Asda Baby event Johnson & Johnson boxes - £10 box & £20 box - exactly the same!

sorry to be a wet blanket, but I dont think these boxes are very MSE as you dont need most of these products.

the only things I would use are the baby bath and the wipes all of which you can probably get cheaper supermarket own brand or by buying on multipack offers - recently got 6 packs johnsons wipes for £5.

you are not supposed to use baby powder at all in case the baby inhales it. I was told to use olive oil for dry skin on newborns as its a natural product and in the house anyway, so no need for baby oil. never worked out what you are supposed to do with baby lotion.

supermarket own brand baby bath is fine, we were taught to wash baby's hair in water from the bath no separate shampoo needed, at least until they are toddler age really and have grown a lot of hair.

told you I was going to be a wet blanket! if you really, really want to buy all the products anyway then it may be a deal I suppose.

We bought one of these a while back as clairehi says, there are things that you don't use but we think it's great as we still use it 15 months on for changing purposes and is left in our room- looks better than leaving anything else out and we have decorated it with picture of nemo and monkeys as our little girl loves looking at it whilst having her nappy changed

It's a lovely item for a present though - which is what I was wanting it for. For people who prefer to use Johnson & Johnson products (for whatever reason) then it most definitely is a bargain as it would cost more than £10 to buy all of these products together.

The box itself is perfect for having nappies etc stored neatly and out of the way as others have said.

I have to say as well, I personally use all the J&J products in the box and prefer them to cheaper brands (I was using tesco for a while but you don't get the same long lasting moisture feeling from the lotion as the J&J ones) so it's def a bargain for me

I got bought one of these for my daughter (£10 with all full size bottle) and although a couple of the things aren't initially overly handy the box was great to keep nappies wipes etc in with the change mat in the front room.

My mum still has the one I got, it was rather handy to keep all the stuff in and nappies as well, rather than having it all over the place.

These boxes normally go down to £5 at the end of the baby events too I bought one for a friend when her boy was born (at £5) took all the stuff out, kept the box, made a beautiful memory box, bought a blanket, teddy and some socks and put it all together, was a gorgeous pressie

I bought one of these last year when they went down to £5 and my "baby's" 14. I just wanted the box to stash all the Lush goodies we get in the sales in the bathroom. I found it perfect. Oh and we did make use of a few of the products as well baby bath, talc, cotton buds and wipes etc so in my opinion a real bargain. In fact my daughter wants her own this year to keep all her make-up in !!!!
