What is an ideal gift for a new mummy?

[mummyofgirls]

Not too expensive but thoughtful?

Completely agree, CharlieandLolasMummy. I wouldn't want anyone doing my housework or cooking or anything, except possibly my mother

sleep

offering to babysit so she can sleep

free and best ever

Thanks for all of your ideas. Going to see my friend tomorrow for the last antenatal visit! Am taking a tummy tub, cottage pie for freezer, book about going to bed for her DD1 who does not sleep and lunch for tom. When the baby is born I will take hand cream!, a box for keeping baby bits in (cards folk send when baby is born etc) and of course something for the new big sister and maybe something else for the freezer. Is making something for the freezer better than cooking at her house?!

I always post on these threads!
this was a gift from heaven (well, ok, from my sister).

Perfect for midnight feasts during night feeds .

Lots of chocolate . Best present I ever got was a cake and some packs of biscuits.
