17-category checklist

The family kit without the packing-table problem.

This is built as a buyer guide first, not a box we pretend to ship. Each category can point to trusted affiliate products now, then graduate into a verified dropship bundle later.

Fulfillment rule

If a product has safety, medical, food, warranty, battery, or filtration claims, the manufacturer should handle payment, shipping, support, and returns until a supplier gives Brothers Homestead written dropship terms.
