Sympathy & “Thinking of You” Gifts That Show You Care
Sometimes there are no words — only gestures. A sympathy gift basket or “thinking of you” candy gift says what a card alone cannot. It says “I am here, I care, and I wanted to send something real.”
At Goodies Etc., we understand that these gifts carry extra meaning. Every sympathy basket and thinking-of-you gift is assembled with care at our Highland Park store and shipped with the respect the occasion deserves.
Sympathy Gift Baskets
Classic Sympathy Basket
Our Basket of Goodies ($85–$165) in its classic presentation is a thoughtful sympathy gift for a grieving family. The basket provides something to share — visitors can enjoy candy together, and it brings a small comfort during a difficult time.
Smaller Sympathy Gifts
For a more understated gesture, our English Toffee Boxes ($19–$57) are elegant, refined, and appropriate for sympathy. They arrive in a simple, tasteful box that feels right for the occasion.
Food for the Family
When a family is dealing with loss, practical gifts matter. A candy basket provides snacks for visitors, something sweet during a bitter time, and a gift that does not require preparation or dishes.
“Thinking of You” Gifts
Not every difficult moment is about grief. Sometimes someone is just going through a tough time — a breakup, a job loss, a move, a rough week. A “thinking of you” gift says “you are not alone.”
