After sending thousands of deployment countdown boxes to motivated military spouses around the world we’ve learned one thing: deployment can be overwhelming but it can also be beautiful with the right perspective! Between counting days and managing life on the home front, it can be easy to find ourselves obsessed with how quickly (or slowly) time is moving forward- but the truth is that there is still beauty even in the midst of this season of separation, and that includes moments big and small that we can CHOOSE to celebrate!
This month Brave Crate is celebrating three years of counting down deployments with some of the best military spouses around, and we’re taking our own advice by making intentional time to honor the moment with our Celebrate! themed box. This month’s box includes some of our favorite brands featured in Brave Crate throughout the past few years and even a few fan-favorite products that our community has been begging to see again! Our hope is that everything inside of this month’s countdown box will inspire you to celebrate all of life’s little moments of joy, even as we count down to homecoming!
