First The Stork, Then Pressieport!

The speed with which new mums leave hospital these days means they are often longer in the labour ward than anywhere else! Getting to see the new arrival is then a tricky one to handle. Do you dash in straightaway to see the poor mother looking shell-shocked and the baby in the middle of the 'green emissions' stage (and that has nothing to do with greenhouse gases!)? Or do you give them a 'few days' in which case they have been kicked out of the hospital and the new parents are in sleep deprivation mode, their lives controlled by The Twelve Inch Tyrant who seems to require minimal sleep and maximum yowling to keep going? They can barely see you let alone have a chat or make a cup of coffee. Not to mention the danger that they might ask you to hold the baby for a few minutes - or as I have frequently found, decide to discuss in detail the nappy contents of the new arrival as they offer you a chocolate biscuit...

And of course, then there's the gift dilemma. Do you risk buying an outfit for less than 12 months in the hopes that you will get to see the child in the first year? Perhaps it's better to send a 'My First Year' memento gift, so that when you do get to see the Little Mary or Tommy there is at least a record of that first year for you to admire?

Well, we've been faced with this dilemma so often at Pressieport (many fertile friends!) that we decided to at least solve the present-buying issue. We now have same day delivery in Dublin. So, whether you buy the 0-6 Johnny Socks or the Nappy Cake (3-6months) or the My First Year Photo frame, you can be sure it will arrive while the child is still in the right age bracket.

As for visiting the little darlings - well, you'll have to solve that dilemma yourselves. (21st Birthday invitations anyone?)

Happy shopping!

Handmade Irish Baby Nappy Cakes

We are delighted to introduce our new range of Baby Cakes on pressieport.ie. These make an excellent and practical alternative gift for the proud new parents. I know everyone is talking doom and gloom, but rather than spend money on a bunch of flowers that will be gone in a week, why not try one of these instead?


Each Baby Cake contains tonnes of stuff from nappies, to bibs, bottles and much more. Only the highest quality ingredients are used in the making of these cakes and they are not only beautiful, but practical! As if that isn't enough to convince you, remember that each of these Baby Cakes is handmade in Ireland!

These Baby Cakes are exclusive to Pressieport and cannot be found elsewhere. They can be delivered overnight or in many cases (particularly in Dublin) on same day delivery.

With each of the Baby Cakes, you get an 'Ingredients Card' to let the new parents know exactly what's inside and a greeting card. You tell us what to write on the card and we'll take care of it!

At the moment, we have 3 Tier Cakes for the newborn baby boy and the newborn baby girl. Look out for our new 2 Tier Baby Cakes which should be here very soon.
