Sympathy gourmet baskets are given as a show of support and comfort. They are often given to people who are sick or who are grieving because of the loss of a loved one. Many shops have gift baskets designed specifically for this purpose. Sympathy gourmet baskets are popular because they can be purchased and given quickly after the announcement of a tragedy. Sympathy gourmet baskets can also be useful because they offer food to those who might not have the time or the energy to make food for themselves.

Sympathy gourmet baskets are similar to normal gift baskets in many ways. They contain different kinds of food, including snack foods. They are less likely to contain candy and chocolates, possibly because those foods are more associated with celebrations. They usually contain things like preserved meats, cheese, crackers, nuts and other healthy foods. Sympathy gourmet baskets are much more likely to contain fresh fruit, and many also come with an assortment of flowers to further express sympathy.

Another difference between sympathy gourmet baskets and regular gift baskets is that sympathy baskets are far less decorated, again avoiding the appearance of celebration. Sympathy gourmet baskets are usually placed in simple baskets with little other decoration than a few flowers.
