If you find yourself searching the internet, looking for gifts for someone going through a hard time, chances are you are a special friend or loved one indeed. You want to express your love and support to someone experiencing one of the more difficult moment or milestone, but you also want them to feel loved and remind them of how much you value them even when they're not feeling their best.

They could be taking time to heal following the death of a friend or family member, or perhaps they're going through a breakup or divorce. Maybe they're living with a period of anxiety or depression, getting over an illness, lost their job or simply feeling overwhelmed by their circumstances. Many of us know someone who has been through something similar, maybe you yourself know exactly what it feels like. Either way, finding somewhere with the right kind of gifts for someone going through a hard time can be invaluable at such a time.

Our collection of personalised gifts have always been inspired by life's key moments and milestones and we acknowledge that for every birthday, wedding or joyful celebration, there are times where the occasions that shape us are also emotionally and even physically difficult. As such, we have always sought to include gifts of this kind. Here is just a selection of them.

You're Doing A Great Job Linen Scarf

The first few months of parenthood can be particularly challenging. A complete change of routine, physical recovery and emotional rollercoaster combine to often leaving new parents worrying if they're even doing it right. Our beautiful linen scarf offers a completely personalised message of encouragement to remind them how amazing you think they are.

Love Lives Here Jumper

When we're mending a broken heart, a little self-love goes a long way. This jumper carries a quiet but precious message that love lives on, even when your heart is healing and that love itself, whether from a special friend or loved one, or even simply being kind to yourself, is the cure.

Message of Strength Scarf

When Deborah started Sparks and Daughters, her dream was soon interrupted by a Breast Cancer diagnosis. Despite undergoing treatment, with the love and support of her family, she was able to keep the business going where it grew into the success that it has become today. These events inspired the creation of the message of strength scarf, to keep your love close to someone going through a hard time, even when you are apart, with a special and personal message of encouragement. All profits raised from every scarf sold by Sparks and Daughters will be donated to Maggie’s cancer support.

Men's Role Model Tshirt

Reminding someone how valued they are is one of the best ways to express your love when they are experiencing a difficult season of life. True role models are brave. Not the kind of brave that fears nothing but the kind that keeps going even when the road ahead isn't clear to see. Our role model shirt delivers a message of admiration and encouragement to show someone just how much they mean.

Embroidered Towelling Bath Robe

Pampering yourself can be a welcome distraction from tough circumstances and a little me-time is often needed to give yourself a break when life is stressful. Our towelling gown is so soft and luxurious and when given as a gift tells its recipient 'You are worthy of a touch of luxury and you deserve to feel special'.

Thoughtful Roses Gift Set

This thoughtful gift allows you to share the words that come to mind when you think of a special friend or loved one. The Thoughtful Roses set includes two pairs of ladies pink socks, hand-rolled into beautiful roses. Each one displays a special word to describe the recipient, such as 'Caring', 'Inspiring', 'Loving' or 'Always there'. You can personalise them with your very own words, the ones you know will express your love and support the best.
