Not sure what to send?
Any of these boxes is a gentle, appropriate choice. The For Her and For Him groupings are just a starting point, not a rule. For simple warmth, the Tea and Comfort or Coffee and Solace box is an easy place to begin. If they have been carrying a heavy stretch, the Cozy Nest or Warm Fireside box gives them rest. Whichever you choose, the handwritten note inside matters more than the box around it.

Not sure what to write?
You do not need the perfect line. One honest sentence is enough, and we copy it onto the card by hand. Here are a few you can send as they are, or make your own at checkout.
Short and sincere
Thinking of you and holding your family close.
For a close friend
I am so sorry. I am here, and I am not going anywhere.
When you did not know them well
With deepest sympathy for your loss. I am thinking of you.
Loss of a parent
Losing a parent leaves a space no one can fill. I am so sorry, and I am thinking of you.
When words feel impossible
There are no words for this. I just wanted you to know I am here.
From a group or team
We are all so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts, and we are here whenever you need us.
How it reaches them
We ship directly to the person or family at the address you enter, so you do not have to drop anything off or be there in person. Standard shipping is free and arrives in 1 to 3 days once on its way across Canada. If you are sending for a service or a tight timeline, add Express ($25) at checkout and your order ships first. There is no same-day option, so send as soon as you are able. Your handwritten card is the only message in the box, with no prices and no packing slip inside.
Sympathy gift questions
What is in a sympathy box, and is it appropriate to send?
Each box holds a small set of quiet, comforting things like soft blankets, warm drinks, candles, and gentle self-care items, named on each box so you can see exactly what you are sending. They are chosen to be calm and fitting for someone who is grieving, with nothing loud or celebratory.
Can I send it directly to someone grieving, or to the family home?
Yes. You enter the recipient or family address at checkout and we ship straight to them, which is the usual and kindest way to send a sympathy gift. We recommend the home over a funeral home so it reaches them in their own time.
How long does it take to arrive, and is there anything faster?
Standard shipping is free and arrives in 1 to 3 days once on its way across Canada. If you are sending for a service or a tight window, Express moves you to the front of the line for $25 at checkout. There is no same-day delivery, so send as soon as you can.
What should I write on the card?
One honest line is enough. You write the message at checkout and we copy it onto the card by hand. If you are unsure, there are a few simple, ready-to-use messages on this page you can send as they are or adjust.
Will the recipient see the price?
No. There are no prices and no packing slip inside the box, ever. Your handwritten card is the only note they will find.
