Great gift bag to recieve in hospital!! Like the samples as handy for travel and trying different brands without investing too heavily
A really lovely gift to receive in hospital - theres so much to take in as a new mum, and receiving some samples is really helpful to allow trialling before purchasing a whole bunch of products blindly. Its also a really nice feeling to receive a gift in hospital after birth. Positive vibes all round
I was so surprised to get this bag and thought it was a wonderful gift for a new mum. I want aware of many things so it was educational too. I particularly like how it included things for mum, not just baby, as once you get pregnant no one thinks of you anymore, just the baby!
Its always nice to receive something like this to introduce you to new brands and also to have some little samples on hand for brands you already know and love. Especially love having small packets of baby wipes in the car for emergencies!
First off it was a lovely surprise to get the bag from our sonography clinic. (QUFW Brisbane). It was nice to get some tester products, but having some products that might be helpful for Dad would be nice! Maybe these would be cards showing father podcasts, books, or post natal support groups that are male-centric. Dad's tend to be forgotten a little, so having them have support and knowledge growth abilities with podcasts and book recommendations would be great!A wider range of products for pregnancy would also be good. For example I would have become surprisingly excited at getting some constipation remedy products or recommendations haha! (that's what I'm currently dealing with). And further to the podcasts and books for Dads, having the same thing for Mother and also for the parents as a 'couple' would be great too!The water flavouring tester (Water Drop) contained caffiene which given that I'm nauseated by coffee at the moment, (and many friends that have told me about their pregnancy and felt the same) it didn't feel like an ideal inclusion for me. Something without caffiene would have been nice to try!The actual cotton woven Baobag was great as well, it's always nice to have a bag that we can re-use like this.Thanks so much!Ellia (and Josh)

It was ok, I really like the dinner vouchers the best. So helpful when youre a mum to new born with minimal support. I like the wipes and nappies, they are very practical.
As a first time mum, it was really helpful to have a bag of information and samples. It is generally all new for first time mothers, and we need all the support and information we can get. I really enjoyed going through the bag and learning more about products that are available and alternatives to what I had already purchased.
I loved the BaoBag and all the products in it. It had some lovely surprises. As a new mom it's a wonderful gesture shown and feels very nice and special. Thanks to the beautiful team working in the background and getting it all sorted. The bag itself is very strong and multipurpose. Thanks again to the wonderful companies for their generous gesture
It is really great to have the opportunity to try out different products and find the product you love. If I don't have got the Baobag, I will never discover the brand/product I love which is puremama belly oil : )
So helpful for new parents and love it includes such a great range of products so you can try before you buy. A great addition to any prenatal appointments to make t what can be overwhelming decision making on products a bit easier for new parents

I absolutely love the idea of sample packs and education. If not fir this bag, I'd have gone for familiarity and not necessarily what's good. When going shopping I don't have the time to read the back of each pack or research. Sample packs let me sit down look, read and trial and im very thankful for them.
I really appreciated the sample products and the opportunity to be introduced to products I hadnt heard of such as Juca pouches.
I think it is a really nice mix of items, especially for first time parents that have not got a lot of experience with what you need when having a child. Its great to be able to try lots of different products to see what work for our specific baby and needs. I think its good to keep on top of new and emerging baby/mum trends, so that new parents can try out products without having to commit to a full purchase.

I think its such an exciting way to expose new parents to what is out there. Coming from my midwife it also feels like the items are trusted by professionals and things parents can feel confident to buy. Its so overwhelming with all the options and the BaoBag has made it easier to sample/buy products.
I think its a great idea especially for new mums or mums like myself who havent had a baby in a little while who might not be familiar with the range of baby products available. It can be quite overwhelming so to be given options to try I think that can alleviate some of the pressure for parents

Its a fantastic solutionI was pleasantly surprised to receive this bag filled with various testers and products. Its great to have the chance to try different items and find the perfect one for yourself. For those expecting their first child, having access to this information is incredibly valuable.
It was great seeing to try new products and it made me more aware of things I might need for my new baby. I hadnt considered having pain relief (neurofen) for children on hand before, but Im definitely buying some now to be prepared. I hadnt considered a baby photography shoot before, but I think we will organise one now. It was really good to be able to assess the quality of the baby wipes and nappies, and reminded me I needed to buy these items in preparation for my new baby - I actually bought a box of Huggies nappies and wipes when they were on special at Coles. It was great to see support information such as from the Gidget Foundation - this let me know I have help available if I need it.
The Baobag goody bag feels like a little treasure trove of parenting essentials! Whether youve received all the products or just a few, its a brilliant introduction to some standout baby-care brands. Its like Baobag has done the legwork for us parents, curating only the best of the best for our babies (and lets be honest, our sanity). From gentle nappy creams to eco-friendly wipes, and belly oils that make you feel like a goddess, every item feels thoughtfully selected. I love that it balances practicality with pamperingbecause, lets face it, new parents need a bit of both. Whether you're prepping for a newborn or sharing goodies with fellow moms, Baobag is a delightful mix of fun surprises and must-have essentials. If they didnt give you everything, it's just an excuse to keep exploring!
I have received several bao bags over the last few years and I keep the bag to use for packing spare clothes in the baby bag. Love that it's decent quality that I can reuse.
It was a great bag to receive, it had products that I hadn't heard of or considered e.g. the Belamy 6month+ food and the bedhead sunhat. Being pregnant/new parent can be overwhelming with the decisions that you have to make so having products that you can trial and see is really helpful.
