Shameless traffic post - suggestions please

[MadameBee]

Tomorrow morning I am taking some bread and milk to a single mum to leave on her doorstep - this is part of my paid job, no heroics - she is self isolating.

I don’t have a phone number to call her first - what else do you think she might need?

I was thinking maybe an Easter Egg for the child?

Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

Do you know how old her child is, OP?

I think under 5.....

Tins of beans? Pasta sauces and pasta? Cereal? Eggs. Cheese. Something fresh - veg, fruit? Tea bags? Cordial? And an Easter egg would go down well, I’m sure.

I can’t buy wine ....

Is there no way you could drive past and ask before going to the shop?

And an Easter egg for her as well?

I'm a single Mum and I'm shielding. I have an 8 year old DD and I've just been asked if there's anything I need by a family friend. DD has asked for sweets. Just cheapo strawberry laces. Other than that, I think if you were able to find a half a dozen eggs and a pack of teabags, that would probably be pretty helpful.

Maybe a tin of tuna or something like that too.

Why can't you buy wine?

Because I work for the LA.

I can’t buy someone alcohol with public money.

And she might be a recovering alcoholic for all I know.

Nice shower gel. I like Original Source and it’s often reduced to £1 or so.
Biscuits.
Pre-packed thinly sliced ham.
Cheese.
Tinned soup.
Eggs.

Half decent pack of biscuits
Easter egg or sweets for little one
Beans / soup / noodles / pasta & sauce

Oh cereal, porridge is good bc you can make it with water.

Tea/coffee/sugar
Shampoo/bubble bath
Toothpaste
Loo roll 🙄
Butter/margarine

Along with previous suggestions- washing up liquid and washing machine detergent (non bio if she has a kid). That is what would come in handy for me anyway!

Tinned goods
Pasta
Rice
Bananas
Loo roll

Nice bar of chocolate for Mum ♥️

San Pro? Can imagine some women would find it difficult to get out and get some.
