plain jane Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Are there any other creative ways to gift diapers to a new mom? A good friend of mine is having her first and I just happened to find 1/2 of a giant box of Huggies in my basement. The package is unopened but I would like to gift it in a nice, creative manner, if possible. I do know she is not going the cloth diaper route. :) What can I do with these diapers for her?

Rachel TX Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 stack and bundle them inside a receiving blanket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinchick Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I googled "creative diaper gift" and found a link to a cute wreath here: http://baby.about.com/od/welcomingbabyhome/ss/how-to-make-a-diaper-wreath.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I just saw an adorable diaper tricycle on Facebook. There are tutorial videos if you Google it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandylubug Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I personally didn't like using any diapers that were in cakes, wreaths or decorative shapes. I didn't like that they were opened, handled and possibly contaminated. I also was ocd about them being misshapened and didn't like them looking nonuniform. I personally would have enjoyed them as packaged. With diapering supplies would be nice. Eta: If I was gifting, I'd get a specialty color clothes basket, place diapers, baby detergent, and washes, lotions, creams, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Honestly, I would prefer the diapers be given in the unopened package. I would be annoyed at having to dismantle a diaper cake/wreath/whatever. Also the words "diaper" and "cake" do not belong together in my world. Blech.

Dory Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I made a diaper baby. Stuffed a sleeper (with hand covers) and put the hat on low and put a soother on the front. You can find how to videos on YouTube. It was pretty cute if I say so myself. I also put a couple things in a little diaper bag to go with her 'baby' that I made.

Tap Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would prefer they were still in the original package. Maybe just wrap them really cute or make a tower of gifts, with other similar shaped items all in coordinated wrapping paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlight Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 you could write words of encouragement on them with a sharpie for middle of the night diaper changes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Leave in original wrapping but put in a nice basket with a few other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Yell Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would prefer gifts of diapers in original packaging. Just wrap it in giftwrap or use a gift bag! The last thing (IMO) a new mom needs is cases of loose diapers that have been picked out of cutesey wreaths, cakes, and other things that have no business being made out of diapers. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto10blessings Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would also prefer it original package. Much easier to store when the diapers are still folded and compressed. You can always add some other essentials- wipes, diaper rash cream, baby soap, towel, baby medicine, or nail clippers, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Is the original package still ok if it is clear- it was half if a box that I never used when my last baby outgrew size 1. It's quite a big bag so I don't think I can find a basket that big at a reasonable price. It looks rather ... Lame ... The way it is. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeneralMom Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Honestly I wouldn't give it as a shower gift but tell her that you found it and would like to pass it on to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Honestly I wouldn't give it as a shower gift but tell her that you found it and would like to pass it on to her. She's not having a shower so this would just be a gift from me to her when I go visit them after they are home from the hospital. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender's green Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 There's a special circle of hell for people who make new mothers' lives difficult by doing funky things with diapers that are difficult to dismantle. ;) Also, I hate when they get misshapen and bulky. And I just can't allow my mind to think of people handling them and germs and... :ack2: (I get germophobic when I'm pregnant!) I would wrap the package up in a receiving blanket and secure it with a wide ribbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 She's not having a shower so this would just be a gift from me to her when I go visit them after they are home from the hospital. :) Perfect! Just take it to her wrapped in a blanket as another pp said and giver her another small gift festively wrapped. She will appreciate it! I have to say I never understood the diaper cake or other decorative things done up with diapers. They're diapers! I guess I never was one for cute things. Except the babies themselves. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
