Explore our top five sympathy gifts to find the perfect tribute to their memory and provide comfort to their loved ones.

1. Artisan Wind Chimes

An original creation from Laurelbox, the Artisan Wind Chimes are made from recycled tin and iron. Indian artisans meticulously handcraft each bell, cutting and hammering the metal before coating it in powdered brass or copper and firing it in a kiln. This unique process creates rustic bells, each tuned to produce a rich, one-of-a-kind sound. Your gift’s recipient can hang them in their garden or by a front door and let the beautiful sounds bring their loved one to mind. Available in large or small sizes, variations bring charm and individuality to appearance and tone.
