Perhaps you are unable to send your sympathy gift right away — maybe you didn’t hear the news until weeks or months later. The Zinnia is appropriate as a belated sympathy gift.

The Zinnia allows you to support your friend or loved one in an appropriate way when household goods are no longer necessary.
