Gift ideas

I am more of a lurker than a poster.  However, I wanted to see if anyone has some good ideas for a family that just suffered a tragedy.  Two teen age girls just lost their sister who was 20 years old.  I want something that is thoughtful, comforting, and just to show I care.  I normally buy them presents, but want an extra touch of love to be present this year.  Hope this makes sense, and let me know if you have any great ideas.  Even though the pain will still be there, it may help ease it a bit.  It may be something to buy their mom too (who is my sister).  Thanks for your help :)

Re: Gift ideas

  • Maybe an ornament in remembrance of their sister? My younger brother just lost his best friend. We called him "Hippie Jake" so I'm getting him and ornament that has a tie-dye peace sign on the front and a little message about him on the back.
  • Maybe a photo album or photo book from somewhere like Shutterfly of pictures with their sister and their mom or a wall collage to put up on the wall? You could also do a donation to her favorite charity maybe? I'm not quite sure if this helps at all, but maybe it'll give you some ideas.

  • How about a necklace with a charm that reminds them of their sister? Maybe her favorite hobby, her initial or a quote/saying that she liked?
