Pregnancy hamper or gift?

financegirl

Hi there,

My friend is pregnant and I would love to send her a pregnancy hamper full of nice nibbles, bath oil etc.

However, I don't really have time to go out shopping for the bits and bobs to make my own - does anyone know any reasonable companies that would do it.

the natural hamper compnay are very expensive £75 fo a hamper not including P and and P.

Take a look on ebay as people sell them on there.

Are you doing one just for her? or for the baby aswell? I've done one for my best friend and one for her soon to be born baby. I managed to go to poundland and get almost everything there. They're quite big hampers and cost me a total of around £30 for the two. I also found Wilkinsons is very good for things for mum. I'm not sure if this might be an option for you. Good luck! xx

What about sending your friend a voucher for a mothers2b massage instead? I had one at John Lewis for about £40 and it was lush! If you google local spa's around where your friend lives I am sure you will find something reasonable - I don't mind helping you if you let me know where your friend lives.

Its just an idea - I have recently had a baby and it was one of the loveliest gifts I was given ( loads of my pregnancy lotions and potions never got used as I was too knackered to be bothered with them - ha ha).

Ooh another idea - and I wish I had done this is a notebook / journal for your friend to document the pregnancy - I wish I had written the important things down like when I first felt Daisy move and stuff like that.

It's a really lovely thing to receive, just a word of warning as some aromatherapy oils shouldn't be used whilst pregnant.

Do you know what I wouldn't have even THOUGHT about the oils and probably would have packed her a load off - you can tell I haven't had children..

alison - she lives in didsbury in mancehster but she already has a 2 year old running around and she has her own business - i don't think she will use the voucher and I'd hate to think of it stuck in a drawer.
