Nappilicious

Depending on the baby, diapers can cost an average of $80 a month. Egads.  So a practical, and still shower worthy present is the diaper cake. Now available in organic.

My favourite diaper cakes are from a darling store called Mason & Matisse. The no-chlorine, biodegradable diapers are presented with organic (inside and out) plushes and other organic mummy treats.

The brilliant thing about these cakes is that they are non-fattening, and she will be thrilled if someone else gets her the same thing. Like real cake, you simply cannot have enough.

Another company, called Grow In Style, also makes eco nappy cakes which may suit if you drive a small Prius.

Or, make you happy if you are French, and your “go to” gift is Sophie the Giraffe, which allows you to gloat about how France has had safe baby teethers since Napolean.

For the more hippy amongst you, you can always find cloth diaper cakes (ask the mum first!) on Etsy…

or make your own, with these handy instructions.

Though seemingly uninspired after it was “done” on Sex In The City”, the diaper cake is like a string of pearls.  Always suitable.  Always perfect.

Just cheaper.
