the baby will not care at all. i used a backpack for a diaper bag for both my kids ( i still have it).

Keep it and use it! The baby will not care!

Just don't expect your hubby to carry it!

In keeping with the 'saver' part of the Mommysavers forum, do you really need another diaper bag? I know it is cute, but is that really the best way to spend that gift money?

It is for me so shouldn't I be able to buy myself something? I spent the 50 dollar gift card I got for Christmas on stuff we needed like diapers and food. What are you the money police? The money was for me so what else should I get for ten bucks? What if I bought myself a new shirt maybe I don't necessarily need it but why can't I buy something for myself once in awhile. You don't know me so I don't want or need your advice. I didn't ask if I should have gotten it. I just asked if I could use it for a boy. Thanks anyway but I find your comment rude go mess up someone else's birthday. Furthermore I am saving the rest of the money not that it is your business.

Whoa! I didn't mean you couldn't treat yourself. It just that you said you already had a diaper bag. Seems to me, if you were going to treat yourself, you might want to spend the money on something a little less 'practical' and more of a real splurge. How about a pedicure? How about a special plant for the garden? A book you've been aching to read? A special candle or reed diffuser? A tennis lesson?

We're 'mommy' 24/7 as it is. You get to spend $20 on just you. I was thinking you might want to spend the money on something unique, not duplicating something you already own.

Ok sorry, I see what you are saying now. But in my line of work a pedicure isn't pratical. I have plenty of books and I don't read much at the moment, I guess I could have used a plant but the weather isn't motivating me. To be honest I did need another diaper bag because the big one's handles are falling apart and it is starting to hurt my back so I wanted to down size a bit for now unless we go away for a few days or something and need the small bag. I am one of those people that feels guilty for spending money on myself so I take it personally sometimes. Sorry if I was harsh I guess it hurt my feelings.

i agree the diaper bag is for the mom not the baby and since we moms carry them around it is nice to have something pretty!! Best of luck happy birthday
we need to work together here.

Sounds like a super cute diaper bag! I often carried a really big purse that wasn't at all intended to be a diaper bag, but it worked and was stylish. Sounds great!

I am still using that free one from Enfamil and I must say that there are many times when I wish that someone would 'gift' me a nice pretty one! I won't go buy one myself b/c I don't technically 'need' it but it would be nice...
good for you for getting something that you want with your bday $$
