Sympathy & Condolence Gifts
Knowing what to say or what to send to express your deepest sympathy to someone that has lost a loved one can be difficult. Here at Velvet Ribbon Baskets, we’ve put together some selections of sympathy cookie gifts and gourmet gift baskets designed specifically to share your condolences and let that special someone know that you are thinking of them.
Sympathy gift baskets can be stocked with just about anything, but some of the more standard items include edibles like fruit, crackers, cheeses, and other spreads. Others will have things like coffee, tea, nuts, and assorted chocolates. Oftentimes, these items are centered around a figurine or other inspirational items that are meant to offer comfort and peace. However, the beauty of the gift basket is that it can be customized for any person for any occasion. If you have specific items in mind that you know will bring comfort to someone, then those can be included in a basket. This is a great way to show not only your compassion and concern, but it has the added benefit of making a person feel extra special, knowing that their basket was especially designed for them during their time of mourning.
There are two way to go about giving a condolence gift basket. The first and most commonly used method is to order one, either online or over the phone, and have it shipped to the recipient. Velvet Ribbon specializes in gift baskets so we have a wide variety of baskets for you to choose from. The other option when it comes to giving a sympathy gift basket is to create your own. This is as easy as purchasing a basket and loading it up with your desired items. This is a good option for people who have very specific items they would like to give.
Expressing your condolences with a sympathy gift basket, gift of gourmet cookies, or a bouquet of flowers is a great way to let a friend, loved one, or co-worker know that you’re there for them during their time of sadness. A card is nice, but if you want to go above and beyond, then opt for a gift basket that is sure to bring a little sunshine to their lives.
