Give the gift of take-out. Seriously, the perfect gift for any situation.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it is take-out and everyone loves take-out. It gives your recipient the flexibility to order exactly what they want, when they want it. Pregnancy cravings are no joke. Neither is the stress level of a single parent on a school night. Young professionals who get sick often hate the loss of their own agency. The capacity to choose one's own dinner is not to be underestimated. Nothing says I love you like Pad Thai.
What To Express in Your Card: I wanted you to be able to choose your own meal. I am thinking of you!

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

Based on Dr. van der Kolk's own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal--and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.
Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world's foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors.
In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers' capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments--from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga--that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity.
Why We Love This Gift: This book reminds us of a very important fact - we are not alone. More importantly, there is a path to healing available to you, or your loved ones, with a background of trauma.
What To Express In Your Card: You are not alone in this. So many others have experienced what you are going through. I hope this book reminds you that there is always hope. Use your strength and the wisdom of this book - I believe in you!

The beautiful practicality of her teaching has made Pema Chödrön one of the most beloved of contemporary American spiritual authors among Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. A collection of talks she gave between 1987 and 1994, the book is a treasury of wisdom for going on living when we are overcome by pain and difficulties.
Much like Zen, Chödrön's interpretation of Tibetan Buddhism takes the form of a non-theistic spiritualism. In When Things Fall Apart, this head of a Tibetan monastery in Canada outlines some relevant and deceptively profound terms of Tibetan Buddhism that are germane to modern issues.
By letting go, we free ourselves to face fear and obstacles and offer ourselves unflinchingly to others. The graceful, conversational tone of Chödrön's writing gives the impression of sitting on a pillow across from her, listening to her everyday examples of Buddhist wisdom.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because we have discovered that in times of crisis, we are sometimes open to concepts we would have struggled to embrace prior to crisis. This book beautifully expresses that finding truth and beauty within the darkest times is possible. (Even if we'd give it all back to return to the pace where our lost loved one is, or the place we were happy). Making sense of struggle and loss is a universal struggle. This book reminds us of this, showing us we are not alone.
What To Express in Your Card: I struggled to find something that would help you. Something that would match the level of pain you are in and then salve it. Of course I couldn't do that, but I hoped that Chödrön could succeed where I know I will fail. Please accept this book along with my love.

When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

In It's OK That You're Not OK, Megan Devine offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face - in our personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world. This is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves―and each other―better.
In this compelling and heartfelt book, you'll learn:
• Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief 
• How challenging the myths of grief―doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold―allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve 
• Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to "fix" your pain 
• How to help the people you love―with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process.
Why We Love This Gift: Megan offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we try to help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides―as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner―Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, "happy" life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it.
What To Express in Your Card: I hope this book reminds you that what you are feeling right now is normal and healthy- no matter how terrible or overwhelming. Please remind yourself of your strength. Sending you so much love.

It's Ok That You're Not Ok

Understanding Your Grief: Ten Essential Touchstones for Finding Hope and Healing Your Heart

In this New York Times-bestselling collection of poems, A Thousand Mornings, the late great Mary Oliver returns to the imagery that has come to define her life's work, transporting us to the marshland and coastline of her beloved home, Provincetown, Massachusetts. Whether studying the leaves of a tree or mourning her treasured dog Percy, Oliver is open to the teachings contained in the smallest of moments and explores with startling clarity, humor, and kindness the mysteries of our daily experience.
Why We Love This Gift: Mary Oliver offers solace as she considers human experiences alongside or within nature. In embracing the immensity of beauty and pain, the reader is moved to better understand both the sweetness and sadness of life.
What To Express In Your Card: I hope you find comfort and perspective in these poems. I feels that words sometimes fail - although I think Oliver's often succeed. I just want to say I am thinking of you near constantly. I am sending you so much love.
