Gift basket to support co worker for bereavement?

[Anonymous]

Any suggestions?

You really don't need to gift anything. A simple card is enough.

In my culture, we send food, or donate to an organization that does research on the illness the deceased died from.

Yes, that’s why I’m asking about a gift basket. I assumed some sort of food items. We are not local to her

I would not want a basket of random food if someone very close to me died. Especially if the person sending seems to be more of an acquaintance than a close friend.

Harry and David can be nice “noshing” type items. We sent a basket from them to my boss when her mom died, knowing she’d be hosting a lot of family during that time.

Spoonful of Comfort is nice for the “after times”, when they are past the hosting time/services and are trying to feed themselves.

Ok what would you want? These things are often symbolic, you know. Sending her something to show her co workers are thinking of her. A card is not sufficient.

Well, my culture is jewish, so we find a kosher deli near the people mourning and send over a platter of sandwiches, knishes, and matzoh ball soup from that deli.

A donation to the place they asked for.

She’s not Jewish but that’s a nice idea. Someone sent me a delivery of Greek food when my dad passed and it was perfect
