Sympathy & Memorial Gifts
Sympathy gifts from Printerpix are never on a timer. When you're ready, gentle ideas: a life in pictures, their own words on a canvas print, or a memory blanket.
These are the ideas we have for remembering someone, written down so you can read what they are before you decide anything at all. Nothing here is on a timer, and we will never send you a reminder about it.

FAQ About Sympathy Gifts
What is a thoughtful sympathy gift?
A thoughtful sympathy gift gives the family something of the person they lost. Printerpix gathers personalized memorial ideas made from your own photographs: In Loving Memory, a portrait with their name and dates; A Life in Pictures, a collage through the years; or Their Words, a saying they loved.
What is a good sympathy gift for the loss of a mother?
After the loss of a mom, a gift can keep her close in a simple way. Mom's Sayings puts the things she always said on a canvas print. Her Favorite Recipe, kept in her own handwriting, can go on a second one for the kitchen. There is no rush; it can wait until the family is ready.
What is a good memorial gift for the loss of a father?
For the loss of a dad, a memorial gift for a daughter or son often starts with pictures only the family has: his workbench, his truck, his garden. Dad's Sayings on a Printerpix canvas print, or a photo book of those pictures with his name, gives the people who loved him somewhere to look.
What is a memorial blanket?
A memorial blanket, or memory blanket, is a photo blanket printed with pictures of someone who has died, often with their name and a few words beside them. It can rest on the chair that was theirs. Printerpix prints it from the photographs you choose, whenever you feel ready.
When is the right time to send a condolence gift?
A condolence gift after a death does not have to arrive in the first week. A memorial photo gift can also come a month or two later, when the visits slow down and the quiet sets in. A Family Memory Collage in a photo book, or a Handwriting Keepsake on a canvas print with a note from you, can mean as much then.
What is a good remembrance gift for the loss of a husband or son?
A remembrance gift after the loss of a husband or a son can hold the everyday pictures: his chair, his jokes, the trips. A photo book of his life, or his own words on a canvas print in the Their Words design, gives the family a custom memorial gift to return to, whenever they feel ready.
What is a good sympathy gift for a man or a friend?
A good sympathy gift for a man or a friend can be quiet and plain. Men often say the most in few words, so for a male friend a bereavement gift can let the photos speak. After the loss of a brother or sister, a photo book of the siblings growing up, or a canvas print of a day they shared, gives them something to keep.
How long does it take to arrive?
Made to order in 1 to 3 working days, then sent with tracking. Delivery options and costs for your address are shown at the checkout, before you pay.
What if I do not have good photos?
You need fewer than you think. Plenty of these take a single picture, and some take none at all, the ones built from names, dates and a few lines you write yourself.
Can I change my mind after I have started?
Yes. Nothing is printed until you have seen a preview and confirmed it, so you can change the photos, the words or the product itself up to that point.
What if it arrives and it is not right?
Tell us. Every order is covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: not right? We’ll reprint it or refund you.
Is it really made from my own photos?
Yes, that is the whole point. Your original photo is never altered; whatever you make is produced alongside it, so you keep both.
