Puzzled about what to give for a get well gift?

Get Well Toolkit

Buying a get well gift for a sick friend or co-worker doesn’t have to involve guess work and pulling your hair out.  Puzzle book baskets are the right mix of boredom busting entertainment and the personal touch you want in a get well gift.  Everyone appreciates a puzzle book, and at Book Bouquet we offer a variety of puzzle book baskets for men, women and kids that make ideal get well gifts.

Puzzle book baskets are available in all price points, and you can be sure a Book Bouquet get well gift will be entertaining and appreciated.  One of the most difficult things when sick is handling the bed rest, and boredom!  Puzzle book baskets keep the mind entertained and engaged and offer a respite from boredom.  Many hospitals have rules against flowers and food gifts.  Puzzle book baskets are a great no-food alternative for traditional get well gifts.

Boredom Buster

Combine four puzzle books, funny fortune cookies and a get well balloon and you have the cure for boredom, and Book Bouquet’s most popular gift basket, “The Boredom Buster”.  With a retail price of $39.95 this mid-priced get well gift has been stamping out boredom since 1998.  Our puzzle book baskets come with crosswords, word searches, Sudoku and variety puzzle books to keep anyone entertained. 

No Food Gift Basket

When you send a get well gift you are sending your best wishes too.  At Book Bouquet we don’t take that lightly.  Our get well gifts have been designed with the patient’s needs in mind.  We include pens and pencils because we know they may not have them at their bedside in a hospital.  We include a mix of puzzles, because we know people like different kinds of challenges.  Our puzzle book baskets come with food or the choice of no food because not every patient can have gourmet items. 

The next time you need a get well gift look no further than www.BookBouquet.com where get well gifts are our specialty.  Men, women and kids all enjoy receiving a boredom busting puzzle book basket from Book Bouquet when in need of a get well gift.  

Read Pres. and Mrs. Obama's Favorite books and our favorite books by them

In celebration of Inauguration Day today we thought we would highlight the fact that both the president and first lady are published authors. 

Let's start with Michelle Obama's "American Grown".  As a trendsetting first lady we love that a trend she is pushing is home grown, organic and healthy eating.  It's a message everyone can agree on.  "American Grown" features gardening tips and recipes for using the fruits of your labor.

There is also a kids book called "First Garden the White House Garden and How It Grew", if you are looking for a gift for the garden loving child.

As for what is on Michelle's nightstand we understand she likes to read with her daughters.  One of the books they have read this year is "Life of Pi", maybe in anticipation of seeing the big screen version in the White House theater.

President Obama has written two best sellers, "Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams of My Father".  Both autobiographical in nature.  But I believe his best work is the book he wrote for his Daughters, "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters".  He sings the praises of thirteen unique Americans who have lived inspired lives, including artist Georgia O'Keefe, athlete, Jackie Robinson, and president, George Washington.  This is a wonderful gift to share with the children in your life.

As for his reading list President Obama is a known avid reader.  What was on his nightstand last week is probably already finished and the next book begun.  However we have some of his known favorites to highlight here: Ernest Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls", Toni Morrison's "Song of Solomon", John Steinbeck's "In Dubious Battle", Taylor Branch "Parting the Waters" just to name a few.

An interview with author, Melody Stevens on her new book  
"Become a Time Millionaire: 100 Ways to Gain an Extra Hour a Day".

Q:  "Time Millionaire" is such a great name, how did you come up with it?

A:  Actually, the name Time Millionaire came out of a savor the success meeting in NJ. I went into the meeting wondering what to do next in business. My current businesses (music schools) were up and running smoothly almost without me, and I had also begun to drop some of my bad habits like chronic yo yo dieting and complaining to people. frankly, I was bored.

So I said in the meeting, wow, I'm really time wealthy. In fact, I have so much free time on my hands I feel like a time millionaire! That's when Angela jia Kim, founder of Savor the Success, said "That's the name of your next business!

And so that's how Time Millionaire got it's name and I've been writing, coaching, and speaking all over the place ever since.

Q:  Time is our most precious commodity so how do you help people to stop wasting it?

A:   I help people first define their deepest desires and dreams, then I help them identify where they are wasting time. I often have my clients do a one week time log. Then we come up with mindset strategies and practical tricks for sticking to priorities and moving away from the time wasting habits.

Q:  What's the easiest tip to implement around the house?

A:  One of the easiest tips to implement around the house is to plan TV time. TV can be fun and entertaining, educational even, but when used as a default it wastes a lot of time. So, planned TV watching only....stick to your favorite shows and try not to watch more than one or two hours at a time.

Q:  I know you've interviewed many CEO's for your Huffington Post column, who was your favorite and why?

A:  I really enjoyed interviewing the CEOs. One of my favorite interviews was with CEO Mike McNally of Skanska USA. He was so warm and personable over the phone. I loved when he said, "You have to BE what you want your company to be." many of the other CEOs I interviewed echoed McNally's statement as well. 

Q:  What inspired you to write this book?

A:  This book is based on a compilation of two years of my weekly ezine articles. I had a keynote speaking engagement a few weeks ago and I decided that in order for the participants to have something to take home with them that could benefit them in a big way, I needed a book. So, a friend of mine, Getrude Matshe had this "write your book in 40 hours" program complete  with template...I knew I could use my time wealth and get this book done within the time frame so I jumped at the chance!

Q:  Any special offers for people who buy the book today?

A:  To celebrate the release of my new book, I am launching it in a BIG way.

One of the key messages of Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul is that togetherness and sharing are the keys to moving on. In these stories people share their experiences with coping and they share deep memories. Each one has found that putting thoughts and feelings into words is not only cathartic, it allows them to reconnect with their loved one and others.
This book is available in Bereavement Gift Basket, Sympathy Gift Box and Chicken Soup for the Soul Gift Basket.
