**Please send 1ozl of breastmilk as soon as you can (so you don’t forget!). Measure your milk in a measuring cup or bottle. We've found that the storage bags are often inaccurate. Sending more than 1ozl is *not* necessary, even if you've ordered more than one piece. Shipping your milk in breastmilk storage bags (as described below) is important. Brand new, sealed storage bags are sterile, preventing bacteria growth. Bottles and Ziploc bags are not sterile, and can produce mold. If you have less than 1oz, or ONLY have 15ml, reply to this email to see what your best options are—we can still figure it out! We do not want you to send your last drops of milk.

**The milk does not need to be kept cold and it can be old, non-edible milk that has been out too long or in the freezer too long--but we cannot accept milk that has mold. Thaw the milk first, if it has been frozen. Put the milk in a new breastmilk storage bag, being careful not to touch the inside of the bag with your fingers, making sure it's sealed tightly, and then place that milk in another breast milk storage bag, also sealed tightly. Place that bag in a heavy duty or freezer ziploc bag, also sealed tightly, and LABELED WITH YOUR FULL NAME AND ORDER NUMBER.

If you're shipping hair, We don't need much- place15-20 strands about an inch or two long is usually sufficient. Carefully fold the paper towel around the hair. Place inside a ziplock style bag that has been labeled with your name and order number. It is also helpful to add your child's name to the bag (EX: Charlotte's hair).

If you're shipping dehydrated and ground placenta, send about a teaspoon worth (or about 2 capsules). Place in a plastic baggie, labeled with "placenta powder", your name, and your order #.

If you'll be shipping cremation ashes, we don't need much. Please place about 1.5 tablespoons in a small plastic baggie and double or triple bag, making sure that all bags are sealed tightly. Label with your order # and order number. We will *always* treat your ashes with dignity, care, respect, and love; and will always return any unused ashes to you along with your jewelry.

If you’re shipping your baby’s umbilical cord stump, please grind it before shipping. Make sure it’s completely dry first, and then grind. You can use a food processor, blender, coffee grinder, Magic Bullet/Nutribullet, or mortar and pestle. Please double or triple bag in a Ziploc or small baggie. Label baggie with your name and order number.

If you're shipping flowers, *please* be sure the petals are completely dried before mailing unless speaking to me first about drying them with me. To do that please follow up with an email hellopenny@gpsartistry.com and there will be seperate fee of $30 that will be sent in response. If they are not, they may develop mold in transit and will be unusable. Double bag in a plastic Ziploc baggie. Label with your name and order #. Whatever is left over will be sent back with your order. 

If you are sending the cap to your pregancy test, please just sent cap labeled with name and order number. 

If you have something you would like to be preserved thats not listed, please send me an email hellopenny@gpsartistry.com
