Ok, tell me what you think...

Into+the+Kitty · September 2014

So I'm getting a gift together for my SIL. I kind of wanted to do a sampler of different types of CDs, both NB and OS. I think I'm happy with the order, but I want to just run it by other people to see what they think too.

3 NB workhorses (closureless)

6 GMD organic flats

Rumparooz NB cover (Quinn, H&L)

Snappi

Imagine NB bamboo AIO (Rawr, snaps)

Kawaii P&N (Beetle car, H&L)

BG Freetime (Moonbeam, snaps)

BB (Open season, snaps)

BB large hemp/cotton insert

CJs in blueberry crumble

Some sample packages of BG detergent (I may find a nice little container and give her a sample of my Nellies, too)

I am likely going to serge up some flannel wipes to include, and may also make her a medium size wetbag.

Thoughts? Am I forgetting anything?

This looks awesome. What a nice and thoughtful SIL you are!

My only thought (if it's worth anything) is that I didn't love my RaR cover, so maybe one other brand of cover for over the workhorse and flats. Thirsties size one maybe?

Blasphemy! RaR NB covers rock! I also like a combo of snaps and H&L for NB changes, because the aplix was just easier in the MOTN- for the 4th time... I use only snaps for OS, but some H&L was welcome for NB.

Looks like a super awesome gift, ITK.

edit: snaps, not naps

What an awesome gift!

I'd avoid the Blueberry Crumble, unless you know she'll love it.

This is my opinion though so whatever. It smelled great going on, but the fruit scents smell awful with poop.

I'd go with something a little more neutral. Unscented maybe?

I'm also someone who hates getting scented lotions as gifts, unless I've actually asked for them.

Do you have scraps to make wool dryer balls?

redrockmama · September 2014

Wow you're an awesome SIL. My sister got us a blanket. Another lover of RaR covers, I'd keep it on there.

Into+the+Kitty · September 2014

I picked the blueberry crumble because it's my favorite of the ones I've had. It's the small size, not a huge tub, so if she hates it it's not a big loss.

I'm also writing her this very in depth breakdown of cloth diapering, and including lots of the brands that I've liked. Thirsties is on the list for NB covers because I used them exclusively when A was a baby, but I'm also trying to include some prints and colors that I think will help her boyfriend get into CDing (hence the camo BB). I think the Quinn is probably going to be a little more appealing to him than any of the Thirsties prints. If I change it, I'd probably go with a Blueberry cover instead for the prints.

Love the idea for some wool dryer balls, I may make some of them depending on the time crunch.

I'm sad to see no TBumz on this list.

I may make her one, but I don't know how committed she is to CDing. So if I put a ton of my time and love into making a bunch of them and she just gives it up, I'd be really bummed. Plus I still have to finish Katniss's stash first, especially since I know she'll use them all until she outgrows them!

I feel like my bamboo AIOs are very scratchy if I don't throw them in the dryer for a least a little while before line drying them, so you might give her a heads-up there.

Also, I might lean toward getting the small insert for the BB since part of the point of that particular one is to get her boyfriend on board. With a small or medium, it would be an "easy" diaper vs using it over fitteds, prefolds, or flats, and that might help win him over.

Oooh, oooh! Do you have any microfleece scraps that you could turn into stay-dry liners for her?

What an awesome gift!

Into+the+Kitty · September 2014

^^ Ah I read that as PBumz. Clearly I need more coffee LLOL. TBumz are too HTF lately. Maybe welly can help me out.

TJ1979 · September 2014

I agree with Jane. For this situation, I'd go with a small stay dry or a medium hemp bb insert. A NB won't need a large for a while.

Or make some small inserts if you have time and extra bamboo fleece sitting around.

Well 2 out of 3 of them wish I was not their SIL, so maybe you can call one of them up to see if they want to swap? LLOL

ElleBeeDub · September 2014

This sounds amazing. I might add a pair of boingos, but that's because I'm currently mildly obsessed with selling all the snappis and buying boingos

BoothBaby · September 2014

Another RaR lover here, especially the NB size. Also a huge fan of quinn, i have it in a cover and a pocket! And seriously, what an awesome gift!

abby8279 · September 2014

I am obsessed w/ quinn and I don't even own any RaR. I have had my eye on a Kangacare wetbag in quinn....

And I really dislike Boingos. Sorry @ElleBeeDub

candlequeen · September 2014

K thanks. I'll also need your name and a photo to verify

Into+the+Kitty · September 2014

Omg I keep giggling at the thought of you texting one of them in particular.

Into+the+Kitty · September 2014

Hell, you could start it like her last email to my husband started 'I just wanted to tell you that you're a piece of shit...' Lol.

candlequeen · September 2014

Oooh, now i really want to write to her. What a bitch X(

Ok, tell me what you think...
