Cloth Diapering

CD Shower Gift

A friend of mine has been gifted a year's CD service (Prefolds only) from her mother. I'd like to put together a gift basket of CD accessories as a shower gift. I've  only been CDing for a week and a half, so I'd like some more seasoned feedback on what to include. Here's what I'm thinking:

*Planetwise Wet/Dry Bag

*CJs BUTTer or Grovia Magic Stick

*Snappi or Two

*Thirsties Duo Wrap (Thus far, I prefer these covers, but I could do a different cover.)

I was also thinking about throwing a pocket in there-She was originally interested in them, until her mother offered this gift.  What do you think? Should I add, take away, or switch out something? I probably want to spend $50-$60 total.

Re: CD Shower Gift

  • That looks great. I like Thirsties Duo Wraps, too.
  • I was always wanting more wet bags!  Variety of sizes are great, too.  Even now that DD is potty trained we still use those things for all kinds of stuff.  You can't go wrong with those.  I would probably get a few of them over a pocket if she's not sure, she'll use the wet bags for sure.

    I agree that looks great! 

    The only thing I might stay away from is the pocket, but for kind of a weird reason.  If she tries it and likes it enough to want to use it more often, she's gonna have to buy CD safe detergent and wash 1 diaper, every time she uses it.  Maybe that's not  a big deal, and maybe she'll be happy to try a pocket before her year of service is up so she can decide what to do after a year. IDK.

    That's why I was hesitant to get the pocket.

    Thanks for the feedback, ladies!

    I agree about the BabyLegs! Love those things.

    If you have time for shipping, Alva wet bags are a great bargain.

    You could grab a couple alva wet bags from superstash...that's what I did and filled it with the other goodies as a gift!

    I know I want to get a wet/dry bag for her diaper bag mainly because I wish I had one. Maybe I'll get another cheaper wet bag as well.

    And I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I hate baby legs! But, I might get her a cute changing pad and think of it as a "stock the diaper bag" gift. Her shower isn't till August, but I was going to order a few things for myself, so I thought I might get a head start on her gift, too.

  • I like our Thirsties covers, but lately I find myself reaching for our one sad, lonely Econobum cover for over prefolds. It seems to be cut a bit wider, so I don't have to do as much adjusting and tucking once it's on. FWIW....
