Always In Our Hearts Sympathy Hamper FAQs
What is included in the Always In Our Hearts Sympathy Hamper?
The hamper includes an Always In Our Hearts Glass Candle Votive, Even Though Hardcover Book, Restful Organic Tea, Green Checkers Heat Pillow, Australian-made Wildflower Seeds Gift Packet and a Quiet Essential Oil Shower Steamer.
Who is this sympathy hamper suitable for?
It is suitable for a grieving friend, relative, colleague, neighbour or family. Its gentle message and practical contents make it appropriate for many relationships.
When should I send a sympathy hamper?
A sympathy hamper can be sent immediately after learning of a loss, around the funeral, during the weeks that follow or on a significant remembrance anniversary. Support can be especially meaningful after the initial messages and flowers have stopped arriving.
Is this hamper an alternative to sympathy flowers?
Yes. It offers lasting keepsakes and practical comfort that can be used over time. The wildflower seeds also provide an opportunity to grow a living memorial.
Is a candle supplied with the votive holder?
No. The Always In Our Hearts Glass Candle Votive is suitable for a tea light or small votive candle, but the candle itself is not included.
How should the memorial candle holder be used safely?
Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.
What is the Even Though Hardcover Book about?
This illustrated, cloth-bound book contains gentle, affirming words for someone experiencing a difficult time. Its 48 pages encourage reflection and remind the reader of their strength as they continue forward.
Is the Restful Organic Tea caffeine-free?
Yes. It is a caffeine-free herbal blend containing Australian Certified Organic chamomile, lemon balm, passionflower, lemon verbena and lavender.
When can the tea be enjoyed?
The recipient can enjoy it during a quiet daytime pause or as part of an evening wind-down ritual. Preparation directions on the packaging should be followed.
Can the Green Checkers Heat Pillow be used warm or cold?
Yes. It can be warmed or cooled according to the supplied product instructions. Always check the temperature before placing it against the body.
Is the heat pillow cover washable?
Yes. The heat pillow has a removable, machine-washable cover. Follow the care label and remove the inner insert before washing.
What seeds are included?
The packet contains a mixture of Californian poppy, cosmos and alyssum seeds, along with sowing instructions and a tear-away plant marker.
Are there delivery restrictions for the wildflower seeds?
Seed and plant-material restrictions may apply depending on the delivery destination. Relevant biosecurity and shipping guidance should be checked before dispatch.
How is the Quiet Essential Oil Shower Steamer used?
Place it on the shower floor where it can be lightly activated by water without sitting directly beneath the strongest stream. As it fizzes, it releases Roman chamomile and lavender aromas. Follow the package directions.
Is the shower steamer vegan?
Yes. It is handmade in Australia using a natural vegan formula.
Is this a religious sympathy gift?
The hamper does not feature an explicitly religious message. Its focus is remembrance, comfort and compassionate support, making it suitable for recipients from many backgrounds.
Can this hamper be sent to someone in hospital?
Hospital policies may restrict candles, glass, seeds, heat packs or strongly scented products. Check with the hospital first; delivery to the recipient’s home may be more practical.
Does this hamper make an appropriate workplace sympathy gift?
Yes. It can be a thoughtful condolence gift from colleagues, managers, teams or organisations wishing to acknowledge an employee’s loss.
Can the products be used gradually?
Yes. There is no expectation that everything be used immediately. The recipient can read, prepare tea, light a candle, use the heat pillow or plant the seeds whenever it feels right.
Why give a memorial hamper after the funeral?
Grief continues long after a funeral has ended. Sending a bereavement care package later can remind the recipient that they remain supported and that their loved one is still remembered.
