Help me buy a scarf/shawl for new mum

[BrianCoxHasScaryHair]

Hi,

Can you recommend a nice shawl/scarf for a new mum, one she can use if nursing and also that would look nice as an accessory.

Have seen 1 on Mothercare site but knowing you lot, you can point me in the direction of a shop with a bit more individuality.

The plan is vouchers and a present, I thought this would be nice as lady in question loves wearing scarves and I know she would love this.

I would have Googled but am in work so am seeking the power of Mumsnet to assist.

Thank you in advance and Happy Tuesday all.

BUMP

doh, just realised this should be in Style and Beauty - will ask MNHQ to move it.

Sorry!!

All done for you

I use the "MN scarf" - like this but any long wide scarf is great - I have quite a collection and they're super useful. I like ones that look absolutely nothing like BFing coverups best

Oh, and if the one you saw on the website was the Mamascarf, I would never ever use something like that so I think your idea to look for something more stylish is a good one!

Thank you other Brian

I'm home now so can investigate further.

I think that scarf is fab - I always thought the MN scarf was an urban myth, didn't realise there was an actual scarf

I foresee at least 1 purchase for Friend, 1 for ME and another in a few weeks for my other pregnant Friend.

Thanks for your help

Oh and thank you MNHQ

Us Brians are a stylish bunch

Warehouse have lovely scarves with great prints at the moment too.

The Galliano one's lovely, but it's silk and dry-clean only - so I'd never wear it with my boaky DS around!

yeah, I went through ebay and saw a McQueen scarf.....high fashion and baby vomit are not happy bed fellows Do quite like the Galliano one for myself who has no vomiting baby in my life anymore (sticky 8 year old though... )

Still looking, really love the MN scarf.

Saw these and liked the fact that they were very long. Also very cheap, and also very long time to get to the UK from China.

I'm thinking practical and around £20 (as the collection we're having is mainly going to be for vouchers and will probably be around the £100 mark maximum)

ooh just a though. The next issue of Elle magazine has a fiveteen quid discount card for Whistles. If there is no minimum spend how about looking there?

Dorothy Perkins? Cosmo has a 20 code at the moment in there.
