What would you gift self isolators?

Wool, a crochet hook and a link to Bella Coco on YouTube

Probably fruit and veg as this is something I have to buy regularly so presume others do as well.

Fresh fruit and veg lovely for doorstep. But also, if she has a smart phone, suggest setting up a new WhatsApp group for yourself, her and any mutual friends. Then you can all easily chat/send pics regularly, and she will feel involved still. You can also have free phone calls on it. It's very easy to do.

Also to keep her brain occupied, lots of free short courses here. www.futurelearn.com/courses

Flowers, wine and a reminder of my phone number so we can text

Some hand gel.

BTW: I have just started listening to the new Hilary Mantel book via Audible, it’s already enthralling. There’s 37 hours of it, so that should help an isolated person while away the time!

Definitely jigsaw puzzles, flowers, books, and a daily phone call (at least). Maybe a special parcel of toilet rolls and hand gel!!!

A ready cooked/prepared meal; a pot of ... ; a casserole; a gratin; a bowl of salad; a pie; trifle; ice cream; etc, etc., you know the person likes.

Ha ha Jess20 ?

A handful of magazines they've not read a box of fancy biscuits, a bottle of their fav tipple. A book of crossword puzzles and a seed/plant catalogue if they've a garden. And some little packages to be opened one per day one of which must be maltesers

Does she have a garden?
Maybe something to enjoy there? New kneeling pad, some seeds or voucher for seed catalogue (if not already too late).

If it was us, nitromores and sandpaper, we'll finish stripping the fireplaces and skirtingboards.

My phone number, a jotter and pen and a message saying to write down anything she needs, and tell me if I may phone her regularly and leave her messages in the polythene bag on her doorstep with the pebble to stop it blowing away. Plus some flowers and something she likes e.g. if she bakes, ingredients, knits? wool, etc.

Warning: please do leave the new Hilary Mantel, because it will take a long time to read, but leave a lectern or book stand as well because it is very, very heavy. Weight, not content.

My FaceTime address! I know from experience that loneliness is the worse thing!

netflix subscription

A good book and a box of chocolates .

Nothing. If it's by choice then she would have got in her own supplies, if you are such a snowflake you shut yourself away 'in case' you'd never come out again. The world is a dangerous place. Sorry but we didn't all escape to the country during the war 'in case' we got bombed out. What's happening to everyone.

As I am presently isolated at home with some gastric stuff, I would just love emails,,, flowers very cheering. plant pots better they last longer..

bits of shopping, my TV TIMES

no one has asked me if they can get me anything!!! boo! hoo!

Yes Esspee a bottle or two of spirits.& a good book.

A DVD of the zombie horror flick "28 Days After"......

Given that alcohol is known to kill the virus I would suggest a nice bottle of her favourite tipple. ?

WhatsApp and keep in touch. Pop over with something you know they like ever few days so they feel valued.
