One of our friends gave birth this morning, which means it’s time to organise a gift. I’m not one to buy baby clothes as I know people love buying them and babies end up with so many.
Since falling pregnant myself and picking up lots of handy tips from mums I follow on Twitter, I thought that it would be nice to put my new knowledge to good use and create a special hamper.
There’s something to be said for being one of the last in our group of friends to have a baby. We have been lucky with donations of pretty much everything we could possibly need. But Pea will need some treats of its own and I have found that baby shopping offers a great opportunity to indulge my love of all things giraffe.
Giraffes have become a favourite animal for the hubby and me. I know the obsession came about during a trip to Moscow zoo on our first holiday together but I’m not really sure how it stuck around – might have something to do with the tall gangliness! Anyway, we now find ourselves pointing out giraffes wherever they crop up, which is surprisingly often.
