Hamper Ideas: Couple's Last Year 'Alone'...

li'l_p

My friend and her husband are due to have their first child in April. I am looking at doing them a joint hamper with stuff in for them to enjoy their last Christmas as a couple, i.e. without kids!

They also won't have any parents around as her parents have moved to Scotland and his parents are in Spain for Christmas, so it'll literally be time to themselves!

I want to put something together for them with bits and pieces that will just make it a little bit special...

They are mid twenties. I don't really want to include anything alcholic, because of her pregnancy and she doesn't drink anyway, also I don't think it fair that he should get drink if she doesn't...

Any ideas....?

How about any of the following........

Nice massage oil
Relaxing bath oil
Babysitting voucher (for when they need time to themselves in the future)
Pregnancy journal for their thoughts and feelings
Book about pregnancy for Dads (Ebay)
Non alcoholic cocktail/bubbly and cheap champagne glasses (ikea)
Large bar of chocolate!!!

oh and a little note on how to enjoy the peace and quiet because it aint gonna happen again.

a nice dvd that they could both sit and enjoy a non child one as thats probably what they will be watching next year lol

Watch out with some massage/ essential oils as they can be dangerous during pregnancy. Don't know which ones to avoid, so ask a professional

Aaww that's a lovely idea!

I like the idea of night in kind of hamper-with maybe a few food treats ie choccy, posh crisps, sweets etc and a dvd..... a non alcoholic drink of some kind... Some bubble bath/bath stuff for a pamper sesson before cosying down on the settee! Candles maybe.... hmmm.....

Ooo candles are a good idea! I quite miss them but now we have dd it's too dangerous.

Thanks for the ideas...! I've started gathering some bits for a relaxing type hamper for them both. I am going to get some of those battery operated tealights so that they can have 'safe' candles, so even after the baby is born - they can still have the effect but without the danger!

I am just looking at getting the a little game - not necessarily a sex game, but something that they can play together that would be fun and get them to enjoy each other and the time they have together before baby arrives!
