What should I give my best friend after her grandmother's death?

My Boomer Tips

My best friend's grandmother recently passed. Our other friend and myself want to go in on some kind of nice, small gift for her, or the family. The thing is we're only 20 and the normal gifts for these situations (flowers, garden stones, sentimental picture frames) are neither her taste or really express how sorry we are for her. Any suggestions?

    I think that a nice card and your friend knowing that your there for her would be enough. Maybe the three of you could even go out for a nice quiet meal together and just sit and chat.

    A garden stone with a pretty saying on it would be ok. She would think of her grand mom when she saw it.

    Maybe just spend some quality time with your friend, go out for lunch or something as a distraction. What about a card and flowers for the family? Any effort of kindness will be appreciated.

    Sometimes just a few minutes or days of helping the grieving family through their hard time is enough to say your sorry for what happened. You could make them a dinner, or throw a small private party to celebrate your friend’s grandmother’s life in more detail. I’m only thirteen.. so I don’t exactly know what else to say, but that’s what I would do.

    A fresh fruit basket or one of those edible fruit arrangements. Or something she likes, a selection of cheeses or chocolates for example. Or maybe a nice bath/bubble soak along with a candle and nice relaxation cd? That’s a more personal gift item that could really help her take her mind of things and something she could enjoy? Or how about a gift certificate for a lunch/dinner or a salon service for the future whenever she wants to make time for herself?
