  • General Questions

    What  packs do you offer?

    Currently we have the Essential hospital pack but we aim to have various different packs for every stage of a parenting journey. This may include "pregnancy announcment packs" to "kids first birthday preparation packs". The sky is the limit. If you have any pack ideas or know of a pack that might be great to sell on Packed for Mama, please leave us a message.


    What makes Packed for Mama different from other parenting packs?

    We focus on eco-conscious practices, partner with sustainable brands, and include thoughtful extras like guides, samples, and discounts. Our goal is to provide parents with convenience and confidence as they navigate their journey. We also give parents the opportunity to sample products through our packs to make an informed decision going forward.
