What's the best gift to send someone who is sick or recovering?

Comfort food is consistently the top choice — something warm, easy to eat, and requiring no effort to prepare. Soup, chicken pot pie, and grilled cheese kits are especially popular because they're gentle on the stomach and feel like a home-cooked meal, even when shipped. Spa and relaxation gifts are a good complement when the person needs rest more than food.

Do get well gifts ship nationwide, and how fast will they arrive?

Yes — all Dorothy Lane Market get well gifts ship nationwide with ground and express shipping options, so you can choose based on how quickly your gift needs to arrive. Most items are hand-packed and shipped within 1-2 business days of ordering.

What's included in a Dorothy Lane Market Get Well Soon Gift Box?

Our signature Get Well Soon Gift Box includes soothing mint tea, Italian wedding soup, organic chicken noodle soup, artisan lavosh crackers, and Killer Brownie® cookie dough bars — a mix of savory comfort and a little sweetness to brighten someone's day.

Are there healthy or lighter get well gift options?

Yes. For gifts focused on gentler, lower-sugar options, our healthier snack boxes and spa-inspired gifts pair well with a get well message, offering nourishing choices like nuts, dried fruit, and calming teas alongside self-care items.

Get Well Soon Gift Baskets, Delivered With Care

When someone you love is under the weather, the right gift isn't flowers that wilt in a week — it's a warm bowl of soup, a golden chicken pot pie, or a grilled cheese kit that turns a hard day into a comforting one. Since 1948, Dorothy Lane Market has been Dayton's home for gourmet comfort food, and we've brought that same care to our nationwide get well gift collection.

Our get well gift baskets are built around what actually helps someone feel better: made-from-scratch DLM chicken pot pie with a golden, flaky crust, and comfort classics like our Ultimate Grilled Cheese Kit paired with tomato soup. For mornings after a rough night, our brunch gift boxes — think coffee cake, waffles, and a good cup of coffee — bring a little joy back to the table. And when what someone really needs is rest, not another task, our spa and self-care gifts (soothing teas, cozy Warmies®, and quiet indulgences) offer permission to slow down.

Not sure what to send? Start with a classic like the Get Well Soon Gift Box. Whatever you choose, you're sending more than food — you're sending the message that someone is thinking of them.
