New mum gift ideas please

[excelledyourself]

I'm going to a baby shower and would like to get the mum something just for her, especially as this has been an even more stressful pregnancy than she could have imagined. Her baby is due in just over a month and I'll get something specifically for baby then, once I know if it's a boy or girl.

Can anyone tell me what they most loved to receive as a new mum gift? Or anything you have given that seemed really appreciated? Budget is only about £20 since I'll buy for baby too.

Thanks.

Natalia New Mother bath soak

Thanks @Ricekrispie22 the bath soak looks nice. I drink herbal teas myself, but never heard her say she does. Cheap enough to chuck in for her to try though!

Anyone else?

these are amazing, I still listen to mine and my son is now nearly seven: www.auraskymusic.com/product/babblesong/ and bang on budget!

Lovely shower gels (when that baby comes showers are a luxury.

Or some nice hair stuff I really appreciated mine

My friends got me a little bag of really personal stuff when my son was in the NICU. There was a crafting magazine, a bag of hairibo, some chocolate, a lovely notebook, some colouring pencils and an adult colouring book. Nothing expensive or amazing to most but I loved it as it was really tailored to me and they’d really thought about it.

My friend got me a bag of stuff when I was pregnant with DD1 and it was genuinely one of the most thoughtful things I've ever had. And nothing too fancy but everything got used - dry shampoo, really nice lip balm, cosy socks (loved these on the postnatal ward), some chocolate, a book she knew I'd enjoy. My favourite was a wee heart shaped hot water bottle that was a godsend in labour - it was the perfect size to tuck down my front in my pants to ease the pains.
