Default Local diaper cake / gift basket delivery

Looking for recommendations on a local place that can deliver a well made diaper cake in Calgary as a new baby gift.

Fire away!

It's a 'cake' made from diapers (usually ####ty quality that that parents will never actually use). Just save your time and buy them some pampers.

This is a thing? So people take a bunch of diapers, bundle them into a ball, throw it in their trunk and expect people to use them on their new baby? What a waste.

Yeah! Frenches Ketchup all the way! There are a lot of things you can cheap out on but diapers is not one of them. You learn quick when your little one ####s out the side of their diaper sleeping and you have to clean it up. Gross.

It's a cake. You have to slather it in brown frosting first. With yellow sprinkles.

Be careful buying diapers for someone else, unless you know what kind they use. Often babies are sensitive to certain brands and can only use one specific kind.

Also make sure they plan to use disposable diapers, we got a diaper cake and planned to use cloth, they all ended up getting donated.

I wouldn't call French's a little guy.

One is a multi-billion dollar mega-corporation, and the other is an even bigger multi-billion dollar mega-corporation.

Cloth diapers are horrible. My wife tried them for one day and it was a disaster and not nearly worth the amount of work when you have an alternative you can just take off and throw in the trash.

They're not for everyone for sure, we like them and they've saved us a lot of money, I don't find them to be a hassle.
