That was a really nice thought. </p> <p>If they're local, I really suggest just inviting them out. The best thing for me was getting a pedicure with my BFF. It got me off the couch, and it was nice to have pretty toes when I had to go back for follow up ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488940 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:51:56 +0000 Happygal 1488940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>William's Sonoma has awesome food treats. Their sticky rolls look really good and I imagine would make your whole house smell nice and comforting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488929 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:48:18 +0000 SweetiePie 1488929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I miscarried last summer my friend just sent me some flowers. It was simple but so unexpected so it really touched me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488870 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:29:28 +0000 chopsuey 1488870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: when my friend m/c I took food over to her house. </p> <p>when my friend who lives in another state m/c I had no idea what to do for her. :( I ended up sending her an amazon giftcard because I knew there were some things she had on her wishlist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488852 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:23:39 +0000 Rubies 1488852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I filled a bag with a scarf, cute socks, a new lipgloss, some chocolate, and hand lotion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488844 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:21:23 +0000 MrsTiz 1488844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After I had mine, AutumnLove (are you ALove now? I can't remember!) asked for my address, I thought she was going to send a card but she sent me the absolute most delicious cookies I have ever had. I wish I remembered the company she used, because it sure brightened my day..and who doesn't love cookies?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488781 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:59:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1488781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thank you for the suggestions! i am going to send her some chocolates and something funny. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488733 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:42:16 +0000 Ash 1488733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know most people don't recommend plants/flowers because they die.<br /> Maybe dinner or a coffee basket. Bath stuff? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488728 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:41:10 +0000 Littlebit 1488728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe something to pamper herself? A starbucks gift card or a gift certificate for a pedicure? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488720 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:39:36 +0000 lioneyes 1488720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i brought dinner over to a friend that miscarried, i knew she wouldn't feel like cooking for her husband and kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488669 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:27:15 +0000 abbylyn 1488669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent flowers when a friend miscarried last spring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488618 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:15:09 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1488618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened recently to me (a friend miscarried, not me) and we sent her a plant with another couple. The six of us are extremely close, so we wanted to send something "from all of us" but not make it uncomfortable for her.<br /> I also put together a small basket with a card, blanket, fuzzy socks, candle, and some food/candy I know she likes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488615 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:13:58 +0000 hummusgirl 1488615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent my friend a ridiculously large box of her favorite candy (Kit Kats, I think it was a 36-pack off Amazon) and a copy of the Hyperbole and a Half book. Both were a big hit and helped lighten things up because she wasn't in the mood to wallow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-that-miscarried#post-1488604 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:09:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1488604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A good friend of mine recently suffered a miscarriage, and I'd love to send something to her to brighten her day a little bit. I should know the answer to this since I had two miscarriages myself, but please share your ideas and what might be nice to give her? </p>
