Some of the most important gifts we give aren't for birthdays or holidays. They are for the moments when we want to say "thank you," "I'm thinking of you" or "I'm so sorry." Flowers are lovely, but they fade in a week. A small, hand-painted Limoges box stays, and quietly keeps saying what you meant.
Here are our favorite Limoges boxes for gratitude and comfort.
Thank You Gifts
Boxes That Say It for You
Some Limoges boxes have "Thank You" painted right on the lid, so there's no doubt what you mean.
- Thank You Limoges Box on a classic oval
- Thank You Floral Limoges Box: small, round and pretty
- Thank You Limoges Box in light blue
- Gift Box with Red Bow Thank You: a porcelain present that says thanks
Who to Thank With a Limoges Box
- A host or hostess after a holiday dinner or a weekend stay. See our Thanksgiving hostess gift ideas.
- Nurses, doctors and caregivers who looked after someone you love.
- Teachers and mentors at the end of a year or a career. More in Limoges Box Gifts for Careers and Hobbies.
- Bridesmaids and wedding helpers after the big day.
- A neighbor who watched the house, fed the cat or shoveled the snow.
Sympathy and Remembrance Gifts
When someone is grieving, a small keepsake can be a comfort. It gives them a place to keep a tiny memento: a ring, a lock of hair, a pressed flower from the service, or a note.
Angels
Angels are a gentle symbol of comfort and remembrance in many families.
See more in Angel Limoges Boxes and Religious Limoges Boxes.
When a Pet Passes Away
Losing a pet is losing a family member. The Angel Dog Limoges Box and the Angel Puppy Dog are tender ways to remember a faithful friend. Some people keep a tag or a little fur clipping inside. More ideas in Limoges Boxes for Cat and Dog Lovers.
What to Write on the Card
- Thank you: "A small box for a big thank you. We couldn't have done it without you."
- Sympathy: "Thinking of you, and holding [name] in our hearts."
- Pet loss: "For your sweet [pet's name], who was so loved."
