Gift for grieving friend

[orriskitten]

I know I haven't been as active lately, lots of stuff on my plate (might do another post about it later), but asking for some ideas.

My best friend's mom died a couple of weeks ago. He is an only child and a bachelor living out of state and just returned to his current home and is going back to work.

I'm trying to make a care package for him that I can send. I've got some local chocolates and pictures that Mel drew (he is the kids' godfather) and will probably make a few things. So far I'm thinking cookie mix in a jar, home made bath salts and a jar with comforting saying.

Any other ideas you ladies can think of? Shipping can vary from under a week to over a month, so nothing perishable.

I like all of your ideas. Maybe add something snuggly...a stuffed animal your kids pick out for him?
