Our sympathy goes out to family and friends at various occasions in our life. Though some events may seem easier to recognize than others, any moment that you wish to express that your thoughts are with someone is appropriate.  Below are a few acceptable moments when gift baskets can be sent.

• Condolences/Death: Expressing your condolences to a grieving family or friend can really aid in the restoration and healing process.  Knowing that your thoughts, prayers, and support are with them is comforting.
• Loss of a Child or Baby: Perhaps nothing is as difficult as losing a young child or baby.  The loss of a young life cuts deep and cuts wide, leaving many to deal with the pain and heartache. For a tragedy such as this, take care to express your deepest sympathies.
• Illness Diagnosis: Being diagnosed with a fatal or debilitating illness is devastating and can have a crippling effect on the soul.  Showing your support at such a pivotal time in a friend or family member’s life can make all the difference.
• Divorce: The failure of a marriage is a hard thing to endure not only for a couple, but for a family as well.  The wounds of divorce reside especially deep within children.  As a caring friend or family member, help them through this initial process of anguish and grief.
• Get Well Soon: No one likes to be sick, and no one likes to be hurt.  Maybe a friend or family member has been in an accident or maybe someone is just feeling under the weather.  Sending a “Get Well Soon” basket may be just the thing that lifts his or her spirits and leads them to recovery.
• Pet’s Death: Many of us consider our beloved pets as members of the family, so losing a pet can be difficult, especially for young children.  If you know of a family or friend who is dealing with the loss of a pet, send them a special sympathy basket to show your care and support.
