Susan and Lynn have designed a cute presentation to these quality products. The sweet baby items are designed from top to bottom using only the best ingredients including a dash of happiness, a pinch of love, lots of sprinkles of sweet baby wishes and the secret ingredient of Binkeez™ and Burpeez™. The Binkeez™ are handmade, 100% cotton flannel, machine washable blankets that are 44″ x 44″, which makes them a wonderful size for swaddling the little one.

Lil Duck loved to be swaddled and was always “breaking free” if the blanket wasn’t large enough, wish we had a Binkeez then!

The Burpeez™ are handmade, 100% cotton flannel, machine washable burp clothes that are 18″ x 10″. Burpeez ™ also have a triple layer design for absorption but at the same time also provide a baby with a super soft resting place while they await that burp.

We could have used the extra size and absorption for Lil Duck also…

You can request custom embroidery and select from their wonderful “flavors” (pink, blue, neutral pastels or honey colored 100% organic). An additional “ingredients” list you can choose from are numerous, including the most adorable fluffy animals .

You will be most pleased with the cake style presentation – I am not even going to wrap the one I am ordering for an upcoming baby shower, it is too cute (see it wrapped here)! Well, you just have to see them for yourself at Bel Scriba’s Bakery!

We absolutely enjoy working with Susan and Lynn here at Lil Duck and we know you will not be disappointed with them or their product . Be sure to also check out our customizable invitations for your baby shower & see more WFMW tips here!

See all of our Photo Birth Announcements in our galleries, on which you can place any of these verses or write your own!

Let us share some ideas we have used and please, share your suggestions as well – you are a most creative group!

Ways for Children to Say Thank You…

1. Draw a picture of the toy. Have the child draw a picture of the toy and let their imagination run with the idea. If they are too young, label the picture and any comments the child made while creating this unique thank you. Be sure this is immediately given in person or mailed – a thank you not given isn’t much good…

2. Have several people to thank for this one picture? Take a photo of the drawing (get as close as possible, fill the whole picture frame with the drawing and do not tilt the drawing – this will give you the best photo quality. If it is digital, you could email it, otherwise, print right away and send promptly.

3. Schedule a play date with the giver so the child and the giver can enjoy the gift together.

4. Photograph your child playing with the gift and send to the giver. Have several gifts to thank a giver for? Make sure several of the gifts are in the same photo, even if only in the background – maybe it seems staged, but it works for a busy mom!

5. A family tradition in my husband’s family when he was young, was to gather all his gifts after opening for Christmas or a birthday, and take a photo. Of course as a child, he complained, but now it is one of our favorite type of photos in his scrapbook – brings back many memories.

6. When you have a list of people to thank, the most efficient method might be to order one of our multi-photo thank you cards and you can share the joy with the photos taken at the gift opening.

7. If your child is chatty, have them call the giver. We always liked to have the children call when they had drawn or written the thank you since their enthusiasm was bubbling over and, hopefully, this is communicated.

Please remember to show your children there are various ways to express appreciation and most importantly, that appreciation needs to be expressed, otherwise what good is it?

Please share ways you have your children say “thank you” – I know you have creative ideas to share!
