notes from our founder, Lauren

what fuels us (besides iced coffee)

While we love babies, our focus is on mamas and mamas in waiting. We believe every woman deserves to feel seen, supported, cared for, and less alone on her motherhood journey - whatever that may look like.

We help you show up for the women in your life with thoughtfully curated care packages designed for every stage of motherhood.

how it all started

My husband and I struggled with infertility before our first 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.

During such a vulnerable time, when I felt I only existed to take care of someone else, my sister-in-law made me feel so seen and supported. And I wanted every woman to experience that feeling - no matter where she was on her journey of motherhood.

Cue, brooksybox.

things we care about (& you may, too)

intentional gifting.

No Google searches, no Target runs, no stress. You want to show up for her - but you may not know what to send. That's where we come in. Every brooksybox is intentionally curated to care for her right now, personalized with your message, wrapped beautifully, and shipped right to her door.

clean, safe ingredients.

We make sure you can send it to her - worry free. We only select products with clean, safe ingredients for her (& baby). All products in our care packages are free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and dyes. No disrupting hormones here.

supporting women-owned, small businesses.

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 is exclusively sourced from, or created in collaboration with, women-owned businesses, 94% being small businesses. So when you send a brooksy, you're supporting a ton of women - and that's pretty awesome.

our name

Well, I'm sure you've guessed it by now! Our firstborn's name is Brooks - and one of my favorite nicknames for him is Brooksy.

The name brooksybox symbolizes my journey with Brooks - from fertility treatments, to a high-risk pregnancy, a complicated delivery, and navigating my role as a first-time mama.

And now, brooksybox is my way of helping you give the women in your life what my sister-in-law gave me - the feeling of someone showing up for her when she needs you most.
