What do I get an ill coworker?

A coworker has been out sick for a couple weeks now. We want to get him something nice but aren%26#039;t sure what exactly to get. He%26#039;s male, so we%26#039;re not sure if he%26#039;ll like a flower arrangement. And he%26#039;s recovering from a nasty stomach virus, so a basket of fruit or chocolates probably won%26#039;t go over too well either.





Any suggestions?

Reply:Nothing speaks louder to a man than a simple card with genuine prayers or well-wishes written in them. They also don%26#039;t mind a single flower - since he%26#039;s had a virus - a soup basket with puddings added or jello might be a big hit - these are all things that he can eat, are practical, and aren%26#039;t hard on the stomach. They also have a tendency to enjoy joke cards more so than women - but not make fun of you jokes - include some of his work to be done lists and a deadline that has already gone by or something of that nature - we took a picture of a guys empty work area once and said %26quot;are you going to fill it or do we need to be ... oh never mind, we%26#039;re just ready for you to come back ... and we%26#039;re sure you are too! He thought that was great! We had blown up into an 8x10 and everyone signed on the photograph -

Reply:Some homemade soup would be good with some nice bread. Or if you dont cook maybe a get well basket with soup and bread starter kits and wooden spoon. He could make it when he is up and moving around. Even if he doesnt cook I am sure it would be appreciated.





Or maybe if he is a joker get him a pillow with the words %26quot;Are you ever gonna get up?%26quot; or something. You can find iron on prints and sayings that look like emrodery all over now. So that would be easy.
