Packing a $100+ small biz order with me 💌
$100+ small business to small business support 🎀✨
One of my favorite parts of running Dreydaway is connecting with other women building their dreams too. A fellow business owner placed a 5-item order and I packed it with so much intention — pink mailer, fragile stickers, thank-you cards, and even a handwritten note 💌
Moments like this remind me that it’s never just a package. It’s trust, community, and mutual support between dreamers trying to build something meaningful.
To my fellow pink collar girly, thank you for trusting my brand to be part of yours 🫶🏽
Big dreams. Bigger business. 💕

Packing orders with care is one of the most meaningful parts of running a small business that I’ve experienced. When you send a product to a fellow entrepreneur, it’s not just about shipping an item; it’s about building a relationship and fostering a community of support. For instance, when I packed a $100+ order that included five items from my lip gloss and lip liner collections, I made sure to include elements that would make it feel personal and special. Using a pink mailer that represents my brand’s feminine and fun aesthetic instantly puts a smile on both the sender’s and receiver’s face. Adding fragile stickers ensures the products are handled with care during delivery, which reassures customers that the sender is mindful of their purchase. But beyond the practical steps, the personal touches like handwritten thank-you notes carry so much emotional weight, making customers feel seen and valued. It’s a small action that transforms a simple package into a memorable moment of connection. From my experience, supporting other small businesses is about mutual trust and encouragement. Many women-owned and Black-owned businesses are creating beautiful, meaningful products that deserve recognition and appreciation. When you shop small and pack with intention, you help keep this circle of support alive. This sense of solidarity underlines that we're all on a journey to build something bigger together; it's never just about the transaction. The products I shipped, like the DREYDAWAY X PRELUDE lip glosses that glow or the Linings That Define lip liners, aren’t just cosmetics but expressions of confidence and creativity designed for those who dare to dream. Taking care in packing these items reflects the same passion and quality that goes into making them. It also shows that even in the little things—choosing a bright, protective mailer or writing a heartfelt note—small business owners can create lasting impressions and build communities that go beyond commerce. If you’re looking to elevate your own packaging and customer experience, consider how intentional touches can add value. Whether it’s branded mailers, eco-friendly packaging, or personal messages, these details amplify your brand’s story and deepen connections with customers. In doing so, you contribute to a thriving small business ecosystem where trust and mutual support are the foundation of success.
Reminders like this keep me going — grateful for every order, every supporter, and every dream in progress 💕
