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 is an important part of Grief Gifts for me. Each financial year I donate 10% of sales to a cause connected to loss and the experiences that shaped this business. 

This year I am supporting Rare Cancers Australia. In 2020 my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 mucosal melanoma and given six months to live. This came just two years after her dementia diagnosis at only 69. Mucosal melanoma is incredibly rare, affecting around one in a million people and representing just 1% of all melanomas.

My mum lived 19 months beyond her prognosis. In honour of her, I will be donating 10% of all Grief Gifts sales during the 2025–2026 financial year to Rare Cancers Australia.

Turning grief into something that helps others feels like the most meaningful way I can honour her. 

About Me

Grief Gifts was born from my own experience with loss.

Amanda Fox | Grief Gifts Perth | Sympathy Gifts PerthEverything changed for me when I lost my beautiful mum and my beloved 15-year-old dog just months apart. I couldn’t understand how the world simply kept going when someone you love passes. All I knew was that nothing was ever going to be the same again. Grieving them both so closely left a mark on my heart - one that will always remain.

I’ve always felt things deeply, but these losses heightened that sensitivity in a way I had never known before. Some might call it empathy, but I often feel it’s my mum guiding me, helping me do this work. She was a nurse who cared deeply for others, and while I’m not medically minded, this has become my own way of taking care of people - through thoughtfulness, connection, and gentle support.

Over the past few years, I’ve watched friends walk this same path. During these times, I’ve never been one to give flowers. The idea of offering something that will eventually fade never felt right to me when the love being honoured is so enduring.

As I searched for meaningful gifts to support my grieving friends, I realised how difficult it was to find something that truly conveyed the depth of care and sympathy I wanted to express. I longed for gifts that could bring comfort during such painful moments, but also something lasting - something they could keep as a reminder that they were not alone.

That longing is what led me to create Grief Gifts. I felt called to create a space where people could find gentle, heartfelt alternatives to sympathy flowers - gifts chosen with care, wrapped with love, and sent with intention, to offer true comfort and support when words are hard to find.

Thank you reading this and for being here. It means more than you know.
