What to buy a new mum....

[Blondie1092]

So my best friend just had a baby and I want to do her up a little gift hamper just for her (I've already got a few things for her new daughter).

Do any of you lovely ladies have any suggestions for what I could get her?
I was thinking an aromatherapy nursing candle, some skin care products, etc?

Hand cream and also from a practical perspective something like a thermos to keep her hot drinks warm.

Oh you’re such a lovely friend!

Personally these are my suggestions if it were me!

Body cream (skin is bouncing back so anything ‘firming’ or for stretch marks)
Hand cream! Washing them all day after nappy changes makes them dry
Nice shower gels (anything natural as possible Incase it goes over stitches)
Big water bottle! Amazing how long you’re stuck in one place and you can’t access water!
That’s all I can think of at the moment but I’m sure anything you get would be appreciated!

A nice photo frame and pic of baby if you have one

I agree with the idea of a water bottle - I got a big sports bottle with a flip-up life and built-in straw, and an easy-to-grab handle on the top. It's literally the only reason I manage to drink anything!

Flip-up lid, even! Pretty sure my water bottle is not alive.

My Dsis gave me some lovely bath oil, which was massively appreciated. Can't believe nobody has said chocolate or choclate biscuits essential for breastmilk production.
