nappy cakes

[little*red]

hey ladies,
i hope all your pregnancys are going well.
just popped in here for a bit of advice.
Ok basically as we use cloth nappies for Evie, any disposables which people gave us have gone to waste. We have a 46 pack of huggies which would be wasteful to through away (and we dont know anyone with a young baby).
So my DH's boss is due a baby (well his wife is) around about january, and i was thinking i ould maybe make one of those nappy ckaethings as a gift for them?
So what i wanted to know is, would you be pleased if someone gave you one of these as a gift? I'd put in it 46 nappys, a blanket, some sleepsuits, bibs, booties, mittens, a hat, a teddy and maybe someother baby bits and bobs, in either pink or blue (they dont knwo the sex yet but are hoping to find out) or neutral if baby keeps it a surprise.

here is a picture of an example if you dont know what im talkin about :

any feedback would be greatly appreciated .

they are usually really expensive in shops and they're always really good cos it's stuff that looks nice as well as being practical - so I would give your idea a big thumbs up

I think it's a great idea - may even have a go at one myself for my cousin who is due in a week or so's time.

Are they made from hat boxes, filled and covered in tissue paper? How do you attach each box to the next one Really lovely idea

Hi, the picture you have put up is a Nappy Cake from a company in the UK called Sweet Baby Cakes. I only know as I've seen the exact one at a Baby Shower!!

I've seen a few other at friends baby showers and this is easily the best, when you see how they are put together, with all the high quality ingredients you would be hard pushed to make one cheaper.......defo worth checking out their site as they have loads of designs.....and fast delivery.

My friend ordered one and had it hand made and delivered within 7 days......they even have one with Champagne in it!!

Have a look at www.sweetbabycakes.co.uk
