Environmentally Friendly Nappy Cakes
Baby showers are becoming more and more popular in the UK, I absolutely loved mine and I couldn’t possibly count how many I have actually been to. One of the best gifts I received was a nappy cake full of absolutely gorgeous items (all absolutely needed and 100% necessary). The stunning nappy cake was packed to the brim full of disposable nappies. All I saw on the day was a lovely thoughtful gift that must have taken absolutely ages to make, certainly not something I would have the time to create myself, however since receiving one and reminiscing about how much it meant to me – it is now my first choice when I go to a baby shower.
Environmentally Friendly Nappy Cakes
It was whilst searching for a new business to purchase a nappy cake from that I stumbled across a news article about how many nappies are thrown into landfills every year. I must admit that I had never really given much thought about it, I had been so happy with mine and so grateful for the thoughtful gift that the impact on the environment was the furthest thing from my mind. Now, as a busy mum of one I have always used disposable nappies and the thought of just how many nappies I have contributed to landfills over the years truly makes me feel ashamed.
So now that my little one is out of nappies I want to help, but I also still want to buy my friends lovely nappy cakes like the ones that had meant so much to me. I definitely don’t have the time or the inclination to make them myself so could there be a business out there that made eco conscious nappy cakes and baby gifts? I was delighted to find that there was such a business out there that could help me make a small difference to the environment with my gift buying. I give you Gooseberry.
