Presents for New Mom

[meggles]

morning ladies
i'm visiting my SIL at the hospital today - she had an emergency c-section yesterday but baby, mom & dad are doing well today. in the past, i've brought cupcakes or other treats, but she's diabetic. any suggestions of what little pressie to bring in? or am i better to wait until they're back home to bring any presents?

You could give her a little manicure while you chat and then her nails will look elegant in all her photos!

Flowers? cant really go wrong with them

Flowers might not be allowed on the hospital ward.

Take some lovely oils and creams and give her a hand & foot massage with manicure & pedicure (if you have all that time!) anything to feel lovely again!

great ideas - i'll see if boots has a small foot/hand cream duo. not too big for her to carry home.

i have been giving her daily foot rubs - unfortunately none helped get her into labour!

Really? I had flowers when i was in (9wks ago) must depend on ward I suppose

flowers when she gets home from hospital will be lovely, but if she's on a manky nhs ward, flowers just get in the way and are banned on some wards. And die quickly in the hot, airless conditions.

IMO.

thank you for your suggestions. ended up with diabetic chocs, hand/foot creams from body shop. will offer hand/foot massage as well. cheers

some good moisturiser! La Prairie or siome Clarins tinted moisturiser!

trust me, she'll need it when the nights kick in
