NOTICE
MANUFACTURING NOTICE:
SECOND PRINTING AUTHORIZED
Reserve your production package and help permanently reduce the retail price of the Anti-Stress Deck to $15.
Apparently, there are more emotionally exhausted people than anticipated.
After the response to the first run of the Begrudgingly Grateful Anti-Stress Deck, we're officially opening production for a second printing.
This is not a crowdfunding campaign.
It is a production run.
The first run was intentionally small.
This production run is designed to be large enough that we can permanently reduce the retail price from $30 to $15.
The goal is simple: print enough decks that I can permanently lower the retail price and get them into more hands without every order feeling like a tiny logistical crisis.
If we hit our production target, I plan to make $15 the standard retail price for the Anti-Stress Deck. That's been the goal from the beginning.
Every preorder helps move us closer to that point.
Production Packages
Citizen Kit — $20
You'll receive:
Physical Begrudgingly Grateful Anti-Stress Deck (Second Printing)
Digital Deck Duo: Anti-Stress Deck & Affirmation Deck
Resident Citizen Kit — $30
Everything above, plus:
30 Days of Attempted Optimism Under Duress
The first official Begrudgingly Grateful journal.
Think of it as the Bureau's recommended onboarding paperwork.
Why now?
Larger print runs dramatically reduce manufacturing costs.
Instead of ordering small batches every few months, I'd rather produce enough that the deck becomes permanently more affordable while also helping fund the first physical printing of the Affirmation Deck.
Every preorder helps accomplish both.
You get your deck.
Future Citizens pay less.
Everyone wins reluctantly.
