A meaningful alternative to sympathy flowers

When you can’t be there to hug them, send one.

The patented BoxFull Hug opens with long arms that reach out from the box—delivering comfort they can hold onto long after flowers fade.

See the hug happen

Watch the box open and the bear’s long arms reach out—turning an ordinary delivery into a hug they can feel.

A recent order contained the message:  I hope you can use this bear to hold, hug, or cry into whenever you're missing your mom. ❤️

This is EXACTLY why BoxFull was created - you can't hold, hug, or cry into flowers.

A hug, delivered

When the box opens, the bear’s long arms attached to the flaps extend for an immediate hug. We include a special poem card and print your personal message on the back, so they know exactly who is holding them close.

"If only my sender could fit in this box,
they'd give you a bear hug that knocks off you socks.  
Alas, they've sent me, 
to be here to squeeze 
please do so whenever you need."

The story behind the BoxFull HUG

I understand loss. 

I was nine when I lost my mom to breast cancer, so I know how deeply grief can change someone’s world.

That grief doesn’t disappear after the flowers are gone—and that often, there are simply no words. So many gestures can feel temporary or not meaningful enough for the weight of what someone is going through.

Years later, a close friend lost her mother during the pandemic. I couldn’t be there to wrap my arms around her, and I remember thinking, “Flowers feel so empty, I really wish i could just send her a hug.”

So I created one.

BoxFull exists to help people show up for someone they love, even when they can’t be there in person. It gives them something comforting to hold onto—a lasting reminder that they are loved.

Every BoxFull Hug is made to help someone feel loved, remembered and a little less alone.

— Jennifer, founder of BoxFull
