My sister in law is poorly after having her 2nd baby. We are very close but live far apart. I will be visiting this weekend to help. All food/housework etc has been sorted. I will be looking after my nephew while im there overnight and when needed.
I would love to take her something nice to enjoy, a nice product for the shower face cream etc. She loves all things like that. So what would you take/get?

The stretch mark cream. I used loads recently after just having my baby. Bottles and bottles of the stuff.

A magazine and treats. So she can curl up in a corner and just switch off for a bit.

Body butter, hand cream, face mask, good chocolate, fancy tea/coffee/hot chocolate or whatever she likes drinking

in my close circle of friend we always let family get the usual stuff and then we get each other a little gift bag filled with all the stuff we weren't allowed .... pate, blue Chase, white wine , prosecco. plus some extras chocs, eye mask, bath bombs , 2hr pass to call on us to take over while u take a bath, read a book, sleep or like me clean the hole under the stairs x

If you have the budget for it, Elemis Camellia Oil is gorgeous! Good for stretch marks, face, hair, nails... and smells amazing.

If she has just had her baby, please please don't buy her products for stretch marks!

I would second a bag of nice food like pate, cheese etc

A really good hand cream was probably the most useful of the me gifts that I received! Maybe hand cream plus bath salts or something?
