I think I’ve done pretty well so far. It’s been 13 whole weeks since we found out that I am pregnant and I haven’t bought one single gift for the baby. Sure I’ve been tempted by cute little onesies and adorable baby toys, but I have refrained from purchasing anything.
At least I was doing well until last week, when I just couldn’t help myself. I came across this site on Etsy called Lil Boo & Co. I regularly look at Etsy just to get ideas and to add to my list of favorites. I haven’t actually bought anything in a while, but this time I found myself drawn to the items at Lil Boo & Co. I think it’s partly because they are different from any others that I have seen and partly because they’re not very expensive so I felt I could justify a little splurge.
My favorite items are these sets of crayons called Lil Scribblers. They’re crayons (made from Crayola crayons meaning that they’re non-toxic) that have been molded into various shapes. I bought a package of the butterflies and another one that contained various bugs. Aren’t they adorable?
Each piece is made up of different hues so you really get a multitude of colors with only a few crayons. And they create a swirly effect when they’re used, which is fun.
They’re also the perfect size for a little person’s hand as they’re easy to grip.
They make great gifts, too, as they come packed like this:
Lil Boo sells other items such as these Boo Boo Cubes. Again, I couldn’t resist purchasing a couple, one of which looked just like this:
It can be used as either a non-toxic cold pack or it can be put in the microwave to serve as a heating pack for sore muscles. And it’s the perfect size for little babies/toddlers.
Now I realize that it’ll be a while before I need to use either of these items for my own baby, but still… I couldn’t resist. Besides, I’ve been so good for so long, right? And because I’m feeling generous this morning (or guilty, take your pick) I want to share the wealth. So….
