When a friend or family member has had a miscarriage, it can be hard to know what to say or do. Miscarriage memorial gifts won’t take the pain away, but a thoughtful gift for a grieving family means so much. Ultimately, being gifted a memorial item can provide comfort and support for parents grieving the loss of a baby.

Memorial Gifts for Miscarriage
One day during pregnancy, I’d felt lonely in my new job, so I’d looked down and talked to my belly. “I’m not alone,” I said aloud. “You, darling, will be with me for 34 more weeks. During that time, I can never be alone.”
When I lost that baby, I felt so empty.
I needed something to hold, a token of some sort, and I wanted it to be something that was always with me.
Husband and I went to a jewelry store and picked out a pearl ring. In some cultures, pearl rings are bad omens, but a pearl would’ve been that baby’s birthstone, so to me, it felt like a tribute.
This piece of miscarriage jewelry provided me with immense comfort, like my little ones were always with me once again.
Miscarriage Jewelry
Obviously, jewelry can be a great gift, whether fancy or everyday.
Pavilion Gift Company Birthstone Necklaces
Product Features
- Includes 18″ chain
- Nickel free & hypoallergenic
- Comes packaged in a gift box
Birthstone jewelry is an excellent miscarriage memorial gift. I chose a ring because I could easily wear it everyday. But I also love these birthstone necklaces from Pavilion Gift Company because of their beauty and simplicity.
Charm Jewelry from Malisay Designs
Product Features
- Handmade
- Choose your length of cable chain
- 14k gold filled or sterling silver 3/8″ disc
Many mothers report enjoying charm jewelry with birthstones. That way, if miscarriages continue, there’s room for additional remembrances without adding extra pieces of jewelry. The ellipsis on this simple charm is a connector… a placeholder in-between.
Mantra Cuff Bracelet
Product Features
- Both sides of this bracelet can be customized with up to 40 characters/spaces
- Surgical grade stainless steel
- 3mm wide, fits wrist size 6.75 – 7.75″
If the parents have named the child they lost, memorial jewelry with that child’s name can be especially significant. I also love this option because it allows for additional pieces, whether honoring future losses or living children.
I personally love simple pieces, like these bangles, because you can wear as few or as many as you want.
Stuffed Animals
Stuffed animals for families who are grieving give them something childlike to snuggle–they’re soft and warm, and the type of item their baby would’ve had, if it’d been born living.
GUND Fuzzy Teddy Bear
Product Features
- 13.5″ bear with floppy arms and legs
- Able to sit up
- Soft, premium materials
- Comes in 3 charming colors
This one may seem silly, and perhaps obvious, but I love teddy bears as a miscarriage memorial gift.
Stephanie had a special teddy bear for each loss, and she did a photoshoot to commemorate them.
Baby GUND Lil’ Luvs Emory Plush Fox
Product Features
- 12″ tall
- Modern design
- Gentle pastel colors
If you’re not a teddy bear person, you may prefer this sweet little fox.
Angels
Angels are especially symbolic of loss. I often refer to my lost little ones as my “angels” or “angel babies.” This is common terminology in the miscarriage community, so as cheesy as it may seen, angels really are a beloved miscarriage memorial gift.
My angels are wooden, and are hand-maid by an artisan on the coast of Georgia. I stood breathless when I first saw them in a shop.
Loss mom Stephanie Maksymiw was gifted crocheted angels, which she included in a photoshoot memorializing her losses.
Here’s an angel option you may love for your home.
Rustic Barn Wood Angel
Product Features
- Comes in 7″ or 11″ white or natural barn wood color
- Copper wire halo
- Reclaimed wood has variations in color and texture
These rustic, homemade angels made from reclaimed barn wood can be used to build your own angel family.
Name a star
You can name a star at the Online Star Register. This may sound cheesy, but since many loss parents love to imagine their lost children are out there in the universe, this is a great one.
Regardless of religious beliefs–whether people believe their child is in Heaven, going to be reborn in another child, in the ether–the notion of a star watching over you is so comforting.
Plus, you can choose the location of your star, so whether you want to choose a star near your child’s sun sign or there’s a constellation that’s meaningful to you, you can pick what you like best.
Miscarriage Art Piece
After my third loss, my friend Tessa sent me a very simple piece of artwork. It means the world to me. The thoughtfulness was incredible, and I can’t imagine the day when it won’t remain framed in my bedroom.
For your own personal art, you can draw it yourself, find it on Etsy, or have an artistic friend make it for you. I promise your loved one will appreciate the personal touch.
Miscarriage & Infant Loss Photo Alterations
Product Features
- You provide a family photo and the age your lost child would be
- You receive a proof before your final high resolution .jpg file
While no photo will replace your lost baby, this may make your angel feel a little closer to you. You can have it printed once you receive your digital copy.
