What this is

A boxed selection for a young child who has lost someone, including a book chosen to help an adult start the conversation. Contents are things a child can hold, use or do, rather than things to be put on a shelf. Packed by hand with your handwritten card, and shipped within Canada. Delivery can be held for a date you choose. Available anywhere in Canada.

What's included

  • A curated box chosen for a young child
  • A children's book about loss
  • Packed by hand
  • Fare-Well handwritten card with your message
  • Shipping within Canada included
  • A handwritten Fare-Well card with your message, and a memorial birdseed ornament.
  • Your card and ornament are posted separately, so something still arrives at the door.

Why we chose this

Adults get stuck on what to say to a child about a death, and the silence is worse than clumsy words. Putting a book in the box gives the adult a script, which is the actual gift here.
