Why This In Loving Memory Gift Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a gentle sympathy gift for someone who has lost a loved one — is the Loving Memory Sympathy Gift Set a good choice?
Yes — it's simple and quiet: a lavender sachet, a 10ml bottle of pure lavender essential oil and a mini dried lavender flower. It's a soft way to say you're thinking of them, without asking anything of them.
What makes the Loving Memory Sympathy Gift Set different from other lavender gift sets?
The essential oil in this set is our award-winning lavender oil, distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. The sachet holds spray-free lavender hand-rubbed into buds on the farm, and the mini dried flower was grown, dried and bunched by hand, so every piece comes from our fields.
What occasions suit this lavender sympathy gift?
It suits sympathy and loss, a funeral or memorial, the anniversary of a loss, and thinking-of-you moments.
Does this gift set arrive ready to give?
Yes — it arrives gift-boxed, ready to send straight to the recipient: just enter their address as the shipping address. To include a personal message, add one of our greeting cards to your order and write your message in the Gift message or special instructions box in your cart — we'll handwrite it on the card. Receipts are emailed to you, so no price or invoice goes in the parcel.
How do I use this lavender sympathy gift?
Add a few drops of essential oil to a diffuser, or a drop to the sachet to refresh its scent. Keep the sachet by the bed or in a drawer, and place the dried flower in a small vase or beside a photo. Keep the essential oil away from children and pets, and don't apply it undiluted to skin.
Does this lavender sympathy gift contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
No — none of the items contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift set come from?
The essential oil is Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super'), grown and steam-distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, and the sachet and dried flower hold lavender from the same fields.
How long does delivery take within New Zealand for this gift set?
We send every order by tracked courier, with no signature needed. We aim to deliver within 3–5 working days in the North Island and 5–7 working days in the South Island and rural areas, and orders placed on a weekend or public holiday are sent the next business day.

Yes. You can order the Loving Memory Sympathy Gift Set from anywhere in the world and we'll deliver it to any address in New Zealand — just enter the recipient's NZ address at checkout. We only deliver within New Zealand, so it can't be sent to an address overseas.
