Christmas Cards For Recently Bereaved

[DSJ]

Can anyone please suggest where I can buy a Christmas card for a recently bereaved mother & daughter? I don't want anything too wordy but something that will hit just the right note.

Many thanks.

Have you tried card factory?
They seemed to have a card for every occasion
Or try moo pig - I think you can design your own

I have looked at Moonpig because I regularly buy from them but can find nothing exactly right on this occasion.

Buy an open card and put your own words in.

A blank card as suggested or Moonpig etc allow you to put entirely your own words. Always going to be better than something pre-printed.

Buy a blank card or make your own then you can put your own sentiments in it. I find it difficult to buy appropriate cards for any occasion, wanted a Get Well card for a friend in hospital who had surgery and most of the cards had teddy bears jumping with balloons or verses saying hope you'll soon be up and about and doing cartwheels!! I now make my own there is a great variety of card decorations and can be purchased in most £1 stores.

You are so right Caribeing, I recently had to be a 'get well' type card for a colleague in hospital that everyone knew was not ever going to get well. There was nothing appropriate in any of the high street stores.

Totally agree with everyone else, either make or purchase a tasteful (not sombre) card - add your own words. As one who like many has been on the receiving end these mean more than a verse made up by someone unknown.

I agree with the others, write your own words - a pre-printed one might not be quite right on this occasion.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I'll do what you suggest & write my own.
