Sebastien's Sympathy Box

I created this line of sympathy products so hoomans who lose their doggos feel loved and have their tremendous loss acknowledged. And to honor their fur babies short and precious lives. Our signature sympathy box includes a handmade “this loss is so ruff” sympathy card, sympathy book, friend for always dog journal, fur-get me not seeds to plant in memorial, furever loved candle and “light of my life” matches, and an option to have a mini polaroid of the passed pup with name and angel wing graphic.

I also have two smaller gift bundles available….our custom furever loved candle with light of my life matches and our handmade fur-get me not seed packet. Both come with our sympathy card and a custom mini polaroid of the pup.

You can also buy our candle and our fur-get me not seed packet individually.

Xoxo,

Sebastien’s mom

Sympathy Gifts for hoomans

to honor their beloved doggo

Gud Bois get 5 star reviews!

There are so many items that tailor to the loss of humans, which are absolutely necessary and appreciated. However, to have something specific to the loss of a dog, who is also a cherished member of the family, I think, has been missing and VERY much needed. After spending a lot of time looking for what I can send, I came across this and was in shock… this is perfect!!!!! After losing beloved dogs myself, this box is absolutely thoughtful and heartwarming. You were great to work with! Thank you for creating your company!

My close friend's just lost their beloved Barkley. I didn't want to send a typical gift basket with snacks/food. I wanted something more personal. So I researched to find what spoke to my heart. The "Dear Hoomans" gift box touched my soul. Being able to include a picture of the beloved pet that Laura prints as a polaroid is so touching. Laura has such a wonderful gift and talent to share with all of us. Gift box went out immediately. Communication with Laura exceptional! My friends received their gift box and so very touched. They love it. They needed this. Thank you, Laura! Many Blessings to you!

This was such a wonderful gift for a friend. She loved the Polaroid so much. So many tears of joy for the photo. I loved this idea as it’s the most thoughtful gift you could give someone in mourning. There is so much comfort in each item. This entire box promotes a healthy way to handle grief. I wish there were more of this in the world. Thank you so much for sharing your love with the rest of us.

This was a really special gift to my friend who had to say goodbye to her golden retriever of 11 years. The owner and creator of this package was very attentive and sympathetic, which made purchasing the product that much more special. Very thoughtful and unique.

My friend recently lost her dog and we live far apart so I wanted to do something but didn’t know what. I found this and it seemed so thoughtful. Laura was wonderful to work with and made sure I was updated as she put the package together. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it was shipped and delivered as I’ve had not great experiences with Etsy vendors with that. My friend absolutely loved it and thought it was the most thoughtful gift. Would highly recommend to anyone dealing with the loss of a pet.

I got this for my sister after the passing of her pup. I was IN TEARS when I opened it, and she truly loved it. Thank you, Laura, for being so responsive and customizing the gift box for me. It was very special!

What’s in our signature box?​

Each signature sympathy box has a postcard from Sebastien as well as the following items: handmade “this loss is so ruff” sympathy card, sympathy book, friend for always dog journal, fur-get me not seeds to plant in memorial, furever loved candle and “light of my life” matches, and an option to have a mini polaroid of the passed pup with name and angel wing graphic.

I also have two smaller gift bundles available….our custom furever loved candle with light of my life matches … and our handmade fur-get me not seed packet. Both come with our sympathy card and a custom mini polaroid of the pup.

You can also buy our candle and our fur-get me not seed packet individually.

This Loss is so Ruff Sympathy Card:

Handmade and designed by Laura & Sebastien on thick luxurious card stock. This unique notecard has yummy blue trim around the body and just enough room to write a thoughtful custom message. We tuck the custom polaroid picture into the envelope for the sweetest ungifting experience.

Sympathy Book:

This book called “Read this till you believe it” offers statements of support and empathy for losses and difficulties of all kinds. It’s ideal for showing sympathy when the right words are hard to find. Most importantly it reminds you to honor your grief and be gentle with yourself. Something that can be especially hard when you lose a doggo.


Doggo Journal:​

Writing is a wonderful way to manage grief and this beautiful journal called “our friend for always” has plenty of lined pages to capture your thoughts & feelings of gratitude towards your sweet pup. It’s a great place to honor memories. And there are periodic quotations and illustrations about doggos that celebrate the joy and delight they bring to each day.

Furever loved candle & light of my life matches:


Lighting a yummy candle and enjoying aromatherapy is soothing and wonderful for the soul. And keeping a candle burning in remembrance of a loved doggo signifies their memory that lives on and shines bright forever. Our coastal candle was custom made from a female small batch artisan in Maine whose fragrances use a 

blend of pure essential oils & natural perfume grade oils that are ethically sourced. It’s one of the cleanest burning candle waxes out there….sustainable, vegan, and free of toxins and pesticides.

Scent is “coastal” with scent notes of citrus, coconut, vanilla, musk, sandalwood

Vibe: Seaside Zen

Fur-get me not seed packet

The Forget me not (Myosotis oblongata) is a delicate woodland flower and the true symbol of love. Each sympathy box includes a packet of fur-get me not seeds that represent the faithfulness, respect, and forever love we hold for a dog who goes before us. When planted in soil, they will bloom in memorial of the hoomans beloved doggo.

Mini Polaroid Pic of doggo

We print a mini polaroid pic of the passed doggo with their name and angel wing graphic. Hoomans can keep this picture in their pocket, wallet, use it as a bookmark, or put it in a mini frame. Their furry love can travel with them daily. Simply looking at a picture of our beloved doggo can lower stress levels and bring us peace and joy. Option to purchase additional photos for multiple family members.

The gift we hope you never need to give

Dedicated to Sebastien from his hooman:

Our sympathy gifts are dedicated to my little bear Sebastien. Thank you for teaching me all the things I didn’t understand before spending my life with you. How to show up with love, take time for play, and approach each day with a tenacious & resilient spirit. I learned how to be my happiest self from watching you live.

You give me peace and purpose and unexpected laughs. You show me how good it feels to love someone fiercely and how much better it is to be responsible for someone than free. Taking care of you is such a blessing to me.

And you introduced me to wonderful friends & helped me create a community.

The only thing I have yet to learn from you, is how to one day let you go.

Because not having you by my side is unimaginable to me, I knew others felt the same.

And we had to create something to honor this tremendous loss and our doggos…who bless us with their short and precious lives.

The thing I’m most grateful for is you.

I’m forever yours,

Mom
