Send friends and loved ones flu-fighting comfort food and get well essentials

This year the flu bug has hit hard and hopefully by now you have received your flu shot or not found yourself in bed with the flu. In all reality there is just so much hand washing, staying away from others and taking your vitamins in order to avoid getting sick.

Whether or not you have received your flu shot or haven’t been a victim of this year’s influenza epidemic. If you’ve stayed healthy but know a friend or family member who is sick, stuck inside and uncomfortable, prescribe them with the perfect remedy: a sweet surprise delivered to their door.
