Hello there!


I hope this doesn't seem cheeky but I?m hoping to do a master baker trade for baby goods. I make a mean cake and would love to make someone a victoria sponge / carrot / chocolate cake / batch of brownies or cake of choice in exchange for coveted baby items in decent condition. Hopefully perfect for a birthday party, special occasion or just a good old fashioned afternoon tea!


I?m looking for:

baby byorn carrier sling

Baby byorn bouncing chair

Moses basket

small microwave

Bed side troll crib

Cot bed


Happy to make multiple cakes or supplement with cash for the bottom two items. I live in Peckham Rye and could deliver cake and collect items at any convenient time.


Many thanks for reading :)

What a great idea! I don't have any of the above sadly but can I be cheeky and say, please consider other slings or soft structured carriers other than the Baby Bjorn? There are loads of threads on this on here and also the fabulous resource of the South London Sling Library (based in Beckenham) but as a starter for ten these slings will last you much longer and be better for both your back and baby than the BB:


Ergo

Connecta

Manduca (my favourite; currently using with 11 mo in lieu of buggy and used with my eldest til he was almost 2.5)

Beco Gemini / Butterfly or Soleil

Moby wrap for early days

Rose and Rebellion

Boba 4G


These might cost you more than a cake though as the resale value remains high (unlike the BB which come up often and don't retain value as don't last very long).


Hope you don't mind my post... But babywearing / good sling is such a fantastic gift to mother and baby I wanted to give some pointers!

Thanks folks! Great advice about the slings too. Kam1 and Gruffaloschild I'll PM you both next week if that's ok as I'm having a small baby shower this weekend. I had said no pressies needed but there may be the odd hand me down so I should probably not acquire more stuff before then. I'll definitely be in touch next week though. Thank you!

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
