A Gift of Grace

Unless asked otherwise, most people tend to send flowers to funerals or memorial services. Sometimes though, a person does not discover a known friend or family member has experienced a death and the funeral has already taken place. In this case, a large funeral arrangement or casket spray is no longer needed, yet condolences need to be sent to the departed one’s family. A perfect way to achieve this message is by sending a sympathy gift basket. These gift baskets feature food items and are packaged with a sympathy notation. Since many families are left with burial, estate, insurance and other post-death concerns, a sympathy gift basket provides snack items to recipients who may be too busy or emotional to cook.

Sending a sympathy gift basket is perfect for local and out of state recipients. Because there are no guarantees a sympathy floral arrangement will arrive to the recipient as pictured (sometimes florists substitute flowers), sending a sympathy gift basket ensures continuity. Items included in the gift basket are the same ones mentioned in the gift basket’s online description. Furthermore when sending flowers, even if they are sent as pictured, the flowers may not arrive in perfect condition due to delivery issues. Gift baskets come neatly packaged in cellophane and are topped with a fabric bow. This ensures contents stay contained and arrive in presentation form.

When needing a group gift, sending a sympathy gift basket is an easy way for multiple people to send a communal gift. Since all people have varying tastes, they may not agree on the same flower arrangement. By sending a gift basket, a collection can be taken and based on amount collected; a sympathy gift basket can be purchased. Included in the basket’s personalized message, provide your company’s name or list all senders individually. This feature is great for corporations, organizations and clubs seeking to show their support to a co-worker or business associate.

Sorry for you loss.

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

There is no real “one size fits all” gift basket to deliver in times of sympathy and grief.  But if you know a bit about the person who is grieving, chances are you can find an idea for a gift basket that can help convey your condolences in a visible, tangible way that they will appreciate.  If in doubt, food gift baskets are always welcome-especially when filled with non-perishable foods that can help sustain the family in the days and weeks to come when they just have a hard time moving forward with the everyday functions of living-like cooking or preparing meals, for example. Online gift baskets are ideal if they live in another town or state. There are many unique gift baskets to choose from and you can match to the person you are sending to.

 So think of the person who is grieving, and if you want to extend your condolences in a tangible way, consider putting together a gift basket just for that person.  You may never know the effect of your extra thoughtfulness and care on the grieving person.  But you can be assured that when one hearts reaches out to another, the world is a little better place.

My Condolences With Sympathy

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

When a neighbor, a co-worker, a friend, or a family member experience the death of someone close to them, it’s hard to know what to say or do to express your sympathy and condolences.  Words often sound hollow to your own ears and empty, devoid of any way to really comfort the person or their family.  You wish there was something you could do-physically and tangibly-to show your support and sympathy and to help in some way. 

Many people will send cards and flowers.  And you may choose to do that, too.  But you want to do something more. A sympathy gift basket?

One way to do that little something extra is to send a gift basket to the immediate family of the deceased or the person you know who is experiencing grief at the passing of the deceased.  Gift baskets can contain food, beverages, or small gifts to sustain and encourage someone during a difficult time.  They can also be very practical.

 For instance, when someone dies, the family of the deceased usually finds themselves with a house full of company in the days following the death and the funeral.  Out of town relatives come to mourn and visit, sharing memories of the person who died.  That can put an additional strain on the time, energy, and budget of the family who is already suffering an incredible loss.  So many gift baskets put together with sympathy and condolences in mind may contain coffee, biscotti, cookies, or other snack type items that make serving guests less taxing on the family.
