Great post!! My best friend is a spoonie and she has not be doing well lately. I took a similar approach to gift giving for her birthday last month, providing her with a essential oil infused message bar, body scrub that promotes circulation, and facial steamer tab to help with relaxation. She lives in the northern midwest so winters are very hard on her. 🙁 I will keep some of these gifts in mind her her Christmas present! 😀

I love this! Subscriptions are the best when you're sick. I've been wishing that there was a delivery service for the library, but I'm not that lucky 🙂 A fitbit/jawbone could also be great, if the person is working on gradually increasing their exercise!
Awesome list! I think comfy blankets are also a great idea. I'm actually embroidering my friend's name on one.
I had to laugh when I saw the picture! I wanted it all. Nothing better than a nice pair of slippers and the comfiest sweatshirt!! Plus we always need a good heating pad. I have so many different heating pads..you never know what tpye you may need.. oh the life. I love this list.
I'm going to share this! i LOVE it!
I put big comfy slippers, hoodies, sweatpants, and leggings on my list!
But I'm going to be making some rice heat packs for my spoonie friends!
