What helps coronavirus stress?

That is such a cute idea. i've made care packages for my friends before during hard times like break ups and i like to include their favorite snack, maybe something to do like a sudoku or puzzle book.

I didn't even think to include an activity book and her fave gummy bears- Thanks so much!

Hi Alyssa,

What a thoughtful idea for your bestie! Here are a few more ideas for your consideration:

- Adult coloring books - this is very therapeutic for many; some have inspirational messages

- Reading materials - books by her favorite authors or magazines...whatever she likes

- Foot masks - they feel luxurious!

- Nail polish/ manicure kit - our nails aren't getting the attention they deserve right now

- Chocolate - there is no wrong time to send chocolate IMO

Do you have a weekly video call scheduled with your BFF? The best thing for her right now might be seeing your face and hearing your voice.

How very thoughtful of you! You sound like a very understanding and compassionate friend. I would say just the gesture of sending her a care package is more than enough! While still important, it's less important what's in the box Your listed items and other commenters' suggestions sound wonderful! I especially like the coloring book / reading materials / puzzle / something to focus her mind on! She'll be talking about her care package for weeks!

First off, you're an awesome friend. This is really thoughtful. I'd include a heartfelt note telling her that you love her and that you're there for her no matter what. I also think bath salts or bath bombs, nail polish and nail file, easy reading (magazines or beach reads) could be fun! Maybe something she and her fiance would enjoy together like a puzzle? I'm a fan of coloring books, sudoku, and crosswords.
