This week’s giveaway is in honor of my upcoming baby shower. I can hardly believe it is right around the corner! I received a beautiful diaper cake from Diaper Cakewalk. The best gifts, in my opinion, are both unique and practical.

What could be more practical than diapers for a new baby? Pampers Swaddlers, no less.

I plan to display my lovely 3-tier cake at my shower. It includes an adorable Teddy Bear with a rattle, a pacifier, and 45 diapers in sizes 1 & 2. The whole thing came wrapped in tule with beautiful hand-tied bow accents.

Flowers are lovely, but for about the same price, a diaper cake makes a fabulous hospital or shower gift for a new mom. Diaper Cakewalk has a variety of unique baby gifts available to order. They are handmade right here in America.

I appreciate the eco-friendly diaper cake options as well! There is also a whole resource section with ideas for planning a great baby shower.

5 Janet and Maya March 19, 2009 at 7:49 am: We are Huggies fans – the ones with the hourglass shape, I think it’s Supreme Natural Fit. But I will be giving this diaper cake to my cousin and she says Pampers are just fine, she’s not picky about cute and free stuff

Thanks to you and to Diaper Cakewalk, they make beautiful gifts!

13 Dawn March 19, 2009 at 8:09 am: We mainly use cloth diapers, and Bum Genius are our favorite.

For a newborn, though, we LOVE Pampers Swaddlers…they’re so soft, and they do the job well! Since we’ll have another newborn in a few months, we’re in the process of stocking up on teeny-tiny diapers in our house!

30 Mama Manak March 19, 2009 at 10:11 am: Wow…what a cool giveaway! I’m pregnant with our third…a little boy!

My favorite brand of diapers is whatever is cheapest! I’ve recently bought Walgreens since they had such an awesome sale going on. For baby diapers I prefer Huggies or Pampers.

35 Jennifer March 19, 2009 at 11:00 am: To be honest we are mainly a cloth diaper family. That being said I love to start out with throw away dips for those first diaper changes and usually have some on hand for times when I’m too tired to think about washing diapers. I usually buy whatever is the best value.

47 becky March 19, 2009 at 12:45 pm: Pamper swaddlers are my favorite…but since we do our best to save as much money as we can we us cloth diapers most of the time…still use disposables for when we are out and about and at night.
