Trying to find the perfect gift to send someone to let them know you are thinking of them during a difficult time can be hard. Selecting appropriate and beautiful sympathy gift baskets requires empathy and discretion. Express your heartfelt condolences with these thoughtful same day delivery sympathy gift idea options, to include in a sympathy gift basket.

What to include in a Sympathy Gift Basket

Creating a sympathy gift basket requires thoughtfulness and consideration for the recipient during their time of loss. Include items that offer comfort and support, such as a heartfelt condolence card expressing your sympathy and support. A soothing candle or essential oils can provide a calming atmosphere. Include comforting treats like herbal teas, gourmet chocolates, or homemade baked goods to offer a moment of solace. A soft blanket or cozy shawl can provide physical comfort during moments of grief. Adding a journal or a book on coping with loss can offer therapeutic support for the grieving individual. Lastly, including a plant or flower arrangement can symbolize hope and renewal amidst sorrow, providing a lasting reminder of your care and support.

Candles: Add in our Empress & Co. scented candle to create a comforting memory and warm atmosphere. Our scented candles have been meticulously curated using scents such as Silver Mohair, and Orange Flower & Ylang. Long-lasting and mood-lifting, these smells will warm your heart and make a beautiful addition to any sympathy gift.
