Don't Buy Her Flowers

From the archives 🎧 A few months after fashion writer, Stacey Heale, lost her husband, Greg, to bowel cancer aged just 39, DBHF founder Steph Douglas sat down with Stacey to discuss overwhelm, cancer and grief for this podcast episode.  Stacey Heale, who shares her journey of love, loss, and resilience, offers a powerful perspective on the human side of navigating work and personal challenges in the face of hardship. Stacey speaks with authenticity about her experiences as a caregiver and how the workplace can better support those managing grief and life-altering changes. Her insights are invaluable, not only in understanding grief but also in creating supportive, empathetic workplace environments. For leaders and HR professionals, Stacey's story serves as a reminder that thoughtful support systems and empathetic policies make all the difference.

TW: Baby Loss When Steph Douglas started Don’t Buy Her Flowers back in 2014, bereavement wasn’t initially something she’d considered. Customers started to send gifts to offer comfort in grief, and then when Jen, Founder of Baby Loss charity Teddy's Wish got in touch to create something specifically to send out to bereaved parents, it felt right. It made sense to work with experts who understood what might work in a care package for someone going through an incredibly tough time, and we’re proud to have been working with Jen since 2020.  In our blog, Steph and Jennifer Reid catch up and chat through how the collaboration came about.

When it comes to corporate gifting, personalisation makes all the difference. 80% of those we surveyed who received a gift card or voucher said their employer hadn’t thought about them as an individual.  Similarly, sending a hamper full of sweet treats to someone who is diabetic, or alcohol to someone who doesn’t drink can easily miss the mark. But, when you pay attention to these details, the gesture becomes much more meaningful.  If your team has worked hard and deserves some TLC over the Christmas break, consider a bespoke gift package full of thoughtful items to help them relax and recharge. Bespoke gifting is what we do best. Whether you're ordering for 10 or 1,000 recipients, we tailor each gift to suit the individual, including personal messages that make every recipient feel valued.
