Baby Clothing: Ernsting's Family Haul

Hey beauties,

Today I have a very special post as it revolves around my baby's first birthday celebration. Yeaahhh, in exactly 4 weeks time, it will be so far that my baby will turn 1 and ladder up to being a toddler. No more an infant! And we are all set to make it ultra special. And the first thing, I could do or let me just put it this way; I must do is to buy clothes. 

And seriously guys, I don't know how it is in other countries but in Germany it is kind of difficult to find colourful baby dresses at a reasonable prices. For some reason, here the baby boys are dominated with all shades of blue colour and girls with pinks. I hate this classification! I mean baby's world need to be colourful and so should be the clothes. And the one shop that I truly rely on for some burst of colourful and pattern-outfits is my fav "Ernsting's Family". 

So here's quick look at the Haul!

In the pic below are 4 undershirts and one normal cotton full sleeves shirt with striped bands in front (ahh..you can see that!! ;-))

And the Jacket below is so soft, fluffy and cosy. I just love it! Other than these I bought 2 jeans and one cotton pants (blue coloured with elastic waistline). Jeans are fitted with elastic bands and can be adjusted around waist fur optimal fit.

P.S. All items were picked from Sale and in sizes 86/92 suitable for babies from 1.5 years to 2 years. I prefer to buy a size larger (especially jeans) than the actual size of my son. This way it's not only economical but also spare me from buying outfits every three months. You do know how fast babies grow out of sizes!

Tip: Plan in advance and try to buy outfits during off-season to save money. I would buy jackets and sweaters in winter sale for the next season and similarly summer clothes during the summer sale. Of course not always but most of the time. Trust me it saves a lot of money. Also if you tend to like some pattern and print which is available only in larger size, then go ahead, buy it for the season yet to come and be uniquely styled. :-)

Hope you enjoyed this little tour. 

I shall see you soon with another interesting post!

Till then .....KEEP SMILING! :-)

Unboxing: Glückskind dm-box

Hi everyone,

My very first post on this blog and what could have been the better way to flag off my blogger journey but to start with a my baby news.

Yup, I am a proud mother to my 10 month old "bundle of joy" son. Coming back to the topic...

During my pregnancy, I registered (online) myself with drugstores like Dm and Rossmann, here in Germany. It is kind of tradition here, that almost every drugstore and companies dealing with baby stuff like baby food, toys, clothing etc. offer their customers a chance to register themselves for their premium (baby bonus) programs. A part of these programs generally offer customers with free samples and gifts after the birth of the baby and from there on every couple of months or say developmental stages of the baby.

I also happen to receive my coupon after the birth of my baby for the "Glückskind" welcome box from drugstore dm.

And I am excited to share this box with you people as the contents of this box are quite useful and comes very handy for short travels. But before I come to the contents, I must say dm did a very good job in creating this box, which in the shape of a small suitcase/luggage bag. Everything from colour to the pattern on the box is so charming and matches perfectly to the bright and colourful baby's world.

So here's a look at the contents of this box.

• Babylove (dm's own brand) premium diapers in size mini (3-6 kg)
• Pampers sensitive baby wipes travel size containing 12 wipes
• Lansinoh breast-feeding pads (2 pieces)
• NUK pacifier ideal for babies up to 6 months
• Rotbäckchen Mama Eisen+ (iron syrup for mommies), 30 ml
• Weleda Granatapfel (pomegranate) Lotion,  20 ml
• Bübchen (Nestle's brand) Milk for babies, 50 ml
• Penaten (from house of Jhonson&Jhonson) multi-purpose cream for babies, 25 ml
• Sargotan hygien wipes
• Durex condom
• A big Coupon block ideal for all family members

On the whole, I find most of the contents are well suitable for babies-diaper bag or can be your companion for short journey's. The box in itself is made up off hardboard and can very-well be used to store your babies items. I use this box to store my babies first items- like his ultrasound photos, hand&foot imprints etc.. For us, It's a sweet-memory box and when my son grows up, we will gift him his first ever's. I am already getting goosebumps thinking about his reaction than but it's still a long way to go. Till them I will keep on collecting and storing his memories in this box.

At this point I thank, dm- drugstore for a such a pleasant welcome box. It's indeed a great effort. Keep up the good work! :-)
