How to Safely Send Your Inclusions
MILK
Amount Needed:
Send 2 teaspoons per piece of jewelry (please do not send more than 1 ounce, as storage space is limited).
If you have a low milk supply and are worried about the amount needed, please reach out here. Together, we can decide on an amount that feels right for you while still allowing me to create your special keepsake.
Even just a few drops can hold a lifetime of meaning.
Milk Type:
Fresh, thawed, frozen, or expired milk all work — just make sure it is not moldy.
**Special Note: Please do not send your very last drops of milk. While rare, items can be lost in the mail or a preservation error can occur, and I’d never want you to lose something so precious.
If Frozen:
Allow milk to thaw before packaging to reduce condensation inside the bags.
Packaging:
1. Triple-bag your milk using zip-closure bags only.
2. Squeeze out excess air from each bag to reduce the risk of leaks.
3. Place the bagged milk in a waterproof bubble mailer or small flat-rate shipping box (preferred) for extra protection.
4. Clearly label the outside of the bag with your name, invoice number, and which piece each milk sample is for (if sending multiple).
NOTES:
- Shipping address will be provided after check out
- Do not require a signature for delivery.
- Include your full name and return address on the package.
- Request tracking from the carrier and keep your receipt until delivery is confirmed.
ASHES
Amount Needed:
Send 1 teaspoon per piece of jewelry.
Packaging:
1. Place ashes in a small, sealed bag or container
2. Place inside a padded envelope or small flat-rate box.
** Any unused ashes will be carefully returned to you with your completed piece.
