Hi, I’m Audrey.

This all started because of my beautiful Golden Retriever, Bella.

When I lost her last year, the silence in my house was deafening. To keep my mind busy, I bought a simple mug and had Bella’s face printed on it. It sounds small, but holding that mug with her goofy smile made my mornings feel a little less lonely; it felt like she was still there with me.

The "lightbulb moment" happened when a friend, who had also just lost his pet, saw the mug and told me, "Audrey, I need one of those too." That’s when it clicked: I wasn't the only one looking for a way to keep a piece of my heart close. I decided to build Vaneo Gifts™ right then and there. I moved from mugs to these acrylic memorials because I love how they catch the light, it feels bright and happy, just like our dogs were.

I’m not a big corporation. It’s just me and a small team trying to help you keep your best friend’s memory alive. If you’re here because you’re hurting too, I just want you to know: I truly get it.

Thank you for letting me be a small part of your journey.

Best,

Audrey
