Small token gift for sort of colleague going on maternity leave

[StealthPolarBear]

I've been working with someone in another organisation and she's been wonderful.
She goes on leave soon and I'd like to give her a small gift. Any ideas? She also has a toddler.

Socks/baby tights?

While I'm sure the new baby is lovely, he or she didn't run the report we needed :o
I could get her flowers but anything else?

A 'born in 2019' baby grow which will double up as a keepsake babygrow?

Other 'born in 2019' stuff- Jojo has little hats, wooden star hanging nursery decoration etc

Something personal.... if she likes reading then a book token.... if she likes pampering a bath set or whatever. I agree on something for her rather than the baby. Or posh chocs...

Voucher to coffee place for when she’s on mat leave?

Sock-ons are my go-to small presents for babies

Nice bubblebath
Costa giftcard (baby friendly)
Cleaning session with a local cleaning company
Hamper of ‘cook’ food
A good water bottle(like chilly) or similar for stuck-on-the-sofa days

A really nice hand cream from somewhere like L'Occitane. I had some bought for me when I had a baby it was a nice treat to use throughout the day. Didn't have time for any other kind of self care.

A distant work contact bought DS the very smallest jellycat bunny, I think it's called the tiny bunny and is about £7, it's about the size of a toddlers hand, DS is almost 9 and still sleeps with it now.

Tiny hat for the baby
Nice hand cream for her
Book for the toddler
Sorted.

Coffee gift card & hand cream/bath stuff. Or a voucher for a nail salon for a pedicure if she’s at the can’t reach her toes stage.

Chocolates or hand cream or a coffee shop voucher (or chocolates and a coffee shop voucher!)

Definitely a coffee voucher, baby socks were never used (I got zillions) and they always fall off

Chocolate. I got bloody mum-to-be toiletries, which is not ideal when your already a mum to a demanding toddler. Can always make time for chocolate.
Costa card good too.

Amazing hand cream, some sort of food voucher,

Those insulated mugs with a lid. I always had cold tea until I dug our camping ones out doubly so with a baby and toddler.

Nice chocolate or a delivery of cupcakes.

Coffe vouchers and a travel mug.

Lovely hand cream, neom ones are gorgeous, they smell incredible

My work friends bought me a bottle of gin (much appreciated) and a glass with a lid and a straw so that I could have an easy non spill glass of water (not gin) whilst breastfeeding :) lovely idea OP xx

Depends on the person and if you want to buy for her or the baby.

For baby:
Baby vest/socks/hat/grow
Baby book - 'That's not my...' books are fun and the toddler will like them. Elmer is good.

For mum:
Chocolates
Nice hand cream
Lidded cup (great if breast feeding)

Tbh, the thought will be appreciated x

A multipack of Ka. (Grape variety).

Oh, wrong thread.

Baby slipper boots are usually well received in the winter.

Pretty scarf

Neals yard mother's bath oil - recommended for during and after pregnancy so the essential oils are safe. Nice hand cream, hat for baby, book for toddler.

Also Berts bees have mama bee and baby bee ranges. There's a current thread of mn testers on the baby range and they seem impressed.
