FAQs about sympathy gifts

In this section, we'll answer your top questions about sympathy gifts.

What is a nice condolence gift?

Gift baskets are a nice condolence gift because they're suitable for families as well as individuals. Gift baskets include a selection of small items, so you don't need to worry if someone doesn't like a particular item. Ideally, you should add a card to your basket so you can include a message of love and support.

What can I give instead of flowers as a sympathy gift?

If you don't want to send flowers, modern sympathy gifts like gift baskets, boxes of chocolates, food delivery gift cards, candles, and home-cooked meals are all lovely gifts. If you want to send live flowers but can't, dried flowers or a dried flower gift basket like the More Than Flowers Hamper could be a good option.

What are the best things to bring to someone who is grieving?

If you want to bring a grieving person something, home-cooked casseroles, sliced fruit, some snacks, wine, flowers, or boxes of chocolates are great choices.

If you want to show your support to a close friend or relative, you can also offer to take over a task that needs to be done before the funeral service. Organising a funeral and wake can be very overwhelming, so pitching in can ease the burden on the grieving family.

What do you send someone who's grieving in Australia?

In our opinion, the best sympathy gift is a gift basket that includes a selection of food items. Gift baskets are a great grieving gift because they can be enjoyed by the whole family. Food also provides comfort during difficult times.

What do you put in a grief care package?

A grief care package can help you show your support for a loved one and make the next few days of their life a little bit easier. Here's a list of things you can include in a care package for a grieving person:

  • Canned soup
  • Meal kits
  • Sliced fruit and vegetables
  • Instant oatmeal packets
  • Baked goods
  • Snack items
  • Muesli bars
  • Candles
  • Self-care items
  • Plants
  • Keepsakes
  • Wine or champagne

What do you give a bereaved family?

A gift hamper full of food items is an appropriate sympathy gift for a family who's just lost someone close to them. Gift hampers have a selection of items, so they're suitable for more than one person. Gift baskets are also full of snacks, so they can provide a lot of comfort during a difficult time.

What is the gifting etiquette for a death in the family?

The gifting etiquette for a death in the family differs a lot between different cultures and religions. But generally, it's appropriate to send a card, flowers, and food-based gifts within two weeks of receiving the news. The closer you are to the deceased person and their immediate family, the bigger your gift can be.

Condolence gifts given at the funeral or wake are also common in many families. If you don't know what to give as a funeral gift, a donation to a cause that the deceased person cared about is a safe and thoughtful choice. Many families will choose a cause ahead of time and put a collection box out at the service.

Be there for them with a thoughtful sympathy gift

Sympathy gifts are a great way to show your support for someone who's going through a challenging time. The perfect gift says, "I'm here for you", "You're not alone", and "You're loved" in a way that words sometimes can't communicate.
