Would like to send gift to friend who has recently miscarried... what could I post?

I would like to let her know that I'm thinking about her and her DH. She is fussy with food so that might not be a good idea.

Is she fussy with all food? Friends of ours sent us a M&S chocolate selection when I had a miscarriage and it was appreciated.

Be careful with instructions for deliveries though. That one came with a delivery card that said "Thinking of you xxx [NAME] and [NAME] but the card was a picture of two champagne glasses clinking. It did make me smile though so it was good but might have been upsetting.

Flowers from bumble and fern or bloom and wild! Xx

A friend of mine miscarried her much longed for baby (sadly on the day we had our 12 week scan and announced our pregnancy) and I sent her and her DH some body products from a range I know she uses. Nice body wash, bath foam, and body lotion. Included a body wash etc from the men’s range for her DH. Also included a nice candle and some chocolate.

Would something like that work for your friend?

A letter. Telling her how much she means to you and that she can talk to you about whatever she wants, whenever she's ready.
Remember her baby and the loss.

Send a gift later on, not now.

Some little treats to pamper herself might be good. I found flowers difficult to look at as they were a reminder of my loss.

Don't send flowers. They'll forever be associated with it in her mind. Write her a letter, as pp mentioned earlier, to tell her how much she means to you and that you're there for her (and DH) anytime.

Give it a couple of days and then phone her because - I know this from experience - she may know you're there for anything but it’s incredibly difficult to pick up the phone and ask for help/shoulder to cry on.

The website [https://www.dontbuyherflowers.com/ don’t buy her flowers]] is perfect for this. You can select ready packages up gift boxes or create your own

I've been having a tough time in pregnancy lately and my friend sent me a 'hug in a box' which was sweets, a candle, a little tube of lotion all with my name on. I was really touched. Not sure where she got it but I'm sure you can find similar via Google
