Because of this, Tukios released [Send Hugs](https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tukios.com%2Fsendhugs&t=ODE2NGZjNjExYzc3Y2MxZGI0ZDU4OGU1ZDkzNDJiZmJjMGRkYzczYSxwdTRGeUc4Sw%3D%3D&b=t%3At5i2S9HlB4ghnhkVmeGs0g&p=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.tukios.com%2Fpost%2F622457913104121856%2F10-different-occasions-to-use-send-hugs&m=0&ts=1600802766) as a way to bring us closer together during this difficult time. Here are 10 ways you can use it to celebrate your loved ones.    **1. Funeral Condolences** Send Hugs was initially made to be able to send condolences, memories, and well-wishes to the family members of a loved one who has passed away. It’s a wonderful way for people to be able to express how they feel if they aren’t able to attend a funeral in person. ![image](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5d9d123d7067499ad76808f9e8412af7/76b4d7ec6e7b0a98-a5/s500x750/46208ce3ce3ae9df8b57e6ac3bc4b34248d232df.jpg) *Photo by[ Mayron Oliveira](https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Funsplash.com%2F%40m4yron%3Futm_source%3Dunsplash%26utm_medium%3Dreferral%26utm_content%3DcreditCopyText&t=YTdmZjlhNGIzNGJjOTExNTMxMjlhNjVlOWNiZjVlYzJkMDlkMGRhYyxwdTRGeUc4Sw%3D%3D&b=t%3At5i2S9HlB4ghnhkVmeGs0g&p=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.tukios.com%2Fpost%2F622457913104121856%2F10-different-occasions-to-use-send-hugs&m=0&ts=1600802766) on Unsplash*   **2. Birthday Wishes** If you want to plan a meaningful (and super easy) surprise for a friend or family member, setting up a SendHugs link will let everyone wish them a Happy Birthday. Have everyone contributing to the hug share their favorite memory or an invitation for an in person celebration once they are able to get together again.   ![image](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2d9bb2189a0d4d9c7b51ce45be4c1683/76b4d7ec6e7b0a98-4b/s500x750/ebfbb45780729814886995f07c5427b45ed9ee34.jpg) *Photo by[ Jess Bailey](https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Funsplash.com%2F%40jessbaileydesigns%3Futm_source%3Dunsplash%26utm_medium%3Dreferral%26utm_content%3DcreditCopyText&t=NWJiY2ZlODlmMGFhN2Q1MDQ2Y2NlZWI3ODAzZjU2YThhYTg5NzQzNixwdTRGeUc4Sw%3D%3D&b=t%3At5i2S9HlB4ghnhkVmeGs0g&p=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.tukios.com%2Fpost%2F622457913104121856%2F10-different-occasions-to-use-send-hugs&m=0&ts=1600802766) on Unsplash*   **3.
