New Baby Real Nappy Gift Pack

More and more parents are making the switch to real nappies but the up-front cost can be a little hard to find.

You can help spread the love of cloth nappies by giving a funky real nappy and matching wet bag as a new baby present.

Baba + Boo pocket nappies are a birth to potty nappy made from super soft minky fabric complete with 2 inserts.

The boosters simply slide into the pocket and the nappy is put on and off just like a disposable, ideal for time strapped new parents.

They are super simple to use too – just adjust the size of the nappy using the poppers – so easy even sleep-deprived daddies can manage it.

This set comes with a matching wet bag to store nappies in when out and about – a truly lasting new baby present.

And best of all, they currently have 20% off at The Natural Nursery, making the set of nappy and wet bag just £11.40 including UK postage.

Amber Teething Necklaces

Amber Teething Necklaces

Baltic amber has been used for centuries to provide gentle, natural relief from painful teething in babies.

These unisex amber teething necklaces are made from 100% Baltic amber, widely believed to have the most therapeutic benefits, and are designed to be worn by teething babies and toddlers.

The warmth of the baby’s skin triggers the amber to release its natural oils, providing an analgesic that will calm baby and relieve the pain of the teething process.

The amber is mined in the Baltic region and shaped by hand before being polished with small pieces of wood to create a smooth, light-weight necklace.

The amber promotes fast healing and boosts the immune system. It also aids the reduction of acidity in the body, swollen gums, nappy rash and fevers.

Available from The Natural Nursery in a range of colours, these amber baby necklaces currently have 10% off, making them £12.59 including free UK postage.

TGF Likes…Wonderoos Pocket Nappy Full Kit

Brenda — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 08:00:08 +0000

Today TGF likes…the Wonderoos Pocket Nappy Full Kit. If you are thinking of using reusuable nappies for your newborn, this would make a lot of financial sense to buy a pack like this. Great idea to get a group of work colleagus or family members to each chip in and buy you this set, rather than receive lots of individual pressies that you may in reality not want or use!

The full kit includes:

15 x easy to use one size pocket nappies
15 x 2-in-1 booster inserts
15 x reusuable wipes
1 x pack of biodegradable liners
1 x fully reusuable large wet nappy bag.

All you need to take you from birth to potty in a cost effective way.

Available from Natural Nursery for £229.99.
