Care packages have been used for years to show those who you are apart from that you are thinking of them. Common recipients include those serving in the military and college students. With the COVID-19 pandemic, COVID care package ideas and COVID gift baskets have popped up all over the internet as a way to show your support to those in need in a way that promotes social distancing and quarantining while sick.
Show your clients who are located near or far that they are still top of mind with a carefully curated COVID care package.
What to put in a COVID Care Package
A COVID gift basket is like many other care packages, meaning it is meant to provide some essentials, as well as uplift the spirits of the recipients.
Common COVID care gift basket ideas include masks, sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, a thermometer, tissues, cough drops, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper, a water bottle, blankets, puzzles and games, mugs, tea, fuzzy socks, honey, candles, chocolate and candy, and soup.
Any gift that is meant to help soothe symptoms or provide some comfort while quarantining is a great addition to a COVID care package.
10 COVID Care Package Ideas
There are many ways to show your clients you’re there for them in the thick of their recovery from the novel coronavirus. Here are our top 10 COVID care package ideas for your clients:
1. Masks. An essential for when you’re sick or when visiting a business, government building or organization that requires face masks, including a mask in your COVID care package is a must. Consider the cotton face mask with filter pocket, help them stock up with disposable 3-ply masks or a full color face mask.
2. Sanitizer. From travel to full-size, there are a variety of hand sanitizer options to choose from. Consider the 3.4-ounce hand sanitizer gel, credit card sanitizer spray or the hand sanitizer with carabiner clip. Pro tip: if you are going to ship your COVID care package, keep your liquids under 4 ounces to avoid needing to triple-pack your package.
3. Disinfectant Wipes. Wiping down commonly touched surfaces can help limit the spread of viruses, including the coronavirus. Choose from a variety of disinfectant wipe options, including an 80-count full color pack, a canister of wipes or individual packets.
4. Thermometer. Body temperature, or fevers, are one way your clients can monitor if their symptoms are improving. Send them a customized digital thermometer or a forehead thermometer kit with your logo imprinted on it.
5. Tissues. From seasonal allergies and common colds all the way to the COVID-19 virus, tissues are an essential in a get-well care package. Consider a full-size tissue cube or smaller tissue pack.
6. Toiletries. Sometimes just having the essentials for personal hygiene is helpful. Consider the Weston Deluxe Vanity Kit, hand soap or tooth brush, all customized with your logo.
7. Toilet paper. Add a little laugh to your care package by including a roll of toilet paper to give a nod to the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020, as well as give your clients something they need, especially if they are quarantining.
8. Water bottles. Staying hydrated can help your clients recover from the COVID-19 virus, making a custom water bottle is a great COVID care package idea. Consider the premium glass tumbler with bamboo lip and BPA-free straw, the stainless steel sport grip bottle or the Sporty Pint Water Bottle.
9. Soup. Nothing says “Get Well Soon” quite like a bowl of soup. Add some cans of soup or packages of soup mix to your COVID care package and pair it with a custom ceramic bowl, Aztec Soup Bowl or noodle bowl.
10. Assemble a Custom Promo Pack. We can pack all the items for you and ship it directly to your clients with one of our Custom Promo Packs. Choose a pre-selected promo pack or create your own promo pack specific to your customers with a few of these ideas.
