Some words of encouragement to new moms in these unusual times: In the Chinese tradition, once a woman has given birth she enters “sitting the month”, zuo yue zi, where she stays indoors — visitor free — to focus on healing and caring for her newborn.The basic gist of this protocol is to protect mom and baby from pathogens and stress, while boosting their recovery and immunity. And so here we are today, all of us, sitting-in with no visitors. We are an odd mix of anxiety, stress, loneliness, boredom, hilarity, community, kindness, and togetherness.

March is an important month for us and we are thinking of you, our customers, more than ever. To honour our 6th anniversary, we are offering a 20% SALE discount on our selection of luxury baby gifts and corporate baby baskets. The discount “BBBis6” is valid until March 31st. and can be applied storewide.

Once again this year on Mother’s Day, the world will celebrate the charming and sweet side of this role.  We, however, will toast to your strength. We applaud your sleep training,  your patience with baby’s teething, and your ability to make decisions wisely and nurture on no sleep for the third night in a row. 

Every year we pick a charity to support, where we feel that our donation can make an impact.  This year we are thrilled to support Mamas For Mamas — a national charitable organization that supports mothers in crisis.

A happy mama makes a happy baby. Parenting certainly has its struggles but when basic needs can not be met, those struggles are tenfold. An organization like this is needed everywhere to help young families in need find surer footing into a safer, happier, future. We support their mission and work wholeheartedly, and are glad to have Bonjour Baby Baskets' mamas join their wider family of mamas on a mission.

 If you are lucky, some afternoons the sun bathes your face and just like that whispers of awakening and renewal begin. With Spring around the corner, our sneak peek is the little fix to get you going in celebration of anticipated births and rebirths:

With a bundle in the basket no one is expecting new parents to make new year’s resolutions. We thought, in these happy but confusing first months, we’d offer three reminders (not resolutions) to keep you doing YOU in 2019!

Just me and my baby out on a Saturday night...without the baby...yikes, right? Going out for the first time post baby, just the two of you, can be a tad overwhelming. On the one hand—woohoo you get to step out on the town in a burp-up-free top, a.k.a. ‘the dressed-up new-mom look’.   On the other hand—will the baby be OK without you? Or more correctly, will you be OK without the baby? 

 

So, you’ve been tasked with ordering a deluxe corporate baby basket for a colleague who is due in the Autumn.  Which type of basket do you go for? Do you look at the summer sale items? Do you personalize a basket? Should you center it around warmer products for cooler...
