I have my cousin in the family secret Santa and by Christmas she will have a 6-week old. Any gift ideas to make a new mum feel a bit pampered? Budget about £20-25 x

Radox or dove bubble bath

Nice chocolates and/or posh tea

I wish I could have used bubble bath and such with a newborn in tow 😂😂

Nice loungewear/ pyjamas (make sure easy access if breast feeding).

Fancy hand soap
Insulated travel mug and nice tea bags/ coffee & biscuits
Personalised/ posh water bottle
One of those fiddle necklaces
Nice photo frame

I couldn't cope with the cashmere bed socks, my feet are always weirdly hot after having a baby!

I would have loved some warm slippers or slipper socks when I was doing night feeds but ones with rubber soles or those grippy dots. Definitely nothing that you’d slip in (apparently new slipper related falls are one of the most common reasons for a&e visits at Christmas)

Or a lovely snuggly dressing gown.

Bath and beauty products were wasted on me; I barely had the time and energy to wash myself, often with the baby.

Nice pyjamas. Someone bought be some Next button down ones. Lovely and warm, easy boob access and huuuge pockets.

A nice hand cream. You do an awful lot of handwashing as a new mum and it takes its toll.

Voucher for hair cut, eye brow wax, massage, nails that sort of thing?
Hand cream
