Pamper hamper ideas?

rachel90 · 17 March 2012 at 10:53PM

Hi all,

I'm planning on making up a large pamper hamper for my sisters birthday in July. She is due to give birth at the beginning of July so I want to give her a present to pamper herself. So far I know I want to fill it with some chocolate bits and some bath bombs etc but I don't have any other ideas

Any ideas would be very appreciated!

Oooh what a fab idea. When my best mate gave birth to baby number 1 we did a similar thing. We added:
BioOil
Hot Oil hair masks
A couple of Face Masks
Bed socks (so that she didn't get cold feet when she had to get up in the middle of the night)
A pretty nursing bra (she had been complaining about how ugly most of them were)

Just a word of warning on the bath bombs, many of them contain essential oils and cannot be used while pregnant or breast feeding so check them carefully

HTH

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that so I will definitely look in to that!!

If you are able to spare the time and live near your sister, I would suggest making some vouchers with promises to pop in the hamper. Things like an evening of babysitting (so she can get some sleep even if she doesn't want to go out!), doing the laundry or making the dinner one evening. Anything really that will help out in those early days.

This is a great idea but we actually both still live with our parents at the moment, she won't be moving out until baby needs a bed and my fiance and I are currently saving to move out! Your idea has given me some inspiration though and I could pop some cinema tickets in there or something for her andher bf. Hmm!! Thank you

Cinema tickets are a nice idea, a bit of me time.

What a lucky baby, going to be surrounded by his/her family :j

Baby is a he

.
Just want to make sure she doesn't get all baby stuff for her birthday really, she's my baby sister so I do tend to go a bit mad and spoil her!!

badedas bubble bath. Amazing for after the birth, midwife suggested it. Really helped me heal and smells divine. Can buy from boots or amazon.

I personally found these fab as it is so much easier than cotton wool and water but just as kind to babies skin : http://www.thenappylady.co.uk/productDetail.asp?productid=241&item=Cheeky%20Wipes%20Mini%20Kits it is a personal choice but by far the best thing I have bought.

I did a pamper kit for my sister for xmas, it was a winter themed one so things to cheer you up when the weather is cold and miserable (like handwarmers and a hot water bottle) but some of the things could be included.

One thing I included which my sister really loved was a pretty mug which I filled with those individual serving hot chocolate sachets (like options, cadburys etc) and a bag of mini marshmallows. I also put in things like a nice moisturiser and lipbalm, a book and a dvd etc.

some nice herbal tea bags and a pretty mug, nail varnishes and maybe a voucher from groupon for a photo book when the lil one arrives x

A nice dressing gown, slippers ( like the ones you get in a spa) and one of those hair towel things or a headband to keep the hair from her face during the pampering treats.

I made some pamper hampers last year for some friends with the robe, head towel, slippers, manicure set, face mask, chocolates and a minature bottle of fizz - seemed to go down quite well. Cost about £13 each to make.

I'm sure your sister will love your hamper, whatever you decide to put it, good luck auntie Rachel!!!
