chrysanthemum. Also known as the ‘golden flower’ thanks to its warm colours and rich symbolism. This, together with its beautiful appearance, makes it perfect get well gift.
Chrysanthemums also combine beautifully with baby's breath, as well as roses (to represent love and a great present for your partner) or carnations (for a beloved family member).
You could also use chrysanthemums to make tea or a cheesecake, if you're feeling especially handy.
Bouquet of roses
Want to give someone close to your heart a loving display? Give them a big dose of love with a bouquet of roses.
Lilac-coloured roses symbolise joy and well-being and pink roses symbolise softness and tenderness. This bouquet communicates 'I will love and take care of you' - in other words, the perfect get-well-soon present.
Bouquet of dried flowers
Looking for a get well present the recipient will be able to enjoy for months or even years to come? Choose a bouquet of dried flowers. Great inclusions are limonium (a symbol of gratitude and appreciation), straw flower (a symbol of eternal love) and helichrysum (a symbol of immortality and eternal love).
You can give ready-made dried flowers as a gift, or you can also choose fresh flowers that dry well. Check out our tips and advice about dried flowers here.
Have your get well soon bouquet delivered
If you're unable to gift flowers to a recipient personally, why not have your chosen bouquet delivered by a florist local to where they live? You could even add a nice card or poem to the flowers to make it more personal.
