When someone you care about is going through a tough time, you likely want to do something to help them, and that can feel impossible when they are dealing with grief. Even though you can’t bring a person back or make the sadness go away, you can make someone you care about feel better for just a little while with a sentimental gift. We have listed out gifts that can keep a lost loved one in someone’s memories and gifts that give comfort in other ways. Whichever direction you choose to go, any gift on this list is bound to be really appreciated!
1. GiftYa Gift Card

If someone is going through a period of grief, something that makes a soothing sound can be a good help, like a wind chime. Wind chimes make light and soothing noises when there is a light breeze, and it can feel like a therapeutic sound. They are a great addition to any outdoor space.
This sympathy wind chime from Amazon will help honor the memory of a loved one. Each part of it is hand tuned so that it gives off a sound that is powerful, deep, and relaxing.
Paw Prints personalized wind chime can help out someone who is grieving a pet. You can have a photo of a pet along with their years of life inserted above the wind chimes so they can get a look at them whenever they sit back and enjoy the sound.
This ‘listen’ wind chime is handmade, thoughtful, and sturdy. You can also include a message and a name on it that reminds them of the person they are grieving.
3. Spa Gift Set
A basket of products made for self care.

A spa gift set can help a grieving person take care of themselves. When people are grieving, they often neglect themselves because of how badly they feel, but a spa gift set can guide them back towards normal self care rituals. Another great part about a spa gift set is that it can provide some much needed aromatherapy.
This Island Spa gift basket is sure to invigorate anyone’s senses. It comes with body lotion, body scrub, body wash, an eye mask, bath sponge, and more, and it all smells like a tropical getaway.
Or consider sending this relaxing coconut spa set from Harry & David that smells like a relaxing beach.

The smell of coconuts in the air can relax anyone.
4. Food Gift Basket

Outside of aromatherapy, something that is comforting to most people is food. Whether it is savory foods or sweet treats, food can give people some joy and comfort throughout a rough day. Good food can make you feel as if your problems have temporarily gone away. You get to enjoy it in the moment and get back to dealing with your feelings later.
This chicken noodle soup care package will help share your condolences in a practical way. Someone who is going through a tough time grieving could use some help feeding themselves. This package comes with soups, rolls, and a personal note from you!

![Sentimental Flowers](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/65bb0d838b57c5aa2c4a2b9d/664d75316bed1b6aef0f5f43_dSCHhaMMD6YdkcO9l0GFHcQ22h1EL1dMPLafXIyFlCn4lhVcpl4XMkth0ykDRqE0mRgvcuGdLGT2lCmrUHxUcjbRpbNcpp-3eysjDKRWd-D9rHhT3cgf3NRzsQKCEJqWdTGNOHEWFWmMMJj3cOmxIgU.jpeg)
One of the most beautiful gifts you can give to send your condolences are flowers. You can send a single pretty flower or a bouquet with a message, and it will all make a big impact.

Some plants can even last for years to come and always serve as a symbol of the person your loved one is grieving.

These blue and white flowers will liven up any room and keep someone’s loved ones in their heart. You can get them in small, medium, or large, and in a glass jar. They will bloom within days of arriving and catch everyone’s attention.
7. A Cozy Blanket
A blanket that can make them feel warm.
![A Cozy Blanket](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/65bb0d838b57c5aa2c4a2b9d/664d7531b7e82ee5a2dcc9fe_od2N0ig7sW3sp7p31dt_e8vZE04eRx42NDvkrsOtQcLTYTuffGUFJIC9sQ5ojn8wtdeZ2E2AKGfQwGH-6-5uhjNNGAaHq3P67WQsv5pIton8BWJbstcmd4Pl__psh41HIHHa2cwtc9SUnSWf5coklJg.jpeg)
Giving someone a blanket is a good way to show your condolences. Someone who is grieving will likely spend a lot of their time laying down and getting rest. They may not feel so well a lot of the time, and that is what makes a blanket such a great gift for them. It will be there to cuddle them and make them feel warm and cozy even if no one else is there.
This cozy comfort throw from Spoonful of Comfort is made of super soft polyester, and is just what someone needs to feel cozy while they lie down for extended periods of time. Whenever your loved one needs a hug, they can grab one from this blanket.
A love and prayer blanket will make a person feel like they are wrapping themselves in happiness and love! It is the perfect size for snuggling up anywhere and will help bring a grieving person some peace.
8. Healing Candle
A candle that brings back memories.

One of the best ways to deal with bad emotions is through aromatherapy, and you can make sure your loved one gets some with a meaningful scented candle. A scented candle can help calm a grieving person in stressful times and bring them some peace. A scented candle can change the atmosphere in a room, and sometimes a change in atmosphere is really needed in times of grief.
This custom memorial candle will come with a loved one’s name on it, so they can come to mind every time someone lights the candle. The botanical fragrance filled with juniper, cypress, cedarwood, patchouli, and mint is one that will be associated with the lost loved one for a while. This candle is all natural and will take someone into nature.
Another option is this healing soy candle that was made for people who are going through grief. It is filled with a blend of herbs and essential oils that make it therapeutic on top of smelling great!
9. Memorial Candle Lantern
A memory etched on a lantern.

Sometimes, to commemorate a lost loved one, you need a symbol that is beautiful and memorable, and that symbol can be a lantern.

This memorial candle lantern from Etsy will help someone remember their loved one for years to come. You can write a name and a customized phrase or statement on the glass, and turn the light on and off at any time. It is made to be used indoors and can make a great living room display.
