Sympathy and Condolences Gifts - What to Give?

Sympathy and Condolence Gifts

A co-worker or friend has just lost someone in their family.  What do you send?  Flowers? Sure that makes the logical choice.  Then YOU have a death in your family and you look around the funeral home and think, what are we going to do with ALL these dying flowers?  A couple are nice of course and you think maybe you can take some home, but you already have a bunch at home as well.

Some families ask for a donation instead of flowers and that is certainly an option. But have you considered sending a basket of comfort food instead of flowers for your condolence wishes?  

A nice basket with crackers, cheese, spreads, fruit and nuts can be shared with family and friends or opened at a later time when things calm down a bit.  Or send a breakfast tray with an assortment of jams, crackers, melba toast, cheese and fruits.  None perishable items will allow them to open when they want without any added pressure that it will spoil.

A sympathy gift basket is a welcome gesture that they will appreciate and thank you for later.

Chinese New Year Gifts and Baskets across Canada

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality. For example, those born in the year of the horse years are cheerful, skillful with money, perceptive, witty, talented and good with their hands. 

It is a colourful and festive occasion for many people. It can last for many days and often includes festivities such as street parades with dancing, traditional Chinese costumes, fireworks food stalls, and arts and crafts.

Many Chinese Canadian families spend time together giving gifts, particularly red envelopes with money that are normally given to children.

Send a unique and special gift to family and friends and wish them health and prosperity this Chinese New Year. http://www.giftsforeveryreason.com/Chinese-New-Year_c_67.html
