To be perfectly honest, you probably cannot go too wrong when looking for a gift for someone who has had a miscarriage. If you are reading this post, you care about someone enough to be looking up thoughtful gift ideas for miscarriage. And really, when it comes to a miscarriage gift, it is the thought that counts. I don’t think anyone expects a gift after miscarriage, but your kindness and thoughtfulness in giving one will surely be appreciated.
Below are some gifts I’ve both received and given in the midst of my own and others’ miscarriages. You can’t go wrong with any of these miscarriage gift ideas!
1. A “Healing Hearts Comfort Kit”
A thoughtful and perfectly packaged gift, this Healing Hearts Comfort Kit from Earth Mama Organics includes an aromatherapy spray, a candle, and some flower seeds to plant in the spring.
Some friends and I went in together to get this for another friend who had a miscarriage. It turned out to be the perfect, thoughtful gift.
2. A Warm Blanket
After my miscarriage, I was very surprised when my sister-in-law dropped off a gift on our porch. I hadn’t been expecting anything! As someone who is always cold, a fuzzy blanket was the perfect gift.
I highly recommend this one from Amazon. You really can never go wrong with a warm fuzzy blanket, especially in the winter.
3. An ornament
Another very thoughtful gift I received from a friend after my miscarriage was a remembrance ornament similar to this one.
If the miscarriage happened around Christmastime, as mine did, an ornament can be a very thoughtful gift — without seeming too “personal” if you are not super close with someone.
4. Jewelry
Although I personally do not wear a lot of jewelry, I wanted to include this one as I know a lot of women appreciate jewelry as a remembrance gift. I would recommend a simple bracelet like this one or a small necklace like this one from Etsy that includes a heartfelt message of sympathy. Unless you are very confident in your friend’s style of jewelry, I think simpler and smaller is better in this case of remembrance jewelry.
5. A Book or Devotional
This would be an especially thoughtful gift for someone you are quite close to. Although I have not read any devotionals specific to pregnancy loss, a friend of mine who recently went through a miscarriage recommended Loved Baby, by Sarah Philpott.
6. A Card
On the other hand, for someone you are not very close to, it may be difficult to think of an appropriate gift. I went through this myself, and ultimately opted to send a card. Sending a card shows someone that you are thinking of them, while at the same time not being overbearing or trying to do “too much.” It is also much more personal and meaningful than a text.
