Many of the quotes you see posted as you scroll through your social media feeds are meant to inspire people and make them feel strong enough to handle anything life throws at them. We know that these quotes about strength in hard times must really resonate with our customers. The people who receive our gifts have to be brave and strong in the hardest of circumstances – it’s a mindset they need to embrace to get through life’s most difficult challenges. Some of our customers share their stories with us about who they're sending our gift packages to or what gift they received (like Colleen from New York, who wrote us about the sympathy gift she sent to a friend who lost...
It can be so difficult to determine what sympathy gift to send for the loss of a husband -- and a father. It's an impossibly difficult situation, especially when the children are young. We created many of the gift packages in our Grief Gifts category to be universal, meaning they can be sent to a variety of recipients and still feel appropriate.
