Any Ideas for what goes in a Sympathy Gift Basket?
An out-of-town friend, who is very dear to us, lost a young sister to cancer. This has obviously been very devastating for her, and we really want to give her a gift basket of things that will soothe and comfort her. Unfortunately, I find that the gift baskets which I’ve found online have irrelevent and — in my opinion — inappropriate sympathy gifts (like cheese logs, and sausages..etc.) I fear I lack the ettiquette to pull this one off.
PLEASE – does anyone have any ideas for classy, inspiring sympathy gift baskets that aren’t corny. Nothing over-the-top with inspirational messages, or bible verses. I’m sure she would appreciate anything we give her, but our friend is a very hip, young, modern woman, with taste.
Please list your top 3 suggestions for things that are classy, tasteful, that will soothe her in her grief, and won’t offend her.
(hint: anything organic is also good)
Thank you everyone! I only have a few days to do this
One thing I found very hard to do after the loss of my mother was to just keep going through the every day trivial things of life. The BEST thing someone did for me was cook…. I was so devastated I was forgetting to eat…. so, fruit, crackers, teas always work too…. a plant of some sort is a nice touch…. if you are going to make it yourself, go to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods and fill that basket up with foods that can be nibbled on…. And you might include a very tasteful journal and nice pen with a little note that states, “here is a place for you to write down all of your memories of your sister. May you be filled with the joy she brought to your life.”
Or something like that…. I think, more than anything, it is the fact that you are thinking about her that will bring comfort to her…
