Gift for Friend’s Dad’s Passing

[PinkSparkle9]

A friend of mine lost her dad. He was 90 so he did live a good life (an older father as she’s 41).

I want to get her something but don’t know what. She’s religious and so was he. I was thinking a Willow Tree Angel but they are more than I want to spend. Then I saw wind chimes with sayings but idk if I want to get that. She’s not a big jewelry person or I’d get that with a saying on it. In his obituary, it says you can donate money to a certain place, but I want to give her something meaningful.

I’m only looking on Amazon. Please send me some ideas.

Thanks!

Maybe this angel with a sweet handwritten note?
Or a parent-child figurine?
Cardinals are thought to be a loved one returning for a visit

Do you have a picture of the two of them you could frame? A copy of the Pennies from Heaven poem?

I like the wind chimes idea.

No I don’t have a photo of the two of fhem.

She’s a friend from undergrad but I didn’t know her dad well. Met him a couple times though.

I kinda like the I am always with you cardinal but not sure. Gifts have to speak to me (meaning it has to say “that’s for her,” or I won’t get it).

I feel ya. My shopping voice says to me. "Will it compel me to say to the recipient,'I saw this and thought of you'?"

You know her best. You know yourself best. Browse Amazon and I’m sure something that speaks to you will pop up. It always does for me.

What about this? I did that for someone and I found a picture of her dad on her Facebook page and printed it and put it in the frame before wrapping it.

Donna Ashworth has a beautiful book of poetry entitled “Loss”. I discovered her recently and the poems spoke to me and the grief I felt after the loss of my mom. I love poetry though and searched for poetry in the early days of my grief and wish I had this book then!

If the family picked out a specific place to donate, I think that is a meaningful gift. I know that I’d prefer a donation to the place we picked out over a physical gift.

The makes the most sense to me.

I agree, too. I showed that picture frame because that particular person didn't have a place to donate. Our closest friends' mom passed away in Dec. and it had a place to donate (their church building fund). We did that and our friends were notified by the church. They told us how much they appreciated that because they knew it's what his mom wanted.
