Q My friend is going through a really difficult time, how can I show her that I really care even though I am far away?

Popular boxes include Be Kind to Yourself, Sleep & Sympathy, Pick-me-up, Friendship, Pamper, Gin & Chocolate, Happy Birthday, and A Nice Cup of Tea. We offer vegan options for most of our boxes.
