Give the gift of take-out. Seriously, the perfect gift for any situation.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it is take-out and everyone loves take-out. It gives your recipient the flexibility to order exactly what they want, when they want it. Pregnancy cravings are no joke. Neither is the stress level of a single parent on a school night. Young professionals who get sick often hate the loss of their own agency. The capacity to choose one's own dinner is not to be underestimated. Nothing says I love you like Pad Thai.
What To Express in Your Card: I wanted you to be able to choose your own meal. I am thinking of you!

Grubhub - Grubhub Gift Card

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

Grief Coach: Personalized Grief Support via SMS

Grief Coach

In It's OK That You're Not OK, Megan Devine offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face - in our personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world. This is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves―and each other―better.
In this compelling and heartfelt book, you'll learn:
• Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief 
• How challenging the myths of grief―doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold―allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve 
• Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to "fix" your pain 
• How to help the people you love―with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process.
Why We Love This Gift: Megan offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we try to help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides―as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner―Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, "happy" life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it.
What To Express in Your Card: I hope this book reminds you that what you are feeling right now is normal and healthy- no matter how terrible or overwhelming. Please remind yourself of your strength. Sending you so much love.

It's Ok That You're Not Ok

Whether it's a beautiful birthstone necklace, a ring created from a loved one's fingerprint, handwriting or ashes, or another piece of jewelry, you're sure to find the perfect piece to send on Amazon. Browse their selection of Memorial Jewelry now.
Why We Love These Gifts: Memorial jewelry is completely singular. Those who are called to make it are likely to understand the importance of each piece as it is likely they were inspired to create because of a loss they experienced. (This is not always the case, but certainly often). Memorial jewelry is a way to keep someone close. Pieces can represent using all kinds of materials from ashes, to photos to other kinds of renderings. But the recipient is reminded that her or his loss is understood by the giver. And that is truly a gift in itself.
What To Express in Your Card: I am heartbroken for you. I wanted to honor your grief. I am thinking of you and I am holding you close.
