A Baby Gift


opening the gift
my younger brother will soon be a father for the first time
so we put together a special gift for them
but a little bit about their life first

  • they live in a trailer (no crib or changing table)
  • aren't "sure" if the baby is a boy or girl... hmmm!
  • are a bit more green than the average people (in other words "eco-conscious")

keeping all of those things in mind we made them a eco-friendly, gender neutral, transportable changing station!

it includes newborn essentials like a clean onsie, my favortie aiden and anis gauze blanket, alcohol swabs for the umbilical cord, vaseline and q-tips (in the unlikely event that they have a boy), organic nursing pads and bamboo burp cloth, pba free pacifier and cute clip, unbleached, biodegradable diapers and wipes, a fun wipes travel case in a japanese frog print, reclaimed wool baby bonnet, twig print changing pad, sencha and a few crunchy granola bar type snacks, etc.

the kids and I had so much fun putting everything together

they helped choose prints and snacks and practiced putting everything on their dolls

our hope is that she will just be able to stick it on a shelf somewhere and feel like she has everything she need for the first little while

here it is half full
