A hug in a bag (or 2, plus some birth boards 🥰).
That's what I call this. I know I have spoken about this before but it always warms my heart.
Gifting clothes, equipment to a new mum is something that should be celebrated, its a hug in a bag.
It's not just 'stuff' or a hug, a nod to what is to come raising a new baby, knowing that you are seen. Love knowing you are not alone, and memories.
Gifting someone clothes, blankets, its not just fabric it's memories and sometimes it takes a lot to pass it on.
I've recently just given all my stuff away to my little sister. I wasn't just giving her old clothes (my kids are 11 and 9) it was memories.
I remember being given 2 bin bags full of dresses for a 2 year old by a paramedic I used to work with, her kids where much older. Now I realise she held onto them, not because they are cute, because of the memories.
So its a hug, a nod, passing on of memories.
Thank you to my lovely client and now friend for passing this on. 🥰
