Nice brands for a new mum gift

11 replies

I'll need to send a new mum gift next month.
It's got to be sent overseas so nothing too heavy!
What are some nice brands / gift sets I can look at?
She's a mum who likes the nice things in life and my budget would be up to £100.

I'd be grateful for some ideas.

A nice hot drinks cup with a lid to decrease spills, like a chillys (https://www.chillys.com/uk/categories/cups-all) to help protect baby from hot fluids and increase chance of mum managing to drink a hot cup of tea as it’ll stay hot for longer. Might not be any good if doesn’t like tea or coffe though…

The chillys cup is a great idea, also on the theme of useful things that are also nice, zip bags are pretty essential for organising wet wipes, snacks, crayons etc in your bag. a zip bag with a nice print would be my go to gift!

otherwise snacks / chocolate. Water bottle with a straw? I was given a lot of body cream / bubble bath but I’m quite particular about scents so didn’t end up using a lot of it

Thanks all for some good ideas. Unfortunately she doesn't drink hot drinks but it is a good idea - I will bear in mind for other new mums! (I can remember trying to breast feed and drink a cup of tea - not easy!).

I like the idea of a bag, I could get a few little things to put in it too.

The white company is worth a look

AtleastitsnotMonday · 15/01/2024 19:44

White Company would be my first port of call. Or Molton Brown.
What about wrist warmers or gloves for buggy pushing?

UmaniCaroline · 15/01/2024 20:18

White Company a good idea, thanks.

I got a white company set. Pillow spray, candle, bubble bath etc. It's absolutely lovely.

Someone may have already said this but I've sent the almond L'Occitane hand cream and bar soap and to a few people with new babies, jobs where they wash their hands a lot, or just with sensitive skin and dry hands, and everyone has liked it and rebought it (or asked me to send more next birthday).

Oooh yes - I like that myself!
