Creative Sympathy Gift Ideas

When choosing a gift to send your condolences to a friend who has lost a loved one

, take a bit of time to put some thought into your selection. Many people simply send flowers, but then the grieving have to figure out what to do with dozens of flower arrangements that are going to take up a lot of room and will soon wilt. When you want to show your sympathy for a loved one who is mourning, give a thoughtful gift that will actually help their healing process.

There are many wonderful, unique, and creative sympathy gifts that are too often overlooked. To start the decision making process, consider the person are choosing the gift for, and the relationship they had with the deceased. Did they lose their mother, child, sibling, or partner? Give a unique gift that is going to give the relationship the honor and respect that it deserves.

One example of a creative sympathy gift is a piece of custom jewelry. Give the gift of a beautiful piece of jewelry that they can wear as often as they would like, that will keep the memory of the deceased close to them and in their thoughts always. The jewelry can be customized and personalized to honor their lost loved one. This can be a locket with a picture, a bracelet with an engraving, or a ring with a birthstone. You can turn their memories into something beautiful that will last for many many years.

Another creative way to honor death is with life. You can accomplish this through the gift of a memorial tree. By giving the gift of a tree, the person can celebrate their loved ones life by creating a new life and watching it grow. You can choose from any tree that you believe would be appropriate and pair it with a beautiful engraved dedication stone. Nurturing another living thing can really help the healing and grieving process.

There are many great sympathy gift options. A sympathy gift is a success if it is able to honor the memory of the departed respectfully. Before you decide to send a flower arrangement, consider an elegant tear bottle, a memorial engraved ornament, a customized memorial wind chime, or any of the previous sympathy gifts mentioned. Your friends and relatives will appreciate the extra thought you have given to their gift. Not only will you be giving them a beautiful and thoughtful gift, but you will also be giving them a gift that will help them remember and heal.
