I quickly realised that this project called for a lot of creativity and I had to be flexible. As parents-gonna-be, we have sort of grudgingly agreed that present for baby is also present for Daddy/ Mummy. So, I moved along this line and got Hubby a diaper cake. Hahaha!
The Diaper Cake came from Diaper Cakes. Most people have this impression that diaper cakes are not very cheap and consists of products that are not of very high quality. Diaper Cakes have different tier levels available and have a mini diaper cake option (from S$54). As this is for hubby's gender reveal, I am not too worrried that it will look too unpresentable/ cheap.
However, if this was a gift for a friend/colleague's little one, I would be fretting about a lot more because I had to ensure that the receiver would be happy with the good intentions. Although, what caught my eye was initialy the price-point, I have to admit that the mini diaper cake looked very adorable and presentable. It wasn't as mini as its name and I definitely won't feel paiseh to give as a baby shower gift <3
Before the reveal, hubby was like hinting "there was no need for any unnecessary fanfare." when I confided in him that I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the gender reveal. Was quite glad eventually I had both balloons and cakes :D The baby boy balloon is also from Diaper Cakes. You just have to burst a magic pack and the balloon will start to inflate. Update: The balloon remains inflated after a week!
In a mini diaper cake, you will receive a baby onsie, a pair of socks, a plushie and around 7 huggies diapers. Do remember to pluck out the holding pins. I was super tempted to reconstruct everything back cos it was so pretty but it was way harder than I thought. The plushie was surprisingly premium and the size was very good for a newborn photoshoot. The baby's apparel is of decent quality but it definitely cannot compare to the boutique, more expensive brands. Size-wise, it can definitely fit even a fat baby for a while with its wide head cutting. (Yes, I just phewed)
