Finding the best gifts to show your love and support isn’t always easy, especially during tough times of loss and grievance. Whether you have a friend who just lost a loved one or a relative mourning the passing of a beloved family member, sending something to offer care while commemorating their loss is always a kind gesture. Sympathy gifts are a thoughtful way to give comfort to those facing the loss of a loved one, but sometimes it can be difficult to find a gift that feels both appropriate and meaningful.
The gift of a fresh flower delivery, of course, is always a safe and thoughtful way to go. Or maybe you want to take it a step further and send a gift basket to give them something edible that they can savor or a wellness gift that they can take care of themselves with. For those who want something a little more meaningful and permanent, there are also plenty of mourning gift ideas that commemorate the loss of a loved one in a more permanent way, whether through prints from personalized art, jewelry or home decor items.
To help make sailing through a difficult time a little less stressful, we’ve gone ahead and found the most thoughtful sympathy gifts to give right now. From self-care packages to cookie deliveries, memorial gifts and beyond, send some much-needed love and support to those suffering loss with these meaningful gift ideas.
