what gifts would you want as a new mum?

vikki_louise

hello, ive started making and selling some baby gifts, they are made up of things like blankets, nappies, baby growns, muslin etc



they have gone down really well but you can hide lots of little gifts inside and i wondered if anyone had any suggestions. i asked a new mum recently and she said handcreame which i hadn't previously thought of.

Any suggestions are more than welcome, thanks :j

If it's for someone who had a c-section then rennie/peppermint tea and maybe one of those cherrystone warmer bag things.
Some nice bath stuff - sanctuary do a nice one for mums to be/new mums
nipple cream
sudocrem
nice chocs/sweets for mum

when i had my dd my mum bought me loads of different pampering things and gave me a voucher for a night off to reedem when i wanted to give me the chance to use the products she bought, i loved it

I have found anything that's to do with the stuff I don't get time to do much of after having baby is always nice, so pampering things like a nice bath soak, some body cream, a body scrub, and some little bits are always good to go with them like a hairband, a little body brush and that sort of thing.

Chocolate is a great idea!

All i want is a nice bottle of wine, oh how i miss a good glass of wine.

But i also like to keep my nails looking super, i always have a nail file and a few nail varnishes in my bag - i even take 1 to hospital so that whilst im lying there after my section and cant move i can still paint my nails, lol.

Lavender oil was well used by me after my third child - worked a treat on my inflamed scar when put in the bath.

I would also appreciate some of those sachets of coffee or hot chocolate - you know the ones where you just add water. I love them but don't get them often due to the price.

Massage oil/suitable moisturiser for the baby and maybe a little booklet or leaflet with basic strokes.

I might think of more later...

can I suggest a bottle of witch hazel, pack of gauze and a tub to put it all in , also recommend tea tree oil to go with the lavender oil that others had suggested.

Also little luxury items like hair masks, face mask, mini box of chocolate (or even big box etc..
