Pressie for new mum

After I had my first baby, a friend bought me a lovely hand cream set.....It was really nice & thoughtful, as your hands often get neglected, especially with a new baby......

My friend bought me a bag of goodies, like slippers, comfy set of pjs and a beauty magazine. Made me feel so relaxed and like a princess at the hospital!

something pampering would be the way to go and you don't have to break the bank. Perhaps you could put together a little hamper with some goodies including body lotions, bath salts, hand creams, etc. I'm sure your gf will love what you get pink sapphire :)

I back the pampering advise 100% you need as much as you can get, lol.

oh definitely pampering! if you can stretch to it, or perhaps if you get another friend to chip in with you, a massage is ideal. there's a place called fertile ground here in melbourne which does the most AMAZING preggie massage, and post-preg massage too! there might be similar places in other states. they are fully worth the money, my friend and i both went for a couple during and after pregnancy. really takes away those aches and pains, and helps you feel like yourself again. they also come to your house if you can't make it there, and they claim to be able to massage even if you have to stop to breast feed (i left the kid at home).

I think it's in East Melbourne pink sapphire. It does sound wonderful Whiterabbit11. I wish I had of got something like that for myself when I was pregnant. By the end of my pregnancy I was so sore and swollen I think I would of loved this. I think I'd even treat myself to a pampering massage. A gift to myself :)

hi girls, i found my receipt - check them online at "fertile ground":http://www.fertileground.com.au. the address is 372-376 albert st, east melbourne. PS: bear in mind that your friend will have to get there, which might not be convenient when heavily preg/postnatal! Bo, i went when i was 9 months preggy (it felt like 2 years by then) and they sort of prop you on all these special shaped cushions, so you feel like you're floating. it was an hour without the weight of carrying the baby, i would have paid for that alone!

magazines, slippers, scented candles, body creams and butters are all great, bio oil is also another good one, it can help reduce stretch marks. I like to also give the new mother a basket with these goodies preferbly in her favourite colour/scented theme. I think vouchers for massage or other beauty treatments are a great idea.

i agree with the others. a basket of goodies such as body creams, body washes, candles, oils, magazines, makeup etc would be ideal

LOL ladies this thread is over a year old, hehe, I think they might be looking for a first birthday pressent by now, hehe :)

i agree with everyone else
