Gift Cards

A gift card or eGift card can be ideal for a wide range of occasions. However, some people worry that a gift card will come across as somewhat impersonal. Regardless of whether this concern is justified, including the right gift card message along with the card itself is often a simple but effective way to make the gift take on a personal quality.

1. "So sorry. This is for you to relax when you’re ready."

Include this gift card message with a card for a relaxing activity you think the recipient will enjoy when they’re no longer in mourning.

2. "Let’s go out together when you’re ready."

Some are reluctant to accept offers of support after losing someone. Make it easier to accept your offer with a gift card for an activity you and the recipient can enjoy together.

3. "Show the kids the best holiday season you can under the circumstances."

The first holiday without a loved one is hard, especially for kids. Offering a gift card to one of their favorite places can help.
