About Grief Gifts

“What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” – Helen Keller

Grief Gifts is an Australian-owned business that I run from Perth, Western Australia, offering thoughtful and lasting sympathy gifts delivered across Australia. I specialise in meaningful alternatives to sympathy flowers. Every gift is lovingly packaged with a handwritten card and delivered directly to the recipient.

Whether you’re supporting someone through bereavement, miscarriage, the loss of a parent, or another deeply personal loss, I’m here to help you show you care in a way that feels lasting, gentle, and heartfelt.

I know that the loss of someone we love is a profound and deeply personal experience. It often leaves us searching for ways to express our support, especially when words don’t feel like enough. I understand just how important it is to let someone know they are not alone.

At Grief Gifts, my intention is to make grief gifting as thoughtful and simple as possible. I’ve carefully curated a collection of meaningful gifts that can be given at different points along the grieving journey, whether after a recent loss, on an anniversary, at a memorial, on a birthday or holiday, during the loss of a beloved pet, or even through anticipatory grief. Having personally struggled to find the right gifts for loved ones during these moments, I felt called to create a space where you can find something that truly offers comfort and care.

My goal is to offer gifts, gift boxes, and gift cards that speak to the heart and provide quiet support when words are hard to find. I understand how important it is to choose something that feels right for the unique journey each person is walking.

I take care of every detail, from wrapping to delivery, so you can send a token of love that truly reflects your care. Each gift is packaged with respect, tenderness, and the intention of bringing a little peace and comfort to someone who needs it most.

If you have any questions or need help choosing the right gift, please reach out. I would be honoured to help you find something meaningful to send during such a tender time.

Giving Back 

Giving back has always been an important part of Grief Gifts.

Each financial year, I choose a charity to support. Every charity reflects a cause that has touched my life in a deeply personal way, and every purchase helps me make a meaningful contribution.

From Dementia Australia and Rare Cancers Australia in honour of Mum, to Oldies but Goodies Dog Rescue in memory of my beloved Archie, every cause has a special place in my heart. Every purchase helps Grief Gifts give back to organisations making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals, families and animals facing difficult times.

Turning grief into something that brings hope, comfort and kindness to others is one of the most meaningful parts of Grief Gifts.

About Me

Grief Gifts was born from my own experience with loss.

Everything changed for me when I lost my beautiful mum and my beloved 15-year-old soul dog, just months apart. I couldn't understand how the world simply kept going when the people you love are no longer here. 

I've always felt things deeply, but grief awakened something in me I had never experienced before. It gave me an even greater appreciation for how important it is to show up for people when they need us most.

As the years passed, I watched friends and family experience heartbreaking losses of their own. While flowers are a beautiful and thoughtful gesture, I found myself longing to give something that would remain long after they had faded. I wanted to send a lasting reminder that someone was thinking of them, holding them close, and walking beside them through their grief.

When I searched for meaningful sympathy gifts, I found it difficult to find something that truly reflected what I wanted to say.  I was looking for something that simply said, "I'm here. I see you. You don't have to walk this alone."

That search became the beginning of Grief Gifts.

Today, every gift is thoughtfully chosen with the hope of bringing comfort during life's hardest moments. From keepsakes and self-care gifts to books, journals and memorial pieces, each parcel is lovingly wrapped by hand, accompanied by a handwritten card, and sent with the hope that your recipient feels seen, deeply loved and gently supported.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for trusting Grief Gifts with something so incredibly important. It is a privilege I never take for granted.

With love,

Amanda Fox 🤍
