What to include in gift basket for new mother/newborn?




HappyToBeM


what are some good things to put into a gift basket for mama/new baby??


i am mailing this.



Answer
I'm currently on the receiving end of these, I'm only 29 weeks but its the first baby for a while so I'm getting loaded with things. If I get another stuffed toy or newborn size baby outfit I'll have to donate it to charity honestly, I have no space left for them. I'd get things that they'll never stop buying, nappies, wipes, powder and things. I'm pretty much set up for clothes until at least 6 months so maybe bigger sized outfits would be better. And for mum, maybe a voucher to get something special, or even at the local grocery store so she can get things she needs.

Pleeeeese, give me some ORIGINAL ideas for a wonderful baby shower gift, for a special mother.?

I have thought of everything. I think... but how about an original way top present, or just anything? Oh, she is having a girl, do any day, her shower is this thursday, we are in dental assisting school, and the girls in our class have put together a little money each for the purchase of a crib, but some are able to do more, for someone who does not have much. Please help?


Answer
As a mum of 3 the best gift anyone can get is disposable nappies, wipes, bepanthen cream & baby bathing solution.

Why? Because we go through tonnes of them & its often difficult to get to a store for supplies in the first weeks & mum-to-be will love you for it. These items are also quite expensive as an ongoing expense so you will be helping out where it will be most needed.

But a really special gift that IS appreciated would be you giving homemade vouchers with redeemable chores on them. Some examples:

Evening of babysitting
2 loads of washing & drying
Family dinner cooked
Morning coffee at local Café
Vacumn the house
Manicure & Pedicure
Doing the grocery shopping

This allows you to be individual, creative & ultra helpful during a time when new mums are so exhausted. My girlfriend did this for me & it was so special, just what I needed.

I hope the baby shower goes well.. let us know what you decided to do!
