The recipient of the care pkg was “over the moon”. The intent was to acknowledge the ongoing grief…and attempt at reintegrating back into a new way of living. Sensitivity and compassion in a box… love your company
As pictured/described. Super fast shipping, which was unexpected and lovely. Can’t wait to start using it!
My entire experience with this order was good. I appreciated the different selections and all the product details on the website. I made a mistake when finalizing the order and put in my own shipping address instead of the friend where we were sending the package I reached out to customer service right away. They were very kind and their response and fix the problem quickly. They also had to exchange an item in the gift box and the communication was very clear and helpful. When our friend received the box, she was very, very moved. The package arrived faster than the shipping time frame forecasted on the website. I will definitely shop with this company again.
I love how easy it is to find the perfect items for a gift package. The filters are super helpful!
I love this company so much!! I was struggling to figure out what to send to a friend. Something simple but meaningful. As I explored the Good Grief website, I found all the perfect items I thought would brighten her day. Plus most items felt affordable. She loved them her gift package! I’ll definitely be back!
I love how easy it is to find the perfect items for a gift package. The filters are super helpful!
I've never heard of this website before, but wanted to buy a book for a friend and I hate supporting big businesses like amazon. I am impressed with how fast the book shipped and think this is a sweet company with fair prices for it being a small business.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear you had a positive experience with us, and we hope your friend loves the book! Thank you for supporting a small, women-owned business. With love, Mel & Kris
My experience had been excellent! I’ll definitely shop here again for another occasion.
