If you're isolating for Christmas, what would you like a friend to send you?

[Luredbyapomegranate]

A mate of mine will (like loads of people) be isolating alone for Christmas - even worse he's getting married in the New Year, so that might cancelled too.

In this miserable position, what would you like your friend to send you?
He doesn't need any basics.

Afternoon tea delivered.

A heated blanket

A decent supply of red wine.

All the necessary ingredients to make several negronis.

And some ossau-iraty cheese.

And maybe a selection box.

Do they have covid?
If so no food or drink.

An oximeter is the best gift

Beer selection and a cheese board and crackers.....that's what my dh would like.

DH's favourite covid cheering up gift was a fleece blanket long enough for a 6ft2 bloke to lie under on the sofa - good when he was really poorly, his temperature was up and he had chills, but also good for lounging and binge-watching Netflix as he recovered.

These are great - thanks very much - would not have thought of blanket.

He’s under the weather with it, but not sick sick

Amazon voucher so he can download loads of Kindle books. Heated blanket. Treat food.
That would turn isolation into a mini holiday for me! (I'm assuming no DC in the house, otherwise the answer would be very different! )

I'm on day 9 of isolation and have gone stir crazy....... I've got no taste or smell so wouldn't have appreciated food/drink. But I've read a couple of books and enjoyed some streamed TV so a voucher may be an idea? Or a massive jigsaw puzzle. It's very tedious being indoors day after day.

Treat food and alcohol.

One of my best friend's is isolating over Christmas and not even in her main home, and stuck in 1 room.

I organised a WhatsApp group of our friends and told them so they could all write to her and I suggested those that wanted to could send books or craft kits.

I sent a needle felting set and then a tub of chocolates. I spaced them out so to bring exciting moments to different days.

Treat food and alcohol.

Did you eat with Cv19?

@TheHoptimist I ate, just couldn't taste anything unless it was loaded up with jalapeños. Pointless.

Blanket, activities for when he's feeling better maybe (some complex papercraft, jigsaw, 1000 dot dot-dot) painkillers, ice lollies.

Jigsaw is great. Thanks everyone

If he's feeling rough, this went down well when friends of ours had it

a crockpot full of homemade healthy broth

Mullein herbal tea & honey... helps flu symptoms, even covid

Homemade chocolate brownies
