Waiting for Baby with “Windows & Wishes”


Although there are many trials in life, “waiting patiently” for something big to happen is surely in the running for the top ten. Many moms will agree that counting down to when baby is due might be one of the most joyous, yet suspenseful times in a mom’s life. After the initial joy of expecting, there are rounds of doctor’s visits, tests, prepping baby’s layette and room, and getting everyone’s schedule in sync for the big day. There is an 8-month blur of activity and when everything’s done… it’s time to wait. The last month before baby arrives can be especially anxious. One way to celebrate that journey is to count the days down with a special calendar.

Windows & Wishes brings moms a calendar that celebrates the last month of pregnancy. The Baby Countdown Calendar was birthed from the idea that moms would like a truly different gift to mark the time until baby’s arrival. What better way to celebrate the last month than with uplifting encouragement designed to inspire the expectant?

Attendees at the Atlanta Gift Show in January seemed to agree, as the Baby Countdown Calendar was well received: “Retailers were so excited to discover a baby shower gift that was this unique and creative, exclaiming that they had never seen anything like it before. Show sales far surpassed [my] expectations and have only continued to increase since!” explained Weiner. “I recently found out that my calendar has been voted as a Top 10 finalist in the The Stationery Trends Awards (a.k.a ‘The Trendys’).”

Kim Weiner, a Tampa, Florida native and now mom of three, was inspired to create the calendar by her own journey to find something special for the final days before baby arrived. About to give birth to baby number 3, Weiner was disappointed by the products available. Armed with her creativity and drive, she developed the countdown calendar as a way to inspire and uplift moms.

The multi-hued Baby Countdown Calendar offers 30 days of special sentiments. Each re-closeable “window” on the calendar offers advice or quotes designed to appeal to the expectant mom. The last “window” on the calendar reveals a keepsake charm. The calendar boasts original artwork and enough space (15” x 21”) for friends and families to offer their own sentiments to the growing family.

The Baby Countdown Calendar works well at showers, but could also make a fun surprise gift before the big day. It would look sweet hanging in baby’s room or in the play area for others to enjoy.
