NICU Care Bags

Get ready to see this a few more times over the next month or so! This will be Micaiah's "project" in place of birthday gifts. His party will be mid-November & we would like to collect items by then.
*****
It's hard to believe, but Micaiah's first birthday is fast approaching! We spent last Thanksgiving in the hospital thankful for the blessing of our new baby but wishing we were home. In celebration of Micaiah's birthday, we would like to make treat bags to take to the NICU for families to receive on Thanksgiving Day. If you would like to help, please see the list below.
Our goal is to make 24 bags-enough for each family.  We are telling you early so we will have plenty of time to find items on sale & stock up! Thanks in advance!
NICU Care Bag Ideas:
Small hand sanitizers & lotions
Small notebooks & pens
Chapstick
Little lovey blankets (that moms can leave their scent on & leave with baby)
Knit or crochet hats (I have patterns)
Receiving blankets
Small knit or crochet blankets (I have patterns)
Individually wrapped snacks/candy
Small packs of tissues

  1. I want to send you some lovey blankets! Maybe 10 or so depending on what I get to? :) Will you email me your address?? I can't believe Micaiah is going to be one already!
