Today’s gift pick is Bummas!
About Bummas:
“Bummas are small, soft, luxurious, eco-friendly baby-sized cloths made especially for drying baby bottoms, as well as blocking those surprise squirts. Bummas are a product supporting Doctors’ advice to prevent diaper rash. American Academy of Pediatrics recommends “drying the diaper area well….” before rediapering. Prevent and eliminate irritating diaper rash without the use of powders, talcs and ointments by simply drying your baby’s bum with a Bumma, then throw it in the wash. Wet one and use instead of a commercial wipe. After the wipe and before the dipe, use a soft kiss of cloth to dry bums off. Keep diaper rash at bay, the Bummas way. – Packs of Ten for $16.99 – 4 Colorful themed combinations in each pack. – 100% Cotton – Woven Velour Terry Cloth. – Handy 5″ x 7″ size. – Durable. Wash and use them again and again. – Won’t pill, shrink, or fade. (may need a little thread trimming after washing) – Made in California, USA”
Bummas sent me a complimentary package of 10 rolled 5×7 Bummas wipes to check out, and I have to say – I think these would make an awesome present for almost any expectant mom on your list, because they are so versatile. These aren’t just diaper wipes; they can be used for almost any other sort of cleanup as well. Every parent needs to have a good stash of burp cloths and wipes on hand, so I think this would be a thoughtful present. I also love how attractively packaged Bummas are – you know me, I’m always thinking about what I could display in a gift basket, and I think these would be a super cute choice. One note for gift givers: Just be sure to hold the package from the bottom, so that the wipes don’t fall out!
Ohhhh those are super cool! Great for babies or even kids with sensitive skin!
Those are really brightly colored and they look really soft!
With all the wipes I went through in my daughter’s first couple years, this would have been quite a money saver.
These look great!
