Sympathy Fruit Gift Baskets
Is this a good sympathy gift for my friend? Her mother just died?
My friend’s mother just died…we have been working together a few years and she is basically like a mother to me. Me and my girlfriend are friends with her family but we never knew her mother. I was going to get them a Vermont Teddy Bear with a card saying “We are sorry for the loss of your loved one, keep this in her memory” Does that seem a bit over the top or no? For some reason it seems like a strange sympathy gift to me…but I didn’t want to go with a generic fruit basket or flower arrangement…I wanted it to be something they could keep and remember. For me it just almost seems droll to give someone a gift that is like ‘here is something to remind you that someone died’
Am I thinking too deeply about this? Any thoughts?
What matters is the note you write, on a card or letter, and the comfort you offer this person. I think you could even write “You have been like a mother to me” in your note and it would mean a lot. There should be no such thing as a sympathy gift-I agree it is just a reminder.
People gave my husband teddy bears when he had cancer and we were dumbfounded, although we appreciated the thought. Teddy bears for a 40 year old man? Reminders of his illness? No thanks!
