What kind of chocolate is best for a sympathy basket?

Stick to comforting classics—like chocolate bark, dipped fruit, truffles, or cookies. Avoid anything too flashy or novelty-style. It should feel soothing and familiar.

Can I send a chocolate shiva basket if I’m not attending in person?

Absolutely. Sending a basket is a meaningful way to show support when you can’t be there. It helps the family feel remembered and gives them something comforting to offer guests.

Should the chocolate be kosher for a shiva basket?

Yes—definitely. Even if the family isn’t very observant, kosher certification is respectful and often expected. It also ensures the food can be shared freely with visitors.

Is it okay to send a chocolate basket after the shiva ends?

Yes—it’s still a thoughtful gesture. Even after the formal mourning period, families often appreciate knowing people are thinking of them. Just include a simple message like, “Still thinking of you.”

Are there dairy-free or nut-free sympathy baskets for people with allergies?

Yes—many shops now offer allergy-friendly chocolate gifts. At The Sweet Tooth, you can find beautiful options that are nut-free, dairy-free, and certified kosher, including truffles, bark, and dipped fruit.

How fast should a sympathy basket be delivered?

Ideally within the first few days of the shiva, but sooner is better. Many families start receiving visitors right away, so overnight or local delivery is a good option if available. If you need rush service, contact The Sweet Tooth at (305)682-1400. We offer same day service if order is placed before 2pm but if need something outside of this time, we will do our best to accommodate.
