HELP!!!!!!! i cant do this alone

[bcky2]

ok, i totally hate having to make decisions for others so i need your help. kathryn(seekermage) has given me 25.00 to spend on getting her something for her new baby. she is without a computer and would like me to pick something to have sent to her for a suprise. so i have a limit of like 25.00 and she needs fitteds, pockets, and covers. i know that i cant get alot for the 25.00 but i would like her to get the best bang for her buck, she is on a very tight budget. she needs smalls only for right now and as much as i would like, hyena is out of the question unless it is cheap hyena :) what would you spend her money on? help!!!!!

who was it that got thoes prefitteds X2 or something like that off of that store from the diaper hunt? i cant remember the name of the store and would like to look there. thanks!!!!!!

Bijou Baby Gear fitteds are pretty reasonably priced - for $25 shipped she could get two (including shipping costs) in hemp or velour.

I also ordered from sugarplumbaby and muttaqinbaby but think that you'd have to hit the clearance pages to get, say, two small fitteds for $25. Tykies, too, but I don't remember their prices.

Was the store Slightly Crunchy? http://slightlycrunchy.com/
I haven't bought anything from her but remember seeing those prefitteds x2 during the diaper hunt. I guess her tricky hiding place served its purpose because I won't ever forget that site!!

ummm, what else?
sm sherpa loveybums run $11 each

Oh, hey! Swaddlebees is having that deal where if you buy 2 pockets you get the 3rd free, and some of the retailers have free shipping, no min (such as http://www.abbyslane.com ) So for $30 you can get 3 swaddlebees pockets shipped. Oh, but I don't think inserts are included. And I have no idea how they work for newborns. Ah, well, maybe not the best idea afterall.

[bcky2]

yes, that is the site!!!!! thank you.

hmmmmmmm............bijou has custom slots open ;)

[bcky2]

i took a trip thru bijou and checked out the velour and i do remember that sugarplumbaby had the yummiest lime green velour in a small.....

[mainepotato]

Sounds like a plan! I'm sure she'll love them!!

Slightly Crunchy is the site with the prefitted X2's. I like them in terms of how they work--you just lay in the prefold and snap up the outside layer and it acts like a fitted. But I don't like how the inner and outer layer are cut in such a way that the outer seems smaller than the inside so that you can see the inside along the inside edges. Does that make any sense? Personally, with $25, I'd get two Bijou Baby Gear and yes, she's open for customs right now. Becky, can you e-mail me? I have an idea...

ETA: Stephanie (IIRC) at Slightly Crunchy truly was wonderful to work with. :)

I won a diaper from Slightly Crunchy and wanted to mention that she was great to work with! I don't have any experience with prefitteds x2, but I wouldn't hesitate actually buying something from her (if I actually *needed* more CDs, that is!).

[bcky2]

just emailed you :)

[mudder17]

Hmm...no e-mail. Let me try e-mailing you through the boards.

i emailed you thru the yahoo group from the s.s. :) you should receive the email by next christmas with how slow yahoo has been lately ;)

[bcky2]

yep, she even double checked with me to make sure that i ordered the right size :)

[bcky2]

i got her a aqua sherpa fitted from loveybums, a velour with primary serging and yellow snaps from bijou, a lime velour fitted from sugar plum baby, a kushies taffeta cover, a prefitted x2, a ellas pocket, and a nice pair of oc/ov tye dyed breast pads. i think that is it. i knew that i would not be able to stick to the 25.00 she gave me :) does that sound like a nice combo of diapers? that along with a couple of mamas from the board that are being oh so generous she will have fluff for the new baby! thank you ladies, i know that she will be left speechless.

and dont worry, i told her if she does happen to get near a computer that the butts board is off limits(not that she has any acess to one anyway) :)

[kboyle]

what a nice package!!!! definately a nice combo of stuff, the breast pads sound great!

[ribbit1019]

You are so nice!! I am sure she will love everything you got her.

So I need to know where you got the breast pads, they sound like fun!!
