My friend has a 3 week old. We bought him a present - toy and jumper - when he was born but I want to buy something nice for my friend who is stuck at home after a c-section. I imagine she is drowning in flowers and also she has no time to read books. What can I send her that is nice, affordable and postable that is just for her?

stuff to relax in the bath? food she has not been able to eat during pg? I loved the fact that one of DH's friends remembered I love Brie and got me a huge slab to eat, and made me Brie and bacon bagels

Hotel Chocolat (fabulous choccies) do a new baby gift box (called baby Boom) for £15 which can be delivered to your friend at home. Contains lovely goodies for Mum and dad as well as cute bib for baby.
I have sent this 3 times now and has always been much appreciated. Am waiting for someone to send me one in return!!

How about buying her a voucher for a local ironing service to come do her ironing for a couple of weeks?

Thanks for the great ideas - have sent some great chocs.

I suggest a marernity gift from Mama Baby Bliss. They do lovely little organza gift bags full of fantastic pampering products. They have a new mum bag, mum to be bag and a baby bag. All their products are safe for sensitive skins. Visit their shop page for more new mum gifts.
