Briseis Gifts A brand in memory of my daughter. Her gift was art. Now her legacy gives back. Each piece features her artwork and each sale supports her favorite causes. Voila!

When you purchase a Briseis Gift, you give a gift to the world. Enjoy 20% off your your first order. Briseis Gifts is an incredibly special collaboration between me and my daughter in spirit, created to honor her legacy and give back to causes that matter most to us. A BRIGHT AND CREATIVE SOUL
Briseis was a bright, talented, deeply creative soul — the best daughter and the best of humans. She was

kind, compassionate, joyful, and generous, with a deep love and appreciation for animals and nature. Although her time was short, she lived a very full life, always up for an adventure, learning something new, and bringing joy to those around her. She was an artist, clothing designer, jewelry maker, singer, dancer, academic scholar, and world traveler. At age 23, she passed from a rare cancer, leaving behind many beautiful creations. A LEGACY OF CREATIVITY AND COMPASSION
In her final days, we had several deep conversations where she questioned if her life’s purpose had been fulfilled. I reassured her that art was her gift to the world and her purpose was to bring generosity and joy through creativity. Her legacy now lives on through gifts that give back. Every item we offer features her artwork and is designed by me. This is my way of honoring her life and her beautiful spirit. A MISSION PROMISED
People often said Briseis and I were like twins. We shared clothes, mannerisms, and a deep passion for helping animals, people, and the planet. Over the years, we rescued animals together and volunteered for environmental causes. And sadly, we both experienced cancer. These three missions, caring for animals, protecting the earth, and supporting those in need, have always been close to our hearts. Until her last breath, Briseis put others and the world around her first. In those last hours, I made her a promise to continue this work in her honor. It is a privilege to keep that promise by giving back, with a portion of sales going to animals, the environment and cancer research, through her beautiful gift of art. OUR LOGO
I created our logo with intention, love, and Briseis’ own touch. It was important to me that I used her handwriting, so the letters you see are truly written by her. But the 'B' is extra special. Briseis was known for drawing hearts on everything, and one day it occurred to me, a heart turned on its side looks just like a B. (I know Briseis helped me with that one.) I combed through her art to find the perfect heart. And now, it’s the beginning of Briseis Gifts and the heart of everything we do. MORE THAN A GIFT SHOP
Briseis Gifts is more than an online gift shop — it’s a tribute and a way to share her gift and continue her purpose through a platform for giving back. As part of our mission, we support charitable causes close to our hearts: animals, the environment, and cancer research. I truly thank you for being here and supporting this heartfelt mission.

Today I'd love to introduce you to someone very special. Meet Briseis the Hedgehog. 🦔💚

But let me share how we got here. Briseis absolutely adored hedgehogs and dreamed of one day visiting a hedgehog café in Japan after she recovered. Sadly, that trip never came.

As Briseis' time grew short, her dad and grandmother searched everywhere, hoping someone might be willing to bring a hedgehog to the hospital and make one last dream come true.

One incredible person said yes.

Becki from Wild Things Wildlife dropped everything to bring two rescued hedgehogs, Pixie and Gizmo, to visit Briseis.

With the help of her nurses, we wheeled Briseis' hospital bed outside, where Pixie and Gizmo were gently placed on her lap.

Briseis couldn't take her eyes off them.

It was beautiful, sacred, and one of the most precious moments our family will ever hold.

Briseis passed away the following morning.

Now, two years later, Becki reached out with another surprise.

Their sanctuary had rescued a hedgehog and asked if they could name this tiny baby Briseis.

Of course, the answer was a joyful, tearful, "Yes."

Seeing this little rescue carrying her name is a priceless gift of love and healing. My mama heart is full of gratitude and I believe my daughter is beaming with joy.

As part of our give back mission, we've made a donation to Wild Things to help them continue caring for rescued wildlife. You can see the wonderful work they're doing at: wildthingsoutreach.org

I hope this story about kindness brings joy to your heart too. Thank you for your support. It continues to help animals in Briseis' honor.
