Sympathy gift for a dear friend

[MomtoNico]

My friends mom passed away. I was thinking about getting her a nice bracelet with an inscription. Any suggestions. Or other suggestions? Thanks

I gave my friend a gift certificate to a local nursery to purchase a rose bush... roses has special meaning for my friend and I thought she would like to have a living plant as a memory.

When my friend's dad died unexpectedly long ago, I sent her a framed photo of him that I'd taken at a wedding. I think a bracelet or a plant are nice ideas too.

I ordered my mom a moibus bracelet from this site when her close friend passed away. She really liked it.

When my father died I didn't want anything really. I most appreciated the letters that told a story about him. If they were close the bracelet sounds nice although it was too upset to appreciate anything like that.

I have a friend who received a bracelet with the loved one's signature. She received it a good while after the death so it wasn't as raw a wound, but she treasures it and wears it daily.

This is pretty much where I was when my mom died. A few friends got together & sent a gift card to a local nursery about a month after she passed, w which I used for a couple of hydrangeas and a set of wind chimes, since my mom loved wind chimes. But I wouldn't have wanted jewelry, other than a piece of HERS.

I also love the idea of a plant that could either be at their home or the gravesite some cemeteries allow that. I lost my mom many years ago, but I wouldn't want a "memorial" type of jewelry, if you know she'd like that it would be fine, but not everyone is comfortable with that type of gift and it could sit on a drawer. Also, don't feel like you have to do something immediately, she is probably still raw with emotions.

Wow I appreciate all the feedback. I do not think I will get her a piece of jewelry. I agree - with everyone that I don’t think she would really want jewelry. I guess I never really thought of it! Glad I asked. I will wait. Thanks everyone. I am glad I asked!
