Return to article: How to Create a Gift Basket for Someone Who Is Mourning
on 11/22/2005 Include items that quickly run out when a sudden group assembles. Kleenex (the small purse packs are even better), toilet tissue (that really is appreciated!), paper napkins or paper towels, mints (Tic-Tacs are great because people can have them in their mouth without a cheek full) and chewing gum are welcome. Pop, juice and bite size snacks are good. Homemade cookies, Chex mix, mini candy bars or candy kisses are good items, especially if kids are around, and nibble foods that are good for you. Maybe a relish tray, so they eat something healthy to keep them going during their stressful period. Usually I give things that aren't quickly perishable and need refrigeration, as they probably have tons of that already. If they don't need it or don't use it immediately, it will keep and be welcome to use later.
