Looking for a special gift for a first time mum

I want something that is a little bit unusual, maybe something she won't have thought of.
I've found a cute but simple baby outfit, but I want something either just for her, or for a keepsake of the baby.

Ideas? Budget of about £30, can go £40 at a push
She's quite a girly person, and is having a little boy in July

my ds was bought personalised cutlery which came in lovely gift box from studio catalogue i think my friend got them

outfits are great but everyone buys for newborn age and they grow out of them so quick so get something he can grow into as my ds spent most of time up till 3 mths in baby gro as much easier

maybe an aromatherapy kit for her so when babies asleep she can fully relax also used to be bliss just lying in bath feeling all refreshed

and maybe an offer to babysit one night when baby older also studio do lots of personalised things wooden chairs in blue and pink cutlery baby blankets etc

The outfit is just a simple sleepsuit with a cute slogan in 3-6m size. Have already offered to babysit as much as poss. Like the sound of aromatherapy. Keep the ideas coming!!

My best pressie was a hamper with pate, stilton and lots of other yummy cheeses I couldn't have when pg and a small bottle of champagne... Not a keepsake (it lasted about 5 minutes ) but it was lovely

Also loved going for a massage/facial when dd was a few weeks old
