Good at over 25,000 locations nationwide, recipients can use their Spafinder gift card for a massage or facial, yoga or pilates classes, acupuncture or chiropractic, or over 25 total services. Encourage your loved one to take a break for themselves with a wellness gift card they can use anytime. Available in any denomination between $25 - $500.
Why We Love This Gift: This is one of those gifts perfect in just about any situation. New moms and those facing stressful pregnancies love a massage. When facing illness, those affected do too. To be frank, self-care is often the first casualty of any crisis. When people are incurring unexpected costs at an alarming rate, the first thing to go are the "luxuries." However, those who face highly stressful situations with long/uncertain outcome are precisely those who should practice aggressive self-care. They won't do it for themselves. You do it for them. Pamper them. Let them know you want them to take a break and that their well-being is a priority.
What to Express in Your Card: I hope you don't mind my sending you this gift certificate. There is no one I know more in need of a massage/facial/yoga class. I know you won't do it for yourself - so I wanted to do it for you. I am sending you love.

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest quality arabica coffee in the world. Today, with stores around the globe, the company is the premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world.
Why We Love This Gift: Because it is coffee. We love this gift for that reason, but also because coffee (and tea) can facilitate conversation. People stop and talk over coffee and tea. Barista-made cups of coffee or steaming cups of hot tea are among life's "little" indulgences - the kind of thing that lifts people up. They are also among the first things people slash from tight budgets. Help them put it back. This gift is suitable for anyone to whom you want to express concern, consideration, or love. Also, here is a hot tip: teenagers love Starbucks. It is a great gift for a teenager.
What to Express in Your Card: I was just thinking about you as you grapple with recent events. I hope you will take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee - I know you are a latte fan. Maybe we can even meet for a cup? I'd love to know how you are doing and what I can do to be helpful. I send you lots of love.

The Bouqs: Sympathy Flowers

The Bouqs

Give InKind is pleased to feature With You Lockets this holiday season. Give InKind staff was drawn to the With You line because the seed of the company's very founding grew from love.  Since its inception, With You has evolved into a unique, diverse, and high-quality line of heirloom jewelry. With You combines artistry with quality - even still being mindful of different budgets. With You designers drew their original inspiration from vintage lockets - and then added a dash of the modern. The result is a collection of lockets that capture all the fine details and workmanship of a family heirloom in contemporary shapes and sizes.
The <a href="https://withyoulockets.com/shop-all/">With You line</a> is comprised of necklaces, bracelets (that can be converted to anklets for a wedding day), cufflinks, and a cocktail ring - all with a place to insert a special photo, quote or note.
We are especially excited to introduce a line of lockets designed by the extraordinary children who receive invaluable services at the Astor Services for Children and Families. The proceeds of the sales of the lockets from this collection are being donated to continue and improve the programs offered there
With You pieces are made of the finest sterling silver, with a mix of semi-precious and precious stones. Like the people they honor, they are something to be cherished.
Mikki Glass, Founder of With You began the company after the death of her father. As Mikki reflected on his death and navigated her grief, she was continually struck by the moments he would miss. Three years after he died, Mikki's sister was engaged to be married and Mikki set out to find a way to have their father included in the ceremony. In this spirit, Mikki created an anklet with a locket and tucked his photos inside so he too could walk down the aisle with his daughter.
Mikki then wore the anklet on her own wedding day and soon began making them for friends and family. And with this, With You was born.
Says Mikki: "My lockets are filled now with not only my father but my husband, my daughter, my friends - even my dogs and cats. Those I hold dear to my heart and who remind me daily how very lucky we all are to be surrounded by unconditional love."
Mikki's husband, Troy Haley, is the company's CEO, following 24 years of service in the U.S. military, where he specialized in Operations and Training Management. Troy has led With You to partnerships with more than 150 retailers, Amazon, HSN and more.
Why We Love This Product: We love With You lockets because the line is accessible, beautiful, custom, and grew from love. All of these qualities are reflected in each piece - but there is something radiant about the last of these. Love. All the employees of With You treat each request with the greatest respect and seek to provide customers with a uniformly outstanding experience. Customers select one of many beautiful pieces, supply a photo and receive their custom locket containing the picture. This is a beautiful way to remember and to celebrate in equal measure. These pieces make wonderful remembrance jewelry - but they are equally perfect for all milestones based in love - such as graduations, births, and more.
What to Express in Your Card: I celebrate the love this piece evokes.

Crisp Meals

Customizable based upon the needs and situations of your recipients boxes can contain inspirational reminders of love and support, candles, journals, self-care items and much more. This unique collection of sympathy gifts nourishes a mother's heart after the unfathomable pain of child loss.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it is extremely hard to talk about child loss. Bereaved parents report being avoided in grocery stores and know that their anguish can make people uncomfortable. Gifts that open doors to discussion and understanding enable human connection and love. So that's why we love it. No one can right the wrong of child loss - but support matters so much in the long walk towards complex peace. Walk with her.
What To Express in Your Card: I cannot imagine the pain you feel. But I do want not to lose you. I do want to be your friend. I hope you will have me.

Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because things to offer visitors after a loss come in handy. Meals are often delivered for a grieving family. Nevertheless, for those who visit but won't stay it is helpful to the bereaved to have things on hand to offer. Cookies are good for that.
What To Say in Your Card: My condolences. I wanted to send you a little something good to eat or something to offer the throngs of people moving through your house because they love you so much.
