Bereaved friend, Candle gift for a tennis fan, but other recommendations welcome!

[Prangie]

Long story short, recently bereaved friend’s son loved tennis. Avid player. It’s not seasonal, but I want to giver her something on his birthday about him. ‘Teenage boy’ isn’t quite right, so I was thinking tennis! I can spend up to £50 if it’s the right smell and lasts.
Tricky to get to shops so recommendations would be great x

I don't understand what you are asking us for. How is tennis related to candles?

Also not really sure what you're asking?

A tennis related candle?

Only thing I can think of is a grass scented one?

Maybe Strawberries & Cream scent, representing Wimbledon?

I think Wimbledon does actually have an online gift store, so it might be worth looking on there to see if there is any inspiration.

Do you feel comfortable sharing her son's first name? There might something flower or tree related someone could suggest?

Sorry, I wrote the op very badly!

I want a scent that reminds her of him, and yes I’ve seen Wimbledon do a grass scented candle but don’t know if it’s any good, or if you’re paying for the name.

I did see one by another company, the candle was called Matchpoint which sounded good but it’s a US company would cost more - which is ok if worth it, but could be a waste!

His birthday is the start of Nov. The apparent flower for Nov is clementine but that didn’t produce anything that really grabbed me.

This is why I was wondering if anyone had suitable recommendations.

Apols again for shoddy writing, and thanks for replies so far!

It's thoughtful - I think, but as someone who is recently bereaved I'm not sure I would like this. Not quite the same but I still collapse in hysterical tears when I'm sorting their possessions or if I smell their aftershave. Of course that doesn't mean we're all the same, but olfactory memory is a very intense thing and grief is hard enough at the best of times.

I would stick to some personal words about him in a lovely card. She will almost certainly be struggling on his birthday and I'm sure will appreciate the date being remembered and him being remembered. Perhaps a donation to a tennis related charity in his name? I know there are a few - the LTA have one, Wimbledon do, bright ideas for tennis etc.

It's not tennis themed but someone sent me this when I was having a tough time. They do beautiful candles and you can make your own gift set

I lost Mum in May and have a lot of real memories and, almost daily, think of them and it brings me to tears. I don't need any "new memories" being manufactured if you know what I mean. Sometimes "things" aren't really needed. Support is and it's really lovely you care so deeply for her loss.

I'd just like contact on the day so I know that in my (very likely) misery there are others thinking of me. If I received anything, maybe a pocket hug?

@dontgobaconmyheart and @Kezzie200 thank you, but it's a small part of a couple of things. I know everyone deals with these things differently, and I know her well enough to know what will work and what won't - I don't want to say too much in case it becomes identifiable, but thanks again for sharing another view.

@PeloFondo I'll check out that link too, thanks!
