I'm a mum of two, who's thinking of launching my own business, and would like some feedback on the idea. I want to sell gift boxes (like hampers, but more modern) for new mums. We can find baby gifts at the drop of a hat, but mum, who's done all the hard work, gets a couple of cards and a pat on the back...
... I want to offer various packages, or various price ranges, to help new mums get through those first days.
For example, a basic package for BF mums would include (and this is not concrete)...
a tube of the best nipple cream
box of nipple pads
a beautiful etsy style BF necklace
a photocopy-able BF diary template
a luxury ready meal
a luxury snack or two
a book (either mumsnets' own "why did nobody tell me" or "the baby owners manual)
a couple of calpol sachets
ashton and parsons teething powder
etc etc
And as the package/price increases, there are other items such as
beautiful faye and lou coloured muslins
Baby outfit
Baby toy
Milestone cards
items for daddy
... all high quality luxury 'treats'
... all in a beautiful box, with a personalised card.
My questions :
Is this something a) you would've appreciated? What else would you have wanted? What wouldn't you have wanted?
Is this something b) you would consider buying for a friend / relative
c) how much would you be happy to pay for the example above?
d) how much in general would you be happy to spend on a new mum friend / relative
Any feedback - positive or negative - is greatly appreciated.
Thanks ;)
