Hi, my name is Allison Schaaf, my own fertility journey, including 5 miscarriages, inspired me to create this website to help YOU navigate your own fertility journey.
In this article I share ideas for thoughtful gifts to give someone that has experienced a miscarriage. I encourage you to think through which gift(s) are most appropriate and meaningful for the recipient.
Meaningful Miscarriage Gift Ideas for Mom After Miscarriage: Show That You Care After a Pregnancy Loss
Going through a miscarriage or pregnancy loss can be devastating. If you have a friend or family member struggling with a miscarriage (or even multilple miscarraiges) and want to find a meaningful miscariage gift to show you care, we have compiled a list of 33 miscarriage gift ideas so that you can find that present perfect for your situation and needs. The most important thing when it comes to miscarriage gifting is to keep in mind it really is the thought that counts. The below ideas include a range of interests, budgets and preferences.
1. A Commissioned Family Portrait: A Perfect Miscarriage Gift
I love the idea of a commissioned family portrait as a way of never forgetting the pregnancy after the loss. There are multiple artists doing beautiful work, check out Kierra B Art.
2. Show Your Support with a Book on Miscarriage
A book on miscarriage can help a grieving mom to feel less alone, here 3 that I recommend:
– Not Broken: An Approachable Guide to Miscarriage and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss by Lora Shahine, MD
– Grace Like Scarlett: Grieving with Hope after Miscarriage and Loss by Adriel Booker
– I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, a Movement by Jessica Zucker
3. Crystals Specific to Healing After Miscarriage
Crystals can be the perfect gift for a friend who leans a bit “woo” in her life. Try rose quartz which is a crystal of peace and unconditional love. It’s qualities include the ability to calm us, open our hearts and bring deep healing and self love. Or check out this pregnancy loss cyrstal gift set, here.
4. A Meaningful Care Package
Show your friend you are thinking of her after miscarriage by putting together a homemade care package with comforting items like tea, chocolate and fuzzy socks. Read this article for ideas for creating a homemade Miscarriage Care Package. You can also check out my list of the best miscarriage care packages for all budgets.
5. Moving Thru Grief with Yoga
A gift card for a restorative yoga class (or better yet, an invitation to attend one together!) would be much appreciated by any yogi going through a miscarriage.
6. Provide Comfort Thru Food
Nothing says comfort like a home cooked meal. If you live nearby, deliver your favorite homemade soup. If you don’t live nearby, try gifting a subscription to a meal planning service like Prep Dish.
7. Flowers with Meaning
Flowers are a sure way to say I care. Buying white flowers makes the gift more meaningful as white flowers express love and purity and are a way to offer your condolences to someone going through pregnancy loss.
8. Use Your Words to Say I Care
A handwritten card can be the most touching gift to give someone going through a miscarriage. Check out these cards here if you want to send a card on a significanct date, like the due date or the anniversary of the miscarriage.
9. Angels Have Significance After Loss
Angels and the term “angel baby” is often used to refer to a baby lost to soon due to miscarriage or still birth. Help a family to honor and remember their angel baby by buying a pair of angel wings, for example, as a Christmas ornament.
10. Encourage Self Care
A woman struggling with miscarriage certainly could use some self care, try gifting a favorite bath product like this lemongrass sugarbuff body polish from Beautycounter, bonus in that it has a clean ingredient list, perfect for anyone worried about future fertility.

Jizo is the Buddhist deity known as protector of miscarried babies. He is said to hide them in his robes for safety and guides their souls to safe passage to their afterlives. Even if your recipient is not Buddhist, this statue can be a meaningful way to honor the loss, find options linked here.
18. Buy Groceries to Help During a Difficult Time
Use your local grocery delivery service to send food! When I do this for friends, I include everything from fruit to a favorite sausage to dark chocolate to flowers! You could also include ingredients for a favorite (easy-to-prepare) meal.
