I don't currently own a diaper bag. When my son was a baby, I used the free one that was given to me at the hospital. When that one quickly wore out, I used one that I received as a gift. Not too much later, I was given a super cute purse from my mom that just happened to have little pockets on the sides that worked perfectly for bottles and sippy cups. Two years later, I'm still using the same purse. Right now though, I'm eyeing the limited edition Heirloom, in honor of Petunia Pickle Bottom's tenth anniversary. It's got some pretty impressive features, including the ability to wear it as a messenger bag or a backpack, built in changing station with changing pad, four bottle pockets and a Petunia Pickle Bottom monogrammed wipes case. Talk about luxury! If, and when my purse wears out, and if and when we get around to having baby number two, a diaper bag from Petunia Pickle Bottom is going on my wish list, k?
WANT TO WIN? One winner will receive the Heirloom diaper bag from Petunia Pickle Bottom. To enter, leave a topic related comment on this post prior to Monday, March 22nd at Midnight. Please include your email address with your comment. Winner must provide a US mailing address.
Update: The winner is #212 Shayna. Congratulations!
I've been re-purposing large purses and bags to use as diaper bags since my sister took it upon herself to replace the boring one the hospital gives out. She's so thoughtful :) So I would looooove a Petunia Picklebottom diaper bag! Form and function and super cute to boot!!

I love Petunia Pickle Bottom! I think my handbag obsession just carried over to diaper bags when I had my son 3 years ago. We still use the PPB bag that I bought then, and now that I am expecting again, I need (or want :-) a new spring one!

You're brave for never having an official diaper bag! I'm a huge fan of diaper bags that wipe down easily, have a changing pad and matching wipes case. I don't have a PPB yet, but I'm sooo ready for one!

Its such a great idea, a backpack diaper bag. In fact while struggling with everything I needed to carry on top of the baby up 3 flights of stairs, I said, "I should switch to a backpack!" The idea was in my head now at this point. While shopping weeks later I spotted a woman with a child wearing a "boxy" backpack. When I arrived home I googled "boxy backpack" and there she was Petunia Pickle Bottom....the perfect backpack exists! Thank you for that! I'm loving all the great patterns and fabrics, glazed Heirloom being my fav!

We're expecting our first child in July! We've also just relocated from Kentucky to Florida. Needless to say we're a little overwhelmed but in a good way :o) I stumbled across Petunia Pickle Bottom and have fallen in love with everything Petunia Pickle Bottom, but we're living on a budget so splurging on a diaper bag is out of the question so I've been looking for a bag on ebay. Hopefully I can score one of these before the baby gets here. I just love that the bags can be worn as a backpack and that they are so functional.
ReplyDeleteMy friend has one of these bags and I fell in love with it!! New baby coming and I really want one, especially this fabric!

I also used the free one from the hospital at first. I didn't know any better. As my baby got a little older and I put more stuff in the bag, it wore out and broke. It also became such a pain to find anything! It was like a black hole in there.
ReplyDeleteI'm now expecting my second and with 2 children under 2, I need a bag that fits my needs. Compartments! Light interior to see things! My friend owns one and I love all the features this bag has to offer.
Oooh, would love this bag. I have been using a PPB diaper bag for my daughter for the last two years. I'm the type of person who changes my persons often, so I would love to change up the diaper bag, too!

I heart PPB!!! I discovered them while diaper bag hunting when I was prego. It's the best, in my opinion out there! Then you ask, "so why dont you have one?" well, let me tell you my story... (in a peanut shell). When I found out we were having a miracle baby i ended up having complications resulting in bedrest & a job loss. Hubby was in the mtg business during the recession & lost his job also. We've been trying to recover ever since, and have been making do with diaper bags & plastic bags you get from the grocery store! lol So we havent been able to afford a fabulous PPB diaper bag. So i really really really hope I win. =)

We use cloth diapers, so we need more space than the average diaper bag, but I don't want to carry a suitcase ;) A cute diaper bag goes a long way in helping you feel "put-together" with a pile of kids in tow!

I've been using the hospital diaper bag as well. I gave birth back in October to my beautiful baby girl. The experience at the hospital wasn't great. About a week after of being home I realized they had not given us their going home gift (hospital diaper bag) since I didn't have a diaper bag I went back to get it. I've been using it ever since. It is way to small. But we don't have funds for a larger bag, definitely not a Petunia. I was laid off (budget cuts) from my teaching job last year when I found out I was pregnant. I haven't been able to find another position except for subbing. I know it works out because I get to stay home with my little girl but now 50% of our income is gone. So, I'll be using my hospital diaper bag for a long time. I'm grateful to have it but it definitely is not a Petunia.
ReplyDeletecarolaphughes@gmail.com
I am actually going thought the same thing right now. I had my son almost 5 months ago and for a diaper bag i have been using the free similac diaper bag i got from the hospital. it has done its job but now it is not working. so lately i have been trying to find a bigger bag that can be used for a really cute purse but can also be used to carry my sons stuff too. but all the ones i want are too expensive and i would have to wait a whole YEAR to get a new one. So i would LOVE to win the heirloom bag! PLEASE!!!!

I seriously wish my husband could see the need for a functional bag when you have kids.

While discussing this with my frugal husband, he honestly suggested I use a grocery bag for all my baby loot! And being the helpful guy that he is gave me a little tip: "use one from target, they seem stronger."

I love Petunia Picklebottom. I always used cheap diaper bags or a backpack with my first two children. With my third, I was set on having a PPB with the laminate material. I was able to get a touring tote off of one of the outlet sales, and I LOVE it! I use it as both my purse and my diaper bag. It is a little small for a newborn, especially because we travel quite a bit, so I would love, love, love a boxy backpack (not to mention how beautiful this one is!).

I remember the days before baby when I spent hours researching the perfect stroller, the perfect pump, the perfect bottles, and the perfect diaper bag - well we ended up getting the stroller as a gift, I hate to pump and my son doesn't take a bottle - he's 11 mos - but the bag was perfect! My PPB bag has gone everywhere and I'd love to have a new one to help us survive year 2! Plus being a Cal Poly grad you have to love seeing a Cal Poly idea as mainstream as PPB!

I convinced my husband that I needed a diaper bag from petunia with our first son a year ago...now that I'm pregnant with our second I think I deserve another one. :) I love that this bag can be a backpack (I need all the hands I can get!) I also love how many pockets it has...it's perfect for 2 babies!

HI! Just read your blog for the first time--very fun! And by the way, you shouldn't wait till your current bag falls apart--I think you deserve a Petunia now, while your little guy is still little! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteThree years ago, I fell in love with Petunia Picklebottom bags! I was helping host a shower when a good friend of mine received a Picklebottom bag. Even before I had my son, I always eyed their bags online. Now I have a 6 month old and this bag would be perfect! I love how they are so stylish, and functional.

My husband and I are having our first baby due 3 days before our 9 year anniversary! My sister-in-law has a PPB diaper bag she loves and pointed them out to me saying they are a "must have". I love the new Heirloom bag. I especially like the fabric design. Would love to win as I still don't have a diaper bag. Thanks!!

I love PPB bags my gf's and I have a tradition that whenever one of us are pregnant we buy them a PPB. I started the tradition in hopes that when it was my turn I too would have one.
ReplyDeletebmpsplace@yahoo.com
I also don't have a diaper bag, per se, we just use my husband's old backpack, and one of the straps is broken! PPB makes such well designed bags!
ReplyDeletePetunia Pickle Bottom bags are absolutely gorgeous! I am due with my first in June and just discovered these bags recently. It's so refreshing to see something that us Mom's can really enjoy for ourselves and the baby! I love all of the options and that they don't look like typical diaper bags...so fashionable!

I have been using a ten dollar purse From a discount store. I love to get the most out of my money and this purse has worked so far, for a toddler. I am SURE that i will need a larger Diaper Bag come July when the newest little addition comes along. We are so excited to add to our family, I am not so excited to try and stuff all the stuff in my purse. But we Moms have to do what we gotta do.
ReplyDeleteI love this bag. I have been waiting a long time to have another baby and now I am so excited to have a reason to buy one of these bags. I hope luck is on my side!

For my first child I recieved a clutch from Petunia Pickle Bottom. It's great it holds wipes, a changing pad, diapers and there's even room for a bottle, plus my sunglasses and wallet. The best part is no one knew it was a diaper bag, I received so many compliments on my cute purse.

When I had my first child, I changed bags over 10 times, until I finally found a bag that had all the features I wanted, but was really plain, ugly, and not stylish at all. Now, I'm pregnant with baby #2, and I am not going to just settle for another bag. I would LOVE this Petunia bag! The fact that it has all the features that I want and more, makes me LOVE this bag.
ReplyDeleteI hope I get picked, I could really use this bag.

ReplyDeletenelsonbubbas@gmail.com
I am about to have my first baby and, among all of the decisions to make (from cribs to baths to clothes), choosing a diaper bag has been one of the most difficult! Maybe it has been, for me, a part of giving up part of who I am as a person and succumbing to this new role as "mom". Now decisions take on a whole other meaning. It's more about what is going to make sense now and for a long while as opposed to what is going to make me happy right here, right now. It seems that is what is so great about the Petunia Pickle Bottom bags. They allow a mom to take on her new role as a caregiver, lugging diapers, bottles, and whatnot without her having to give up who she is-still a fun-loving fashionista who values looking good and who hasn't sacrificed confidence in her new role. This is especially the case for the heirloom bag. Not only is it great looking and durable, but it's also stylishly timeless and will work again for babies 2, 3, etc.

I am 16 weeks pregnant with my first child. My husband is starting law school the month I am due, August. I have seen Petunia Pickle Bottom bags and have loved everyone of them no matter what the style is. I am one to carry around as little as possible, so to have a diaper bag that is more stylish than my purse I currently own would be heaven! I would love, love, love to have this bag, because it might just be the nicest baby thing I will own!

PPB is so wonderful! Most diaper bags are pretty boring...these are hip and fun! We couldnt afford a new PPB bag but I got a recycled one at a mom swap and LOVE it, I am the 4th owner so its pretty worn out at this point, but you have to admit, thats a lot of mileage out of a bag! Would love to win a new one...fingers crossed!Jenwoosley(at)gmailcom

To jump on the bandwagon can I just say I would LOVE, with a super deluxe capital "L", this diaper bag? We are saving for a house and the hubs would string me up by my thumbs if I bought me some PPB instead of putting that money in the house account...Also my b-day is Friday so winning one would probably be one of the best b-day presents I could think of.

I will be a first time Mom to sweet Baby Caroline in early May! I love this pattern on the Heirloom bag! It reminds me of the designs in her nursery...it has an "owl-like" design pattern. The colors are perfect! I purchased the small clutch bag and think it's super cute, but this would be a great larger diaper bag! :)

As a first time mom, I was not so enthused at the idea of bright animal clad and dowdy looking baby bags. I wanted a bag I could proudly carry with or without my baby that still showed we have a sense of style. My Petunia Pickle Bottom bag is just that. I love it and now that we are preparing for baby #2 I would love the chance to update my look. My bag is super functional, with or without the baby. I get comments on it all the time. Seriosuly 2 years later, I am in loooove with my bag and how good I feel to have it with me! So glad I splurged on it, as it was the best baby item I selected!!!

I had a PPB backpack with my son and used it until the straps actually came unstiched. I called PPB and they replaced it with a new glazed one. However I was not preggo or planning on it either so I gave it to my sis-in law who was. She was so happy. Now, a year later, I am about to pop, due in 3 weeks April 5th, and no diaper bag let alone a PPB glazed Heirloom! I would love this so much. They are my fave!

i was the same - i used the free one from the doctor's office and then the one from the hospital... i couldnt decide what bag i wanted and had no idea what would work for me. i LOVED the petunia bags and talked about them constantly - just assuming i couldnt afford them (dual to single income and a baby!). but my sweet husband said - just get one already if you like it that much!!! so i got one...a touring tote - love it and still use it! of course, i had to get a society satchel too! love that one as well. a backpack in the wonderful heirloom style would round out my collection!!
ReplyDeleteI have been with my high school sweetheart for over 24 years now. We are Married and have a 16yr old and an 11 year old. Nearing 40 years of age we were almost ready to start planning for retirement. Little did we know that a vasectomy could fail!!! Needless to say with were blessed with Manhattan Grace , our miracle 6 month old. After the initial shock and her arrival I found out how in the short 11 years baby gear has come so far. I am the proud owner of a cake society satchel and would love to try the boxy ! It is stunning! Pickle bottom makes me feel beautiful,trendy and stylish.
