Most Aussie cloth nappy shops have a newsletter, mum’s club – some sort of announcement list you can join for free to keep up to date with their activities. Keep your eye out for giveaways held only through this list – it is also a way to get much cheaper cloth nappies when they have clearances to make way for new stock. Some lists will have a discount voucher for list members, so you can get a discount on certain products or on your entire order. Free postage is another offer you can see at times through these lists. Easy to join, easy to unsubscribe and resubscribe as the state of your inbox needs, this is a simple way to help you find free cloth nappies!
There are an increasing number of sponsored nappy competitions appearing online. One of the aims is to introduce you to nappy retailers, who donate a nappy to a competition. Some have quite extensive prize pools, others promote particular ideas, such as the Green Promise Nappy Giveaway, which encourages every family to have one ‘green’ nappy for their baby to wear, being a constant reminder of how easy it is to save money and reduce household spending on disposables. Another is the Great Cloth Nappy Hunt, held twice a year.
Puzzles of any sort challenge the brain and research shows over and over that people who regularly stretch their ‘grey matter’ have a higher thinking capacity and are able to keep their brain power dexterity with more ease. This is something that you may feel drifting when living in a baby’s world… Winning free stuff for your baby in online nappy competitions is a double whammy – winning useful products, giving your brain a break and a bit of a workout at the same time!
