  • Fill it up with 30 small items such as bogof offers or freebies from boots could be used underware anything really l would be so chuffed getting a hamper full o things l never tend to treat myself to.

    Just double check if you include any aromatherapy products as some advise not to be used during pregnancy; just a precaution.
    What a lovely idea.

  • Some good quality hand cream. The number of times you wash your hands with a new baby they end up like sandpaper!

    How about some minature products from Boots, like the sanctuary range. Im sure she would like to treat herself before or after the baby arrives.

    A nice photo frame for a picture of the baby
    Some cooling footspray

    Hope that helps :)

    a friend of mine said that she loved the presents she got but when they were tied to her being a mum she felt she was sharing those presents on the last birthday it was just her (if that makes sense)

    so things that are for her and make her feel good as a woman, not as a mum etc

  • Lidl have night cream/day cream on offer and some make up. You can also buy cotton buds/nail polish removers etc. at a reasonable price.
    Mums always like toiletries and cosmetics I think. A joke gift is some fur trimmed rubber gloves from Home and Bargains for a novelty gift.

    i totally agree and was going to say the same thing!
    make the present (or hamper which is a great idea that i would LOVE to receive) all about her, not her baby.

    i remember being pregnant over christmas (and millenium new year :rolleyes: ) and getting baby related christmas presents.... it felt a bit of a jip considering i wasnt due until june
