If you’ve ever bought a ‘Get Well Soon’ hamper for anyone, you’ll know these gifts can be rather expensive. And I bet you know roughly how much each item within the hamper costs too! Like that bunch of grapes or those 6 bottles of BRAND’S essence of chicken. So unless you’re out to impress someone, there’s really no need to splurge. I do also think that some of the folks selling these “wellness hampers” need to select the items more carefully as I’ve seen how some hampers include things like apple juice and malt beverages (with lots of sugar) that are just not very good for people who are ill.
So I’ve handpicked 4 hamper vendors with value-for-money hampers that even I would be happy to receive myself. Also, I’ve included another option for folks who want to get a Get Well Soon gift for a girlfriend or a child, and don’t want a ‘generic’ sort of hamper.
#1: Orchard Florist
B-YP08 Eating Well Hamper $50, B-YP04 Healthy Bites Hamper $50 (Pic: Orchard Florist)
I found Orchard Florist’s range of $50 hampers pretty good value for money. Take the Eating Well Hamper, for instance, which has a lovely range of (largely healthy) snacks that anyone ill (at home or in the hospital) will certainly enjoy snacking on. There’s also Jasmine Green Tea and Earl Grey tea sachets on top of fruit. I think people of all ages will enjoy this hamper. So practical! The “Healthy Bites” hamper (I don’t know what there is to bite on beside some fruit) comes with bird’s nest and essence of chicken from TWO brands (for those who can’t decide if they prefer BRAND’S or New Moon’s chicken essence) 
Add on GST plus a delivery fee of $5.35 and this will be sent directly to your gift recipient. (Website: Orchard Florist)
#2: Far East Flora
Most of the companies selling hampers tend to lump fruit and flowers together. This particular hamper from Far East Flora is pretty unique: there’s a top layer for flowers, and fruits are at the bottom. And the best part is you can probably reuse this stand for your gardening – put in a few potted plants, for instance. Or use it to store jars and condiments in your kitchen! And it’s available for just $50.92 + tax + $6.96 for delivery (Website: fareastflora.com)
And for those might not truly desire / appreciate fruit and chicken essence, this next gift would likely make them go “awwwww”…
For just $42.84, your gift recipient gets an 8-inch teddy bear, 9-inch Elmo balloon AND a 3-rose “standing bouquet”. Seems like a 3-in-1 gift to me, and I think kids and girlfriends would surely appreciate it. (Website: giftblooms.com)
#3: 168florist
These hampers cost $39.90 each. They seem to be the most reasonably priced ones so far. Plus, there’s free delivery to Changi General Hospital and Ng Teng Fong Hospital, if you place your order online. (Website: 168florist.com)
#4: funagifts
For $39.95, you get chicken essence plus a box of crackers and free delivery. You can even pay via PayPal. (Website: funagifts.com)
