How much breastmilk do I need to send?

Only 10-15mL of non-frozen breastmilk is required to make 1- 2 tablespoons of breastmilk powder.

Breastmilk should be thawed before sending so that it does not cause condensation on your packaging .

Breastmilk should be sent in a milk storage bag such as lansiloh, medela etc with your name and order number on it within two additional ziplocks to reduce the chance of spillage.

Then it can be placed in a mailing envelope to send! No cooling is needed as it does not matter if the breastmilk expires before arrival.

How much of my loved one's ashes / dried umbilical cord / dried placenta or sand/soil do I need to send?

The size of a pencil eraser or a little more is enough for 1 jewellery piece (ring or necklace).

Please send within a ziplock with your name and order number on the bag.

Please never send all of your keepsake (ie. - whole umbilical cord) in the event that somehow mail is lost in transit.

How many dried flower petals should I send?

One to two flower petals are needed for one keepsake.

Flower petals should be dried so that they do not decompose inside the resin and should be sent via mail in a ziplock with your name and order number on it.

Please do not send all of your flowers in the event your the mail is lost in transit.
