Miscarriage gift ideas

My best friend has just had a miscarriage. I’d like to send her and her partner a gift to let them know that my husband and I are sorry and we are thinking of them (we don’t live in the same country). Can anyone think of anything? Thanks x

Our friends got us flowers and a card. I honestly wouldn’t get anything that’s a reminder of a baby etc as some people don’t want reminded of it like myself I just wanted to move on. Flowers, chocolates, card etc x

I think this is a difficult one as not everyone wants the same things as above said she just wanted to move on but i was the opposite and i wanted any and every excuse to talk about my son as much as possible to anyone who will listen so the gifts were very much welcomed, the safe options are a sympathy card and flowers maybe even some kind of ornament that she could display she could always pack it away in a memory box if its too hurtful to display Talking to her should give you a rough idea of what would be appropriate x

One of my old friends sent me flowers with a card but in all honesty I wish I never got anything as I didn’t want to be reminded that I lost my baby x

My friend sent me my favourite postal brownies for both my losses. I’d recommend something like this, ideally not a card.

Flowers or food for sure, something comforting but not long lasting. I wouldn’t want a keepsake of the event, remembering is hard enough. Agree no card, it’s another reminder imo but you know your friend xx

Food, chocolate, anything self care x

My friend brought me food and a small basket with a bear, some wild picked flowers, and a poem. My daughter loves the bear and I put the poem in our family picture collection frame. I loved this as it made the pregnancy real to me. My aunt sent me a pride and prejudice shirt and socks. I loved this because she was thinking about me and wanted to send something but didn't want it to remind me of the loss. Both kind and thoughtful gifts that helped in different ways. As stated above talk with your friend and you should get a feel for where she is at.
