Christmas is often a time we reflect and remember all that is dear to us and often that includes remembering our loved ones – those that are with us and those who aren’t. It’s the time of year we are most aware of people who have touched our lives but won’t be here to share Christmas day with us in person.
If there’s someone special who won’t be around this Christmas there are many ways you can commemorate and celebrate their life this festive season. The simplest way to create a memorial to absent loved ones is to use a favourite photo of them in your Christmas displays. Slipping a photo in amongst candles on a table or mantelpiece will create a touching monument to missing friends or family.
You can also commemorate a loved one with a personalised ornament. Our Frosted Glass Hearts are a beautiful way to help remember those who aren’t around, year after year. Both the Forever in our Hearts and In Loving Memory keepsakes can be personalised with a name and a year, and can be used every Christmas in memory of someone special.
The first time someone can’t be with us at Christmas can be especially difficult, and it can be hard to know how to best show your support. A simple gift like this is a wonderful way to let a friend or family member know you care.
