One of my close friends has had 4 miscarriages in the past 6 months. I feel so bad for her, and I have been there for her emotionally. Then last week she lost another baby. Would it be nice for me to bye her a small gift and a card telling her how much I love her etc, or should I just leave it and just be there for her??
If, you think I should give a small gift, any idea's. And I guess this would be a gift not because she lost a baby but because she means alot to me.
I have done this for a friend as well,
I looked and looked for the most perfect card of loss, was fantastic card well worded.
And as a gift I gave her a facial and a pedicure for her to be made special for a few hours, and help her mind try and relax the best it could in that situation.
A voucher for a nice dinner for her and hubby might be a nice thought as well.
My cousin just had a miscarriage and i decided to send her flowers.
She was so happy it bought tears to her eyes. She put them in the living room near her seat, and could smell them through the house. They were a lovely soft pink and greenery bunch, i just wanted to make her feel loved and that someone is thinking of her in that time of need

I still have all the cards and trinkets that my friends gave me when I lost a pregnancy. I cannot begin to describe how much those words and gestures meant to me, and still do. I am sure whatever you decide will mean a lot to her.
ANYTHING will be awesome (OK, except maybe maternity wear or baby goods!)
For me, flowers were a bit whatever, but some great gifts I got were a t-shirt, a pedicure, a bag of nuts (from someone who knows I don't do chocolate) a beautiful rosemary plant (BB girls!) and a gorgeous little notebook.
What an absolutely beautiful friend you are . When we lost our little Angel we bought a symbolic necklace that was engraved with details, maybe thats a bit personal for what you want to do? A gorgeous lady who is a 'bit spiritual' iykwim gave me a pink baby rose bush to commemorate our babe....I hadnt even told her I was pregnant or had lost our angel. If she is the kind of girl who might keep her pregnancy tests etc, what about a really lovely box to keep all those 'memories' in along with a notebook to write a letter to each of her babes? Just a few thoughts. Wish I had of had a friend as caring as you x
Thanks for your idea's, its so appreciated. She really does mean the world to me !!!
I dont know if this would be nice or not, what about
A block of her fav chocolate, a small bunch of flowers or a bamboo plant (their suppose to be lucky arent they??) And you know those little books you can get that has those special sayings in it with cute photo's
That sounds lovely What a special friend you are. I have heard that some mums dislike flowers, when a friend of mine lost her twins last year I bought her a simple silver chain and two little silver and CZ-studded star pendants to put on it, and popped it in a card with a little note to tell her how sorry I was and that I was thinking of her. Maybe if your friend wears a bracelet (eg a Pandora one, although most regular link bracelets work these days) you could buy her some charms or something commemorating her little angels?
HTH, I think your friend would be very glad to know that she has someone there who cares and is willing to listen. *hugs*
