Know someone who’s expecting a new baby and overwhelmed by all those “well-meaning” advice? Or are you not sure what gift to give to the couple who already has everything?

If so, this is the perfect card to n give! A simple note to remind any new-parent-to-be to celebrate the pure and simple joy of parenthood.

Forget the baby yoga lessons! Forget the thousand-dollar stroller! In this world where raising a baby seems as complicated as sending a man to outer space, all that matters to this little birdie is knowing that her eggs are safe and sound in their cozy little nest.

Each card will be wrapped in a clear cello bag and shipped with care.

:: In case you can't read it in the photo, this is what’s in the background text ::

“You definitely want that all-terrain high-maneuverability stroller with this quasi-reversible seat and no-touch folding mechanism in “pea soup”. And don’t forget the cup-holder attachment. It’s on sale for $900! Is that eczema on your baby’s face? Try switching to that homeopathic wheat-free melamine-free taste-free hypoallergenic formula. I heard baby acupuncture helps too, but you do have to do it 8 times a week. And make sure your crib bedding is an all organic 30% cotton / 3% angora / 67% hemp blend and launder them in 89.5 degree soapy water or your baby could suffer from horrible allergies forever. I don’t think you should buy those dirt cheap store brand diapers anymore. Heard they are stuffed with recycled nuclear waste from China. Do you know that babies who learn sign language are 4.2% smarter than those who don’t? My junior can recite the entire Shakespeare collection in sign language by the age of 2. It might be too late for yours now but do try the Mongolian Immersion Program. Your kid will get a head start in life and you can thank me later. And I heard European women routinely breastfeed until the kids are 5 or 6. That’s how European women stay so thin. Those baby swings are a big no-no, your baby will grow up with a lifetime of vertigo. Sharing bed with your baby can cause in-grown toenail…”

Whoa. Seriously.
