Gift Packs

I've been trying to come up with some gift pack ideas, to suit all kinds of people and situations. It is hard to think outside the box you can get yourself trapped in to though. While my ideas may seem great to me, I am not so sure that they are great to others. I have found this to be true on many occasions, including buying stock. So I thought I would share my ideas with you and hope to get some feedback.


So far my ideas are:

• Modern cloth nappy starter pack, which will include one of each kind of nappy available. E.g. a pocket nappy, an all-in-one, an all-in-two, etc
• A gift pack for children or babies, including a Zoobie and a matching story
• A pocket nappy starter set, which will include different brands of pocket nappies (this will be done for the other types as well)
• A new mummy package, which I am still coming up with ideas for
• Mummy to be package, which I am looking for ideas for too

What other packs would you like to see? What do you or did you wish you could have got as a 'pack'?

Family by Family

Watching the 7pm project last night, I heard of a wonderful program called Family by Family. What a wonderful concept this is. Families helping other families. Becoming a support network, building on their support network. Families meeting other families who have been in a similar situation. It is great! I wish we had it where we live. 


"Family by Family is a new network of families helping families. It finds and trains families who have been though tough times, pairs them with families who want things to change, and coaches family pairs to grow and change together. You can read and watch more about how the model works on the Family by Family website. " - Excerpt from The Australian Centre for Social Change


At the moment, it is only in South Australia, but they are hoping to have it Australia wide. I know I will be putting up my hand to be part of it when it comes here. Will you?
