Attaching remnant paper to a jar lid makes for a simple yet attractive gift container.
Creativity expert Andrew Rakos demonstrates a creative alternative to the get-well card--themed baskets.
  • Even the simplest gift can mean a great deal to a sick co-worker. Try wrapping lotioned tissues or lozenges for a thoughtful yet inexpensive gift.

  • Boil and clean a jar, then use remnant paper and glue on the lid to create a gift container for homemade soup. This will add a nice touch when dropping off that get-well gift.

  • For sick children, roll up an activity book and insert lozenges, candy and colored paper inside, then tie at both ends.

  • For a friend that's experienced a breakup, try creating a small basket with some bath salts and small candles. This basket is designed to help the person relax and feel better about themselves.
