FOR HER

For her. Not the baby.

The registry is for the baby. The nappy cake is for the baby. She's the one growing a whole human — give her something.

NUTRITION

Just what the doctor ordered.

Dates and late pregnancy have real research behind them. These also taste like lollies. The snack and the science, for once, agree.

Variety

Not your grandma's date.

Not everyone loves plain dates. And even for those who do, eating them for weeks on end gets boring. But not these.

WHY EAT DATES

Turns out there's actual research on this.

Several peer-reviewed studies have looked specifically at eating dates in the final weeks of pregnancy. The findings are specific: women who ate six dates a day in the last four weeks were significantly more likely to go into labour spontaneously, and needed less medical help to get things started.

There's also the practical stuff. Dates are high in fibre, potassium, and natural sugars that give steady energy rather than a spike and a crash. In the third trimester, that matters more than it sounds.

We're not a health product. But if someone's going to snack her way through the home stretch, these are a better call than a bag of snakes.

QUESTIONS

You might be wondering...

What's in them?
Dates are a whole food. Our snacks are just dates (from Iran), coconut oil, citric acid and natural flavours (plant-based extracts). Fizzy Lemonade also has some sodium bicarbonate. But that's it.. No sweeteners, nothing artificial.
Why dates during pregnancy?

Dates have a real evidence base in late pregnancy. Multiple studies (including a 2024 meta-analysis covering 48 trials) link six dates a day in the final four weeks to shorter labour, less induction, and more spontaneous onset. They also bring fibre, iron, magnesium, and folate, which all matter in the third trimester.

The catch: plain dates every day for a month is a slog. That's the gap Bougie fills. Same fruit, naturally flavoured to taste like lollies, in a format she'll actually finish.

Can I choose the flavour mix?
If you reach out to us when ordering, we can usually accommodate a different split between flavours.
How long does shipping take?
We ship every weekday from Melbourne so most destinations take 1-4 days. More regional areas can take 5 days. We do our best to be fast but often its couriers who dictate delivery windows.
Is there gift-wrapping?
The box comes presentation ready (as shown on pictures) and is mailed in a protective mailing box. So you can just take it out of the shipper and gift it on.
