In it, I also explained how the present works!Ĭongratulations!! I hope this is a fun present you can enjoy throughout your whole pregnancy.

I also got my friend a cute little card, and just wrote a nice note for her to open. Once you’ve got all your items, it’s time to wrap them up and stick some numbers on them! I made all of my numbers out of cardstock, and then I just used a thick sharpie to write them all pretty! Postpartum affirmation support cards Finally, wrap it all up as a pretty monthly pregnancy box So I was absolutely positive I wanted to include some sort of “baby” gift and some sort of “alcohol” gift in this last one! This onesie was super cute (remember to still get a gender-neutral one because you won’t know gender when you wrap it up in month one!), and my friend and her husband are big Prosecco-lovers, so I know she will appreciate a mini-bottle! (Wine will do just the same!)Īlternatives for the “mom gift” if mama is not an alcohol drinker: Note: “Congratulations!! You’re a MOM!! Dress Baby T in this cute onesie and you and Ben enjoy some Prosecco on me…” Just a little one or two sentence note for her to enjoy as she opens the present! (I’ve included what I’ve said below in the caption of each pic) Next up, the presents! So, along with wrapping all the presents (alternating pink and blue for each month- I’m fancy like that, haha), I also included a little note in each.

Cardstock/construction paper for the numbers on each present and the little notes you’ll write inside.

A little card to write about how the present works….

Pink and Blue Wrapping Paper (remember, you want both colors, because mama won’t know what the gender is when you give her the present).

Okay, once you’ve got a box, time to get all the accessories…(like I said, I had this stuff at my house already, but if you don’t, you’ll have to purchase it).

Choose something to hold all the goodiesįirst things first, you need a cute box to put all your presents in! I got this one from Amazon, but you could easily get a similar one from Target or Walmart next time you are out! (Just for reference, all three Bump Boxes will cost you $150-they are $50 for each box)Īlso just a heads up, an additional cost you may inquire is the supplies needed to wrap the presents…I had all of this stuff, so I didn’t add it into my budget (wrapping paper…tape…cardstock etc.). I tried to do my best to stay within about $5-$15 per present, so in total, this present will run you around $100. One for each month, and then one for after baby is born! My friend I did this for actually told me very early on, so she only got to open one when I gave it to her…and then she kept on track for the rest of her pregnancy! So, just let her know that she will get to open the first 2 or 3 presents…depending on where she is in her gestation.
