it's an amazing thing that people give you gifts when you have a child. as if the child wasn't enough... we get cute clothes, toys & sometimes fun unnecessary items as well!
we want to stress that we do not expect gifts from anyone. gifts are not necessary. we would love to have you join us at the showers regardless. and i promise not to ration out how much time you get to spend with the child on how great the gift is :)~ i'm totally teasing, please note!
since i'm being (overly & possibly annoyingly) earth friendly in this process i wanted to take a second to say if you do plan on getting us something we have a few preferences:
-if we've registered for it & you find it at a second hand store- go for it! we don't need shiny new objects by any means. maybe leave us a message here so others know.
-sustainable wood toys over plastic
-since we live in phx... gift certificates are preferred to wasteful shipping or heavy luggage!
-please include a gift receipt... i hear babies r us and target are horrible about exchanges. but we promise to love everything we're given :)
-i love mama's hip & sustain- two local stores in lou. but we aren't registered because they don't have online registry options. their websites are under the registries menu on the right.
*we'd love to support the small business over the giant retailers.
-i know organic is a tad expensive... but i do prefer (although, i also realize cuter clothes exist outside of this category) organic cotton. i've been doing way too much research about the pesticides used to grow not only our food but cotton to be comfy with the idea of it on our little peanut. i posted a link on my other blog about it if you'd like to read it!
-on that same note- we've chosen to swap the majority of our food & house products to organic... so gift certificates to whole foods or trader joes would be awesome!!! i'll be making peanut's food from organic food when he is eating solids.
-we've registered for cloth diapers at wildflower diaper, a local store here in phx. this is definitely one of our highest priorities!
again, your well wishes & joining us for the parties is more than enough!
we look forward to seeing all of you soon!
