Sympathy Gift Basket Ideas That Bring Real Comfort

A sympathy basket says I am here for you when words fall short. The most comforting baskets mix small everyday comforts with one lasting keepsake the family can keep long after the flowers fade.

What to put in a sympathy basket

• Comfort items. Soft tea, honey, a cozy throw, and gentle snacks for hard days.
• Self care. A candle, hand cream, and tissues show you thought of their daily needs.
• A lasting keepsake. Add a personalized memorial keepsake with their loved one's name so the basket leaves something they keep.
• A handwritten note. Name the person who passed and share one warm memory.

How to make it personal

Personalize the keepsake with a photo or name, preview, and order. Made to order in 1 to 3 business days, US delivery 7 to 12 days standard or 5 to 7 express.
