We received our bag on admission to hospital - it was waiting in our room. It was such a lovely surprise. And such a beautiful quality bag - it really felt special. The variety is nice and we particularly loved the Dinner Ladies voucher and nappy samples.

I thought the range and quality of the products was fantastic. My favourite items were: -The dinner ladies voucher, as I think this kind of service is one of the most useful things for new parents. -the body/stretch mark oils, as it's good to try different products and find the one that works best with your skin.

This is my second time receiving the Bao Bag in hospital at the SAN. Such a wonderful and welcome gift. We particularly love the dinner ladies voucher. So great to have the chance to sample other baby products too

I was really pleased with the overall contents of the bag - it was a good range of products (eg some for mum, some for bub, some for before birth and some for after). The samples were all decent enough sizes that you could actually test out the product. I'm especially excited by the Dinner Ladies voucher and it's always handy to have extra wet wipes in convenient sized packets!
It had some lovely items for new parents and useful for families regardless if first time mum or not, love the belly oil and the dinner ladies voucher.

This was a lovely bag of goodies to receive in hospital. The little sample packs were useful and I liked learning about new companies we may want to use especially the dinner voucher ladies.

I love this bag. I think it has a good variety of products for expecting mums. I especially think the dinner mums gift card is useful

I loved the dinner ladies voucher, so thoughtful! I think the bag is such a beautiful touch to a scan appointment. The magazine was also my favourite. I really enjoyed enjoyed the belly oil too. Very thoughtful and actionable gifts.
Overall, the Baobag offers a great mix of products for both mums and babies. The Dinner Ladies voucher is generous and practical, while the Weleda Nappy Cream and Demarcate Stretchmark Oil are standout skincare items. I appreciate the Huggies and Water Wipes for their trusted brands and eco-friendly options. The Vitaceuticals Iron Supplement is a thoughtful addition for boosting energy and iron levels and the Pure Mama Belly Oil has been a hit with both me and my friends. Im excited to continue testing these products as my baby arrives!

The bag as a whole is great for new mums who have no idea what they are looking for product wise as a first time mum. Getting products to feel and touch makes the overwhelming process so much better

I think the BaoBag is a great idea for Mums to sample different products before spending money on the full sized item. It has allowed me to change different brands to the ones that suit my baby best and I have managed to do this from using my BaoBag. I love the information provided too and the vouchers included for money off is an extra bonus!

The BaoBag is a fantastic initiative and so thoughtful for new mums for what can be an overwhelming journey. It may be helpful to provide a framework that helps first time mums make decisions about what is important for key items they need and leverage the great community you have (ie share their collective input). Thanks again!

I was so excited to receive this bag after my ultrasound. This is my first pregnancy and its been a wild journey of constant change and adjustment! Women are amazing , our bodies are a humans first home. In the bag I especially enjoyed the Pure Mama body oil!!
I wasnt expecting to receive the bag, and I felt really touched, supported and grateful to receive it. We have been having IVF for 13 months and this is our first pregnancy and baby. Financially this past year has been challenging, so I am so grateful for the samples. I was particularly excited to receive the pure mama belly oil as I had been thinking of purchasing, however had not wanted to due to cost and being unsure if Id like the product. Thank you again!

It was great to receive a magazine in the bag this time! Physical samples in the bag are much better than qr codes as time poor mamas wont do 10 steps online for a single nappy.

In some places it has been handed out and in others we have been entitled to it but had to ask about it. Ive had brands like photographers ask me how they can get in the bag themselves! Obviously I dont know haha! We use the bag every day as an extra outfit bag within our baby bag. I wonder if the bag itself could be designed to be a specific item like the way we use it. Others might appreciate the suggestion.

I generally don't take these kind of promo bags as there is very little information and samples to try out however I did take the time to go through the pack and I'm very surprised with the generous samples provided and the information about the products. Very useful for first time parents!

BaoBag is a great and welcome inclusion on our arrival at the maternity ward. It has been 9 years since our last baby, and seeing these new products and suppliers really helps to know what is available.
I think its a great idea to have more than one sample of the same product (ie two samples of nappies or wipes from two different brands). For first time mums, you may not be familiar with the brands and products, so is wonderful to be able to sample the brand & product before you buy. So great to also include things like body oil or nipple cream samples as first time mums may not be familiar that these products are even in the market. Great variety of products, might be good to also include items like breast pads or maternity pads as the feel and quality of these vary, so would also be great to be able to sample and build additional visibility for these brands.
