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?
-
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.

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.
I also put together a small basket with a card, blanket, fuzzy socks, candle, and some food/candy I know she likes. -
I sent flowers when a friend miscarried last spring.
-
i brought dinner over to a friend that miscarried, i knew she wouldn't feel like cooking for her husband and kid.
-
Maybe something to pamper herself? A starbucks gift card or a gift certificate for a pedicure?
-
I know most people don't recommend plants/flowers because they die.
Maybe dinner or a coffee basket. Bath stuff? -
thank you for the suggestions! i am going to send her some chocolates and something funny.

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?!

I filled a bag with a scarf, cute socks, a new lipgloss, some chocolate, and hand lotion.

@Mrs. Bee: when my friend m/c I took food over to her house.
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.

When I miscarried last summer my friend just sent me some flowers. It was simple but so unexpected so it really touched me.

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.

My SIL sent a box of movie type treats (microwave popcorn, m&ms, skittles, etc). That was a really nice thought.
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.
