Good News! We are giving away a Pikle this week! Don’t know what a Pikle is? Your life is about to change! Read on….
Looking for a gift for a baby shower? As a young couple with a limited budget, here are a few items that are hard to purchase yourself (if you have a limited budget), but are super helpful to receive at a baby shower:
1. Swaddle Wraps or a minky blanket. I couldn’t bring myself to buy these for our first baby, because I figured I could do just as well with blankets. Someone gave me some swaddle wraps for my second baby and they changed my world! It’s was so nice not having to get up in the night in my already sleep-deprived state, just to re-swaddle my baby.
2. A wrap/Carrier. This is another thing that I couldn’t justify buying myself, but when I borrowed one of my friend’s wraps I loved being able to carry my baby around in it.
3. Full Coverage Nursing Cover. I dreamed of something like this when I was nursing and now it finally exists! The elastic sleeves make it easy to see baby and adjust as needed, and the sleeves make it possible to burp baby without trying to hurry and pull your shirt down. No more side boob while nursing! I love it. Use Code “NICHE” for $15 off, making it $19.99
4. Bows! If it’s a girl, you really cannot have too many bows. And it can be pricey to stock up on them, so I appreciated every single bow or headband that I received for my babies. Along with this, you can add a cute outfit! Here are some fun ways to gift bows at a baby shower:
5. In A Pikle. These things are on of the most GENIUS gifts for busy moms! It’s a compact organizer for all those items you would need for life’s little emergencies, or when you are “in a pikle” I LOVE mine. I keep it in the car so that I always have things handy when I need them: things like, wipes, tissues, rubberbands, a mini screwdriver, tweezers, bobby pins, hand sanitizers, everything! You can pick a customized Pikle, or you can customize it, or you can buy it empty and fill it with your own essentials! I would have died for one of these as a new mom! WANT TO WIN ONE?? Visit the Pikle site and comment below telling me which one is your favorite and what you would want in it! Giveaway ends 02/06/15
6. A Video Monitor. This is another thing that would have been really awesome to receive! I bought an old used monitor at a yard sale because I couldn’t justify spending the money, but I would have slept so much better had we had one. I woke up so many times in the night wondering if my baby was still breathing, or if she was okay, or why the house was so quiet. I would have saved myself from waking her up from her nap had I been able to peer at the video monitor to check on her rather than walking into her room. I recently got the Levana Sophia video monitor, which is both awesome and affordable.

September 27, 2014 at 10:26 amI agree with the BOWS! I only got like 6bows which wasn’t as much as I thought. She outgrew 4 after 2months. I have been making them for my baby girl & baby showers.

jafossum says
January 29, 2015 at 7:41 amI love the blue floral with yellow chevron. One of my New Years goals was to be more organized. A Pikle sounds perfect for that! If I win maybe the next time I have a newborn I won’t be caught using wet paper towels in a public restroom to clean poop off my kid. Maybe.
Jo Wagner says

Andrea McKinley says
January 29, 2015 at 8:28 amI like the sweet chevron with coral pikle. And I love the idea of keeping it in the car as I *someday* hope to stop carrying a huge diaper bag! I’d fill it with first aid, cleaning, and a few small snacks.
Melece Hall says
January 29, 2015 at 8:38 amMy family camps so much, I would love the Gherkin Lime green with orange stripe. I don’t know what I’d pack it with, a little of everything? 🙂
Renee M says
January 29, 2015 at 8:40 amThese are so cute! I think I’d want the Bread & Butter Black and White Stripe with Pink Pikle. I’d definitely like the starter pak and then would add chapstick, medications, and a travel battery charger for my phone, to start.

Tracy says
January 29, 2015 at 9:02 amI love the sweet pikle chevron with coral flap or the B&W floral with lime flap! Both are so cute! And inside I’d want…tweezers, finger nail clippers, hand sanitizer, spot remover, mini scissors, and tissues. Actually all of it sounds SO handy!

Kym Owens says
January 29, 2015 at 11:29 amThank you so much for this opportunity! I would want BREAD & BUTTER SADDLE BLACK PIKLE and for it to be filled with the complete refill/starter pak. Not sure if I was looking at it all correctly but I couldn’t see everything that was in the refill kit. So if these items aren’t in it, I would love them too. An eye see you pak, and a MacGyver pak, and extra of those thermometer strips. How handy those would have been over the years!
Julie A. says
January 29, 2015 at 11:54 amMy favorite is the Sweet Pikle- Chevron with Coral Flap. I love that they look like a makeup bag but carry tons of stuff you may need on the go.

Angela B says
January 29, 2015 at 9:06 pmGreat post. I have two kiddos and still haven’t broken down and paid for a video monitor. I definitely want to when I have a third, so it’s nice to hear about what’s out there. As far as the Pikle bags go (which are a great idea) I like the Pepper Pikle in black. I’d put wipes, nail clippers, pocket knife, crayons, bandages and things of that nature in it.

January 30, 2015 at 10:38 amHaving two children in their twenties and one who is five, you’d think I’d be experienced. It’s like being a first time mom all over again! We’re always on the go and in a hurry. I’m always forgetting something. Great idea. Thanks for letting us know about it.
I love the sweet pikle b&w floral with lime flap.
