Present for New Parents

kirstyreanne

Hi all,

My friend had a baby this morning & although me & another friend have put together a lovely box for the baby, I'd like to get something un-baby-related for her & her hubby. Does anyone have any ideas what I can get (I'm pretty sure her parents will have bought champagne)?

Thanks in advance,
Kirsty.

A nice present is Sweet Bouquets ( or candy bouquets) which are like flower arrangemnts but made of sweets. They look pretty and they can pick at it and eat the sweets gradually.there are a few online companies in the UK that do this. (I used to but stopped doing it now)

A few ready meals or meals that you have cooked and can be frozen. I remember finding it difficult to find time and energy to shop and cook. I really appreciated it when my friend brought me a M&S microwavable meal round!!!

nice bottle of wine (as long as the mother isn't bf), i do agree m&s meals would be a lovely idea. wish some one had thought of that for us when i had my dd!!

of failing that offer to take the 3 of them out for lunch and you sit and hold the baby so the mother can eat in peace!!

I seen those lovely sweet bouquets somewhere in a magazine, they looked like marzipan shaped fruits arranged as a bouqet?

I send the meals suggestion. My neighbour said the best present they got from the parents on the birth of the second was a fridge full of meals from M&S, no need to cook or shop for a week!

my sister gave me a meal voucher and made me a babysitting voucher.
i thought that was a lovely idea.

I make handmade candles, including new baby candles that are either baby themed ( cupcakes with baby themed items) and jar candles with a new baby gold lettering on the jar all scented in baby powder- pm me if you would like the web address.
