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.
Why We Love This Gift: For a situation as deeply personal as facing illness, knowing what to gift can be hard. Still, looking for something "to do" can be important for the giver and the receiver, both. We love gifts that enable dialogue. This one certainly does that.
What To Express in Your Card: I am thinking of you so much. What else can I do for you? I am awaiting a task and I am thinking of you.

Via Apple: If the computer were invented today, what would it look like? It would be powerful enough for any task. So mobile you could take it everywhere. And so intuitive you could use it any way you wanted -- with touch, a keyboard, or even a pencil. In other words, it wouldn't really be a "computer." It would be iPad.
Starting at $329
Why We Love This Gift: Whether it's for a grandparent that could use help keeping in touch, a sick kid stuck in the hospital or a mom that has found herself on bedrest, an iPad makes a perfect gift for staying connected or beating boredom.
What To Express in Your Card: I am thinking of you and I thought that this might come in handy.

GiftTree offers a wide range of sympathy baskets. Owing to their wide selection, GiftTree is able to ensure that customers can find a bereavement basket that speaks to their individual situation.
GiftTree understands that the emptiness left behind by the loss of a loved one is the ultimate hardship. However, it is during the most trying and difficult times of our lives that a kind gesture is most deeply appreciated. The items in their baskets will bring sustenance to anyone is who experiencing loss.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it addresses the issue of grief hunger. Grief hunger is a thing - some Give InKind editors agree that grief is exhausting. It is also, weirdly, episodically hungry-making. Plus there are the people stopping by. Snacks are always welcome in the home of the bereaved. A great alternative to flowers for those who have passed on receiving flowers.
What To Express in Your Card: I am thinking of you and sending you condolences.

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.

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
