by lovely lovely bf in the world has just had her first - glanced at interflora and it doesn;t quite seem to cut it...

I reckon cakes are a fab new mum present - you are ravenous and knackered and have loads of visitors who expect somethign nice with their cup of tea. Have sent and received v delicious ones from www.beverlyhillsbakery.com/ (think they're just London but there are others elsewhere)

oops, I meant jane packer

Dont send flowers - they are a pain in the ass to look after on top of a new baby and all that entails - as no one else will change the water, get rid of the dead and dying ones, wash the vase out etc.

This site however is fab biscuiteers.com

HM - they look lovely -off to have a better look

which tin do you reckon? the ducklings are a bit too twee for me - are the creepy crawlies a bit random?

How about something like this?

If you send flowers, make sure they are pre-arranged in an aquapack. The last thing a new mum needs is to be finding a vase and arranging flowers. (I was so ungrateful for the bouquets I was bought when DD was born, they went in a bucket still in their wrappers and died quietly in a corner of the kitchen. I was so p*ed off as I love flowers and it was a huge waste of money.)

thanks for the ideas. I went for this in the end.

That is fab Hatwoman! I will remember that site as my bf in the world is due to have her first baby later in the summer. She has been so wonderful to me during my 2 pregnancies and has got the HelloBabies some incredibly generous gifts, so I wanted to get her something really special when her first arrives.
