Send to bereaved?

I'm trying to think of something I can send to my auntie who lost my uncle a few months ago. She's obviously going through an awful time and we don't live close. What can I send her, some sort of special gift to show I'm thinking of her?

Do you have a nice photo of her and your uncle that she may not have seen for a while? Put it in a lovely frame and send it to her?

always Flowers

esp now we're getting into spring - daffodils and narcissi are both gorgeous (and narcissi smell so wonderful).

My aunt absolutely loves daffodils, they're her favourite flower and when she had a fall and broke a limb a year or two ago, daffs were what I sent her. Through Waitrose, I think.

I’d avoid flowers. Everybody sends flowers to someone bereaved and it can feel overwhelming - I say that as someone who loves flowers.

The most comforting things I received were the cards/letters in which people had shared their fond memories of the deceased.
