Everything Inside of the January Brave Crate!!
There’s tired… and then there’s deployment tired. While you countdown to homecoming there are plenty of reasons that you may not be getting through sleep to keep your body well-rested. Between the overwhelm of a deployment-level-busy-schedule and the difficulty of sleeping without the one we love next to us, it’s no surprise that so many of us site “trouble sleeping” as our top challenge during deployments.
But- from one formerly sleep-deprived military spouse to another: it does not have to be that way! This month the Brave Crate community is getting our sleep routines in check with our Sweet Dreams theme!
Whether you’re struggling to relax, missing your spouse or just getting lost in the Netflix-vortex at bedtime, this box is filled with what we need to create bedtime habits that help us drift into dreamland. I hope that everything inside this months Brave Crate inspires you to wake up refreshed and crush your deployment countdown goals!

STUD candle by Freedom Found Co.
If you’ve ever worn your spouse’s shirt during deployment because it “smelled like them” this candle is for you! Get through those missed pre-bed-time cuddle moments with this wood wick candle. Smells like: Channing Tatum, Aqua Di Gio, Cedar and Leather
“Pillow Talk” DIY Pillow Case
If WE miss having time for “pillow talk” before bed, we know our spouses do too! Designed exclusively for Brave Crate subscribers, this DIY pillowcase is the perfect way to send some “pillow talk” to your spouse during deployment!
Lavender Aromatherapy Eye Pillow by Celestial Sews
Struggle to “turn off” at the end of the day? Try this aromatherapy eye pillow, filled with a generous combination of natural dried lavender buds and whole flax seeds. Heat it up or chill it before you spend a few moments enjoying the relaxing aroma of lavender. Definitely our favorite way to end a long day!
Acrylic Paint Markers
Access your inner-artist with these brilliant paint markers. Perfect for glass, wood, canvas, stone and fabric (like your DIY Pillow Case!) These super vibrant markers can take on even your most ambitious deployment projects. Can’t sleep? Try crafting instead!
