A fellow mommy told me about the bag and how to get one, so obviously I went to my nearest Dischem store and registered for their baby programme.
Of course nothing comes free, so you need to do a few things before you can get your bag, but they are super simple. All you need is the following:
- Sign up for a Dischem benefits card at your nearest store - if you don't have one already ;)
- Activate your baby club membership on the card - All they need is babies due date.
- Spend as little as R300 at any Dischem (Come on, we all know we spend a lot more than that at Dischem) and be sure to swipe your card.
And that's it! Once you are in your 30th week of pregnancy, a friendly staff member at Dischem will contact you to come in and collect your bag! Easy Peasy.
For Baby
Dischem Baby Things - Baby wipes with Aloe Vera (Because you can never have enough) Dischem Baby Things - Bottle brush (it's pink, but hey, beggars can't be choosers) Dischem Baby Things - BPA free Glass feeding bottle (These are awesome and this one even has a cool silicone wrap to help avoid breakage) Dischem Baby Things - Scented baby nappy bags |
Premium - Softi Cotton Balls (Great for lots of thing, including when mommy need to change her nail polish heehee) Olli - Disposable bib (I think these are super cool! I only got one, but I'm sure I'll be buying more of these babies) | Johnson's - Baby Oil (Don't you just love the smell of this stuff!?) Johnson's - Baby Powder (I always make sure I have this around the house) Johnson's - Baby Jelly (Another item great for baby and mommy) Softi - Cotton Buds (Another staple around the house) Dischem - Surgical Spirit (in an awesome plastic bottle) Sudocrem - Healing Cream (Great for nappy rash) Saline - Nasal Drops (Great for those irritated little noses/nostrils) SebaMed - Baby wash (Never used this, but seems pretty good) |
For Mommy
Carriwell - Maternity Pads (Lets face it, these are the 'sexy things' mommies sometimes have to wear, but I love the saying on the package "For those days when nothing else will help...") Tena - Bladder weakness pads (When a sneeze or a cough leads to something unexpected) Softi - Breast Pad (Why do all mommies gifts have to do with 'leakages'!?) Dischem - Hand Sanitizer (I love how they added this into the bag! |
Now i just need to figure out where to put all these goodies.
