Why did we start In Kind?
Our Founder Maria Berglund was frustrated with the lack of postpartum support moms receive in the United States, so she decided to do something about it. Our gift boxes are filled with natural and organic essentials for both mama and baby. At In Kind we believe that every mom deserves quality postpartum care. Together we are showing moms that they matter, and that they’re not alone.
Why shop with us?
- It’s the baby shower gift that gives back!
- For every gift box sold, we donate one to a mom in need. Conscious consumers can feel good knowing that their purchase is making a difference in the life of a postpartum mom in need.
- Our gift box is special because it’s a baby shower gift for moms too.
- The essentials included are to help moms feel supported on their postpartum journey.
- The products we include are what we found useful as new moms.
- We purchase them from fellow female founders, and local businesses whenever possible.
- Boxes are carefully curated to contain products that are natural and organic, with a low ranking on the EWG scale, so you know it’s safe for mama and baby.

When did we start?
We were officially founded on July 11, 2019. Our first gift boxes were available in November 2019.
Who are we?
In Kind was started by a board of four amazing moms, with 11 kids between us.
What’s in the box?
Our gift boxes are filled with several high quality essential items that we purchase. It is important for us to maintain quality and consistency of items. Every gift box, whether purchased or donated contains the same natural and organic products because we believe every mom deserves quality postpartum care.
How does it work?
When someone purchases a gift box, we donate a box to a mom in need.
We have partnered with some amazing local organizations who are already providing services to families. We donate gift boxes to our nonprofit partners, who distribute the boxes to mamas as needed.
We use a similar system for our Nationwide Gift Box Donation Program. However, we also have an open application for people to apply or nominate someone who could use our support.
