I don’t know that you need to buy a gift.
You can get flowers, write a very heartfelt letter or card, and just show that you are there day/night when we they need you.
That’s what it’s all about xx
Her favorite food and have a movie night. Company is always best in those situations

A card and flowers, keep it simple.
flowers are a bit more than just a card, everyone likes flowers.
it also gets you away from gimmicky stuff.
if you want to add something, add in chocolates or hot chocolate that you make yourself (as in not just powdered stuff ).I would say a card with something meaningful and honest you’ve written inside it, as well as some flowers.
If it's her ex, at least they didn't have a tight bond anymore. My go to for grieving is a teddy bear and a card. Those seem to work well, Walgreens sells them cheap, and it's not like a present is going to make them feel better. Having something fuzzy to hold can feel good though.
I can't even think of anything cause I put myself in her position and there would be no point of a gift in that situation, like others have said, some flowers which will most likely end up at the grave so I feel like that's the best choice rather than anything else cause gifts are for celebration and there's not much of a celebration here.
Get her a Plushie she can hug, a fairly sized one, you could get one of the big ones, but that might be too much. A standard sized teddy bear should be enough, and as others have mentioned, a Card with a heartfelt message on the inside would be a meaningful gift to share.
She’s Your friend and You Still don’t Know what she likes Dislikes.
What a Shame just goes to show what Kind of friend you are to her.
Also how do you know her Ex passed away? Sounds like a bunch of shit To me and if I were you I would need Proof that he’s dead before I Decide to not or get her something.Gifts are simply not appropriate for moments like this..
What is vital is support , and a beautifully had written card showing same , stating you are always there for her.
No material gift is relevant.why give them a gift at all, let them grieve and just be a friend to them when they need company
Maybe just spend some time with her.
Maybe take her out for a few drinks and dinner.
If you buy her "a gift" it just might depress her because it will be a constant reminder of the person who died.If it was the other way around, a males male friend's Ex girlfriend died neither of them would care.
Write your own sincere message in a card, maybe something about the guy that you remember.
Hard to beat a bit of love and support at these hard times like this now
Gifts are useless in such cases.
Just be a friend. Just be there if requested.I think the most important thing is to just be there for them, and your presence will be the gift?
Just give her a card and be there for her cause she's gonna need the support of her friends to get her through this
Try the memory box sympathy memory box. Look ar them online they are a sweet gift.
Nothing is better than showing up. They dont need insipid gifts.
id say just being there for support and having someone to talk to is more then what you could buy her
Card, flowers and support
A card and flowers should suffice.
