Special Gifts For Gumnut
14 contributions Event Finished
We’re so excited for Gumnut to join us earth-side and meet you all! 😀
Gumnut, Reece, Steven, Sheba and I appreciate your thoughts, love and messages more than anything else in this world.
Thank you for being a part of our biggest adventure yet <3
xx
P.S. Where possible, we have/ will source items second hand (e.g. our near-new change table is a flippin’ great freebie, thank you hard rubbish & Gumtree!). With that mentality in mind, we feel this website fits our needs well because any contributions can be pooled. The numbers on these items certainly don’t represent expectations, it’s a bit of a "we would love" list, even for us. It’s all so greatly appreciated. The collection includes both novelties and essentials, but they’re all favourites! Anything here will be VERY well loved.
Toys and Teethers Set
These will be Gumnut's favourites for the first 10 months! Buying them as a set streamlines things for us a lot too :) They provide the base for learning basic motor skills, and double as something to gnaw on while Mum and Dad pass Gumnut over to you :) (From Etsy)

Our Gumnut will hopefully be reading plenty of books... But it's gotta start somewhere, some fairy tales and these hard pages look good! (From The Book Depository)

Merino Beanie and Booties Set
Gumnut will join us in winter, so we ooooobviously need this exceptionally cute set ;) What Reece has to say: "For a baby!? Well as long as the booties can be used later too... as ear warmers or something..." (From Snuggle Hunny)

Large Puddle Proof Play Mat
We're hoping to have some nappy-free time at home but obviously avoiding pee on floors is preferable... This wool mat does the trick nicely and can double as a mattress protector too! (From Etsy; LittleBunnyBear)

The mattress is conveniently the same as a king size pillow case- And the pillow cases are cheaper than bassinet sheets too!

Clothing From Little to (a bit) Big! <3
So at this point we've not bought a great deal of clothing, who knows how big or small Gumnut will be or how quick growth happens. Op shops have been great so far! (And will continue to be!) However, it would be great to have some specific sized items after Gumnut arrives... We'll be in spring and summer by the time Gumnut's starting to crawl and walk so bring on those cutie rompers!

Soft Waffle Hooded Towel
1. Because is that not super cute? 2. Because, well, refer to point 1. OK, complete novelty (to a degree), we do have towels, they're also so big that wrapping Gumnut up might mean losing them altogether! (From Ettitude)

Coconut Oil 1.5L
We're opting for a cheap and natural alternative to nappy creams/ moisturiser. Here's to Gumnut loving coconut as much as we do!

0-4 Years Convertible Car Seat
