Pet Memorial Gift Ideas That Keep Their Memory Close

Losing a pet leaves a very specific kind of quiet. A memorial gift won't fill it, but it can give a friend (or you) a place to put the love that's still there. These are the keepsakes our customers choose most often, and what to think about for each.

1. A portrait hoop for the wall

A custom pet portrait hoop is the most "memorial" piece we make: your pet's face, stitched from a photo and framed in a wooden hoop that can hang on a wall or stand on a shelf. It's easy to give because it doesn't depend on anyone's clothing size.

2. A sweatshirt or t-shirt to wear

Some people want to carry their pet with them rather than look at them on a wall. A custom pet sweatshirt or t-shirt puts a small embroidered portrait on the chest, the kind of detail that starts conversations about the pet you miss. We can stitch up to two pets on one shirt, lovely for a home that had two companions.

3. A hat for everyday walks

A custom pet dad hat is a quieter choice: soft 100% cotton with an adjustable strap, for the walks you used to take together.

4. A patch for a jacket, bag or memory box

A custom pet patch can go almost anywhere. If a friend's pet was a common breed, our ready-made dog and cat breed patches make a lovely small gesture too.

Timing

Each memorial piece is drawn and embroidered to order in our Saigon studio, so please allow about 15–25 days for delivery to the US (Europe about 5 days more). For an anniversary or birthday, order a few weeks ahead.

A short handwritten note often means as much as the gift itself. "I know how much you loved them" is enough.
