In these moments, it really is the thought that counts. When my mom died, people sent food, flowers, books, stuffed animals, other little trinkets, and I appreciated all of it. That's probably not so helpful, so I will say that I forget some of the trinkets but I do remember some of the food. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-ideas-for-cheering-someone-up#post-1974447 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 15:55:47 +0000 Iced Tea 1974447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest the same as Lamariniere. I feel special when I receive treats that aren't generally available. And she will know you spent some time collecting them for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-ideas-for-cheering-someone-up#post-1974222 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 10:07:53 +0000 lamariniere 1974222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a selection of treats from where you live? I know international shipping is expensive, but I think it would be so cool to receive a hand selected gift in this case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-ideas-for-cheering-someone-up#post-1974210 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 09:51:46 +0000 lady grey 1974210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I would do some kind of self care thing, like gift card for a mani/pedi or massage. And maybe also movie tickets or tickets for something fun she can do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-ideas-for-cheering-someone-up#post-1974171 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 09:05:31 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1974171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Little Misters Mom: Great ideas, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-ideas-for-cheering-someone-up#post-1974131 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 08:11:48 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1974131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you can't go wrong with a nice flower delivery just to say you are thinking of them. And anything that lets the grieving person know you remember their loved one too is nice. I sent flowers to my grandpa on my grandmother's birthday to put on her grave, and he was so touched because to him it felt like the rest of the world was just moving on and no one else was missing her daily like he was (because everyone was afraid to bring her up to him). Frame a picture of them together? Send a funny book or little piece of jewellery, and say "this made me think of X." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-ideas-for-cheering-someone-up#post-1974071 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 04:28:08 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1974071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone I know is grieving the loss of a loved one and need cheering up. It's been a few months, but she's still very depressed. I live abroad so I can't be there physically, but I was hoping to hear some gift ideas for inspiration.</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
