notes from our founder, Lauren
what fuels us (besides coffee)
While we love babies, our focus is on Mamas and future Mamas. Every woman deserves to be celebrated and feel seen, supported, cared for and less alone through their journey - whatever that may look like.
We're here to help you support women on their journey of motherhood with quality gifts promoting self-care at every stage.
how it all started
My husband and I struggled with infertility before our little miracle was born through IVF. The journey was mentally, physically, emotionally (and financially) exhausting.
After our son was born, all the focus was on him. (I mean, I get it. He's a cutie.) But when my sister-in-law first came to meet him, she gave me a basket of items that cared for me and my recovery.
Let's just say I was blown away. I remember being SO grateful (and tearing up - ohh, hormones). I thought, “WHY have I never done this for a Mama before?” I was always the one getting just another outfit for the baby.
My sister-in-law made me feel seen and supported. I wanted every woman to experience this feeling - no matter where she was on her journey.
Cue, brooksybox.
things we care about (& you may, too)
supporting women-owned.
After all, our business literally exists to support women. Sourcing from small, women-owned businesses is important to us. Every single product in our gift boxes are sourced from, or created in collaboration with, women-owned businesses. So when you send a brooksy, you're supporting a ton of women - and that's pretty awesome.
effortless, but personalized gifting.
Does “I just want to find that perfect gift to support her and let her know I care” ring a bell? And you’re not sure what to get - or even know what she needs right now.
While we love a good Target run (and going down the research rabbit hole) - you’re busy. You want to easily send something, knowing it’s something she’ll need - and that it’s safe for her (& baby).
We’ve thoughtfully created gifts designed for the stage she’s in on her journey - and you can send them in just a few clicks.
connecting & empowering.
The journey of motherhood is a series of highs and lows, smiles and cries, pure joy and sadness all at the same time. (And cravings - lots of cravings.) We feel all the feels right there with ya.
our name
Well, I'm sure you've guessed it by now! Our son’s name is Brooks - and one of my favorite nicknames for him is Brooksy.
The name brooksybox symbolizes my journey of Brooks. From fertility treatments, to a high risk pregnancy, a complicated delivery experience, and navigation of my new (favorite) role as Mama.
And now we're here to help you provide self-care for those you love. To be a reminder for all women on their journey of motherhood, that taking care of herself is just as important as taking care of others.
