Care packages for the wait, for loss, and for the person going through it beside you.
Candles, affirmation decks, teas, and comfort goods from Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian makers. Nothing in a box predicts an outcome, and nothing is baby-adjacent unless you ask for it.
Each box is curated around one emotional stage, with items from Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian creators. You choose the candle scent; the rest is intentional.
For the two-week wait, the stims, the endless scans. Comfort for a body tired of being poked, and nothing at all that predicts the ending.
$79 + shippingCleansing comfort for loss at any week. Tea, warmth, and quiet ritual, with nothing baby-adjacent inside.
$79 + shippingFor the person holding it together while nobody asks how they are. Something good, and one small permission to fall apart.
$79 + shippingFertility and infertility affirmations written for people of color.
A smaller send, for when a whole box is more than the moment needs.
A candle and a slow evening, which is sometimes the entire plan.
For clinic days, when you are carrying more than paperwork.
The most common question we get, so here is the short answer.
Give the body something. Comfort goods that ask nothing in return — tea, a candle, socks, a soak — land far better than advice.
Skip the ending. Nothing that predicts an outcome. Not "just relax," not "it will happen." Name the hard thing instead.
Say you are staying. "I am sorry. I am here. I am not going anywhere." That is the whole card.
Every box is assembled from small businesses owned by Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian makers — the candle pourers, tea blenders, and herbalists we actually buy from ourselves.
Proceeds keep the library, the directory, and the support-group listings free to use. A share goes back to the makers on every order.
Yes, with a personalized note added at checkout, so you do not have to find the words.
You choose the candle scent, and a note if it is a gift. The rest stays as curated — the intention is part of the healing. Special requests: care@oshungriot.com.
