Top 3 things Not to Send

When supporting someone who is grieving or facing terminal illness, thoughtful gifts can bring comfort, but some items can unintentionally cause harm and discomfort.

Here are the top three things to avoid sending, with an alternate suggestion.

1- Flowers / Creams with Strong Scents: Overpowering fragrances can be overwhelming, especially in hospice or hospital environments. Flowers will wilt quickly, symbolizing decay and extra work to dispose.  leolam gifts have been curated to ensure scent is soft and natural to create a soothing and healing environment.

2 -Anything That Requires Effort (Books, DIY Kits, Unprepared Meals): Grief and terminal illness are mentally and physically exhausting. Sending comfort like a soft blanket (xoxo blanket) or weighted heart with cozy slippers for some quiet self-care.
 

3 -'Stay Strong' or Toxic Positivity Gifts: Items that urge strength or positivity may feel invalidating and add pressure to hide their true emotions. Instead offering a thoughtful reminder to just breathe (Every breath you take gift box) with our Breathe Pure Mala bracelet.
