Unusual gift ideas for new mum
Hiya ladies,
My best friend is pregnant (Yey! ) Anyway, when i had my lo she bought him loads and loads of presents and put them all in a baby bath. I thought this was a lovely idea, and want to do something similar for her but not a baby bath. Ive thought about making a nappy cake but was wondering if anyone had any good ideas?
Thanks

Not sure of your budget but i've just got a wicked weekend bag from accessorize for ??38 for my hospital bag. I think Ems101s idea of packing it for her is a fab idea but it all depends on how much you want to spend.
I am not into johnsons products as I'm very much into natural/organic things - maybe something to consider if you do go down the baby products route. I'd be so grateful if one of my friends went to the trouble of putting together something like that but if it was full of products I wouldn't use, it would probably only go to waste.
As she's your friend though you will know her well enough to know what kind of products will be best for her/baby.
But really like the idea of a hospital bag type thing - you could fill it cheaply week-by-week with useful stuff for her like pads/big knickers/cheap slippers/flipflops/PJs/ breastpads etc....all of which you could buy for very little money from places like primark/asda/matalan etc )

I love the bag idea, when I was pg i waited till I was on maternity leave to buy and pack my back, I really looked forward to it and enjoyed doing it. i would have been a bit sad if someone else did it for me.
And on the Johnsons - my MW and hV told me they recommend not to use the stuff - we also have tons sat gathering dust from the Johnsons baby box.
I also remember doing for someone a box of treats - things they cant have when pregnant like champagne, caffeinated coffee, cheese etc (and some yummy chocs because they're yummy!)
