Have you ever wondered how you can show support for a grieving pet parent? There are a few ways to show you care and support a bereaved pet parent, and it can go beyond a hug or sending a sympathy card. You can send a thoughtful bereavement gift.
You may be wondering, “ Is there such a thing?”
Yes, there is.
I previously wrote a post about great gift ideas for pet parents you can find on Amazon. However, today I thought it would be a good idea to share a gift idea from my Impurrfectlife Art Studio Redbubble shop.
Redbubble dot com provides a platform for independent artists and creators to share and sell their designs and artwork to the public. With options from stationery, home decor, phone accessories, apparel, totes, and more, there are hundreds of options to choose from to suit any occasion.
Today, I will share an unboxing of a Redbubble throw I ordered with my own funds directly from my shop. Here is my honest review as an artist and consumer.
7 Collections and over 100+ designs to choose from
- Bereavement/Sympathy Collection
- Love Collection
- Black Art/Afrocentric Collection
- Humor/Sarcasm Collection
- Animal Lover Collection
- Words of Wisdom/Inspiration Collection
- All (Collective)
Let’s take a look.
Choosing a design
As I mentioned, Redbubble has thousands of independent creators and artists on its platform to share their expressive creativity. For the animal lovers out there, be sure to check out my favorite Redbubble artists I’m loving right now.
My shop features seven different collections, but I decided to order a medium size throw of my popular original design, “ You were my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye.”
My order arrived in about ten days. The great thing about Redbubble is they ship worldwide and offer online customer service support to handle any questions or issues. I also appreciate that you get notifications when your order is shipped and arrives at your door.
As a creator and blogger, it is nice to use this third party to handle the printing, shipping, and customer service so I can focus on making new designs and creating new artwork. Plus, there is no additional inventory to worry about taking up space at home.
Package Unboxing
When the throw arrived, it came in a plastic red and white packaging with the Redbubble logo. Most of the products that come from Redbubble come in this fashion. It makes it easy to spot when retrieving.
Once I carefully cut open the package and looked at the throw, I was very pleased. The printing of the lettering and design was clear and looked nice. The stitching on the throw was good. The quality and softness of the blanket were buttery soft.
I ordered the medium-size throw. The sizes are available as follows. The pricing starts around $27 USD and up, depending on the size ordered.
- Small – 40 inch x 30 inch
- Medium – 60 inch x 50 inch
- Large – 80 inch x 60 inch
To give you some perspective, I’m about 5 foot 4 inches, and when the throw is laid on top of me, the throw reaches from my feet to my rib cage area. So if you want the full burrito experience, I’d recommend the large size.
Final Verdict
To recap my red bubble unboxing, the throw that arrived is super soft and of good quality. It had great stitching, and I know this would make for a great gift idea for a pet parent.
The shipping is worldwide and reliable. My shop, along with many others, offers a wide array of selections and designs to choose from. You can choose from pillowcases and aprons to notebooks, mugs, and more.
Overall as a consumer, I’d give this experience two thumbs up.
Final thoughts
I hope you enjoy this little unboxing so you can get a preview of my Impurrfectlife Redbubble shop or see what Redbubble offers. Hopefully, this review will help give you additional resources and ideas to share with someone special in your life.

I love hearing how an order went and what to expect when you know something is on the way. I ordered a laptop cover from your shop last year and YES it arrived well wrapped in a red bag! But seeing something substantial like a cosy throw was an eye opener – it’s beautiful!!!

Oh, Kamira! You’re so talented!!!! I love the blanket! It looks absolutely lovely! My theory is you can never have enough blankets. I’d never thought about a bereavement gift before now. This would be absolutely perfect! I just checked out your Red Bubble store. WOW!!! I’ll be back for sure! I’ve got my eyes on a few items. Really LOVE the Rainy Days print. I’m sharing your talent with all my pet parents!

This sounds like a great option for any pet parent that is searching for a special way to memorialize their furry friend. while we haven’t lost a pet in the recent past, 4 of our 5 pets are now seniors. So, this is something that we think about quite regularly. We’d love to find ways, like this, to memorialize the pets that mean so much to us.

Britt,

That is a beautiful blanket and I always loved that saying. I can imagine wrapping that around oneself could be so comforting. What a great idea to unpack it live, too! I have always thought about creating products and wondered if the products come out nice. This is truly so lovely. Thanks for sharing the unwrapping! Pinning for others to see. 🙂
