Sending Good Wishes

Good luck for the future SB you will be a fantastic mother s/he is a lucky little thing xx

It was the baby shower of SB this weekend and I was unable to go as my parents were visiting from Germany.  I had visited recently together with LC, we were all at Uni together and somehow we are all still good friends nearly 16 years later.

SB and LC are now entering/pretty settled in the motherhood phase of life, I will hopefully soon join them. I'm not really sure how I feel about Baby Showers, they are very American and commercial (the baby shower gift register blew my mind),  I am 100% positive that when my time comes (baby/adoption)  I will be celebrating with my nearest and dearest and showering that child(ren) with the love that it/they deserve.

As neither LC nor I could attend the shower we decided to send a gift from the both us. What do you buy for a baby you don't know?  What could they possibly need? (everything) How could we make a statement without being there?  

Gender Neutral - I hate surprises, even if it's not my surprise

Then I remembered, I had found this little shop on ETSY last year Happylilhearts, she is a fantastic crafter who makes bouquets for newborns that are made out of bootees, onesies, and bibs all wrapped up with a little cuddly toy. It was perfect I ordered it a week early and it arrived the day before the shower, it even had a hand written note.

I couldn't have said it better myself
