Unwind Body Care Gift Set

<h3 class="h4">WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF</h3>
Once upon a time, a young artist had a magical pillowcase that was a window into a world of castles, unicorns, princesses, and knights. But this world was completely black and white, with no joyful colors to be found. So the artist, equipped with 10 markers, gave the unicorn green fur, the castle pink stone, and every other creature and object a brilliant hue of its own. And on the other side of the pillowcase, the artist wrote down wondrous stories of this fantasy land. Then, one day, it was washed and all the color faded away. But that didn't bother the artist--quite the opposite, in fact. For the artist knew they could color in the world again and again. The artist uncapped a marker and got to work...and lived happily ever after. Made in Turkey.

Color Your Own Fairytale Storybook Pillowcase

Propel your child's passion to another dimension with these 3-D art kits. Using six double-sided markers (one tip for precision and one for painting), budding illustrators liven up an animal-filled forest or the portraits of some not-so-scary monsters with a brilliant palette of hues. Young artists then break the fourth wall by slipping on the set's 3-D glasses and bringing their fantastical color-by-numbers masterpieces to life. Made in China.

Like magic, the ink sets after a quick iron or 24 hours in UV light. Then your little one is left with a cheerful truckload of sunny sayings and images to carry them to bed. The hues won't fade with washing, so the good feels never dim. Hand-printed in the UK.

Bearaby's Cotton Napper is a buttery soft, breathable, knitted weighted blanket made from long-staple certified organic cotton - helping you sleep more deeply and wake feeling rested and revitalized.
Ideal for all seasons, weighted blankets have been medically proven to aid naturally deeper sleep cycles. The weight on your body stimulates the production of serotonin (the happy hormone), reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and increases melatonin, which helps you fall (and stay) asleep.
Plus, Bearaby weighted blankets use nothing but layer upon layer of natural, breathable, great-feeling fabric and an open-loop knit design to bring you the best knitted weighted blanket for blissfully deep sleep -- so you'll wake up feeling cool, calm, and collected.
Why We Love This Gift: During times of grief or anxiety, a weighted blanket can provide a biological cue to relax. The feeling of a weighted blanket "hug" signals to the brain that it's time to quiet our thoughts and slide into sleep. We love this gift because it can provide soothing comfort to those who feel alone or distressed - especially during times when you are unable to be by the side of a grieving loved one.
What To Express In Your Card: I want to give you a hug so badly. In the meantime, I hope this blanket offers some comfort. I love you.

Founded in 1996 by former University of Maryland football player Kevin Plank, Under Armour&reg; is the originator of performance apparel--gear engineered to keep athletes cool, dry, and light as they power through a game, practice, or workout.
From their beginning to today, Under Armour's mission has remained the same: make all athletes better through passion, design, and the relentless pursuit of innovation.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because sports are an excellent way for children (or adults) to blow off steam while grieving, especially during stressful times. Sports commitments, gear, tournament fees - all of it - can be an enormous resource suck for families. Almost magically, children seem to grow out of their sports clothing. This gift provides a family struggling financially with the means to facilitate positive coping mechanisms for the little ones.
What To Express In Your Card: Sports are so great for your children during this time. They may enjoy picking out something new for their sporting needs. I hope this helps.

Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because sports are an excellent way for children (or adults) to blow off steam while grieving, especially during stressful times.

Organizing solutions. Explore new methods to organize any room. Customize your space.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because families need space and ways to organize things. For a family who is downsizing, folks who are moving - and lots more - the ability to get (and stay) organized is a day that entropy does not win. This is a great gift for someone who needs to move for professional reasons or to meet new opportunities. This is also a good gift for a aging relative who may wish to consolidate.  It is useful also for new parents because offices turn nicely into nurseries. Bottom line? Storage bins are always useful.
What To Express in Your Card: I'd love to come and help you get down to work. Eager to catch up and sending 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
