Hi!
As a fairly new mum I was thinking today how handy my nappy caddy is. Obviously it's a very simple thing but I like how it makes nappy changes a bit less of a faff.
It got me thinking about making up nappy caddy gift boxes - so they're have some nappies, wipes and cream. Plus a few baby vests and long sleeves. Maybe a hairbrush, bubble bath and shampoo. A comforter or teddy, some muslins. Just a few ideas, but just really packed up with nice stuff.
Do you think people would buy these as presents for expecting mums or would it be a waste of time do you think? Obviously there's nothing stopping people doing their own but I was thinking of them as baby shower gifts etc.
Yabu - boring idea, don't bother.
Yanbu - give it a go!

I think they’re hard to make look ‘high end’ so not suitable for a gift imo. Doubt you’d make your money back.

I've seen this gift since I become pregnant about 15 years ago. So I assume people do buy them but it's not a new idea.

I wouldn't buy them tbh, but some people would I am sure.
