Condelence Gift Ideas Needed

Our realtor is an amazing realtor but also a great friend.  She has been great trying to guide us through our current real estate situation.  On Friday, her mother passed away.  Despite her many trips up to WV and now preparing for her memorial service, she has been great at keeping up on all of our developments.  She's coming over to our house tonight to do some paperwork and I would like to give her something but don't know what.  Any ideas??

Random tidbit in case it matters:  She's an older lady (early 60's), but definitely acts like she's 30.

  • I like to give a plant as a condolence gift. That way it serves as a memorial for the person. Peace lilies are the traditional gift but any plant will work, especially one that blooms.

    I was also going to suggest a peace lily. Or if you know of a cause that is important to her or her mother you could make a donation. You could also give her a gift card for a meal or put together a fruit basket with some wine and cheese and comfort foods.

  • I was going to suggest the same as the others--either a donation to a particular cause (Did the mom die of an illness or natural causes?) or the idea of the plant or the meal/food gift basket.
  • I was thinking of cooking a meal for her, but she's heading back up to WV on Wednesday for the memorial service so I wasn't sure if it would be helpful.  And I was worried about her not being around to water a plant.

    Although mrsN's suggestion about a fruit basket, made me think of maybe making a basket of snacks for her drive and up and back to WV.  What do you think?

  • That could be good Elissa. Or maybe even a gift card for gas to help out with the trip?
