Baby Box

For more than 75 years, expectant Finnish mothers have been given a box by the state that serves as a new baby starter kit. The box is filled with clothes, blankets, and newborn necessities and the box itself is lined with a mattress, serving as the infant's first crib and leading to one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world.

An actual Finnish Baby Box

Ever since I first heard of the Finnish Baby Box tradition, I've wanted one. While Finnish mothers receive this box for free and it is STUFFED with everything you could possibly need (51 items) and tailored seasonally, ordering one into the states costs upwards of $450.

My Nature Box from The Baby Box Company
Contains: 1 X traditional Finnish-inspired Baby Box (length 70 cm, width 43 cm and height 27 cm) and lid designed with The Baby Box Company's current collection pattern, 1 X fitted baby mattress w/ 1 X waterproof cover and 1 X 100% cotton sheet, 1 X lovey, 2 X onesies, 3 X swaddle blankets, 1 X healthcare kit, 2 X pair of socks, 2 X terry cloth bib, 2 X organic washcloths, 2 X organic burp cloths, 1 X pair of mittens, 1 X newborn cap, 1 X organic shampoo & body wash, 1 X baby wipes, +Bonus Samples and Coupons from Sponsors!

Luckily, The Baby Box Co. offers a US version, which- while not quite as stuffed as the "real deal"- runs at much more reasonable price point(i used a promotion for $25 off during their new pattern release and paid $125 for the Nature version-which is the middle pricepoint. Boxes range from $69 for just the lined box to $225 for the Every Mother Counts box) and allows you the experience. As our child outgrows this, I will fill the box with my favorite baby pieces to hopefully pass on to his own child decades later.

The box comes with a discount code for $25 off the purchase of a babybox. Obviously, I already have a baby box (which i used a $25 promo code on myself), and am not planning on gifting to anyone anytime soon, so to pay it forward:

MY code is BABY2514 for $25 off

I don't know if the code is single use or multiple use, so whoever gets it first gets it first.

FB15 gets you 15% off instead

We did choose Bambo as our diaper choice, and the sample in this box comes with a coupon code for 30% off on their website, which we will definitely be using. (i bought 4 cases of diapers with the 25% coupon Bambo gave me months ago, but i'm sure we'll need lots more)
