When to send it
There is no wrong time. Many people send in the first days; a gift that arrives a few weeks later, when the calls have stopped, is often the one remembered.

The occasion
A quiet way to say you are there
When words are hard, a gift can say you are thinking of them. Choose a gentle direction, then write a short, sincere message; nothing about their loss is assumed or printed unless you write it.
What to say
Say that you are sorry, that you are thinking of them, and one thing you will remember. Short is fine; the card assistant can help you find the words.
Who it suits
A grieving friend, a family, a colleague — choose the direction that fits them; comforting food and tea are the most common choices.
Sending to a family home
Add the recipient's name and any note for the household in the delivery step so the gift reaches the right person.
