What is a great contribution for a topical mum?
my friend is just about to have a child and obviously baby has lots of bequest etc and I would like to get her something that she would find useful and assist her as a new mum but not having kids myself I sont really know what would help!
Make her a gift picnic basket, for a gift basket you'll need:
1) A Basket 5:00
2) A Pack of Diapers (Size 2) 10:00
3) A Sleeper (3-6 months) 8:00
4) Diaper Cream 4:00
5) Wipes 4:00
6) Basket Filling Tissues 2:00
= $33.00
Extras
. Blanket
. Outfit
. Soother
. Socks
. Bibs
. Toy or Rattle
. Baby rinse or lotion
You'll want it to look something like this:

You may also want to buy some cellophane to rap it in. You'll need to pick a color for the picnic basket (Green, yellow, pink or blue) and a size I went with a Size 2 within the diapers and 3-6 months in the clothing because people get lots for unusual born but, not much for later on. Good luck!
ETA: Like the others said you could include of I'll look after the baby card.
Why don't you give her a gift for herself, it's other a gift for the baby. Google 'Edible arrangements' these are fabulous bouquets made out of fruit. I'm sure she would love it and it beats flowers and chocs any morning.
If you would rather get something for the baby though buy her nappies, babe-in-arms wipes etc. The things that are expensive and she'd need to buy anyway, because she'll end up beside hundreds of clothes toys etc and no one ever thinks to buy the practical stuff. :)
How sensible of you not to foist your taste on a new mum - may I suggest a gift voucher for Mothercare? I own always done that and in every case it be appreciated.
This is a good payment for a new mum, bearing in mind if she drives.

A night out or some pampering would probably be appreciated! :D
when i have my son a friend came around with a big basket a short time ago for me, it had bubble bath, lotions, nail polish, perfume, and a endowment card for me to go shopping for the baby. it was a really nice thought and while my son be sleeping I put all those gifts to good use and felt so devout! :)
Baby clothes?
Money?
More money?
Baby equipment?
After having my son, I really could have used someone to come in and verbs my house so I didn't have to worry about it. Double check beside her though, some people are picky about other people cleaning their house.
A gift card to achieve her hair done or a pedicure with a little transcribe saying you'll watch the baby when she requests to redeem the gift card.
I found as a hot mum the nicest thing any one got me was to cook a banquet and bring it round when i got put of hospital so hubby and i did not have to cook!
nappies and clothing
always a necessity
Yeah, time off for herself would be the best!
If she has family connections staying or hearby, they may cook for her, but if not, give her some casseroles or stews, etc. that she can use as needed.
hmm.. You could get the spanking new mum...
- big bunch of flowers,
- chocolates
- congrats new mum balloon (helium)
- congrats card
- bath relaxing pamper entry for mum lol
- a hamper thing (with lots of goodies)
- take her on a morning out shopping
- babysit the baby one night
Hope this helps :)
Buy her a pamper gift set.
Or babysit whilst she can budge for a much needed relaxing hot bath.
Be simple and helpful and not connected to the baby.
Why not catch her a gift voucher so she can pamper herself, a group of us all chipped within for one of our friends to get a spa day and although she did not use it straight away when she went she loved it
Cook for her or return with her a gift card from a fast food place so she can get a speedy dinner.
Maybe you can make a picnic basket with bath stuff like washcloths, towels, tot wash, hairbrush and a rubber duckie or two! Source(s): Mom of a 1yo girl
Looking after her baby for three hours so she can get hold of some sleep. Seriously.
Answers: A data saying 'Two evenings babysitting - redeemable any time".
This will be worth far more to her than paltry stuff. Being a new parent is hard and stressful - an evening past its sell-by date will do wonders for her sanity.
deer head ya hear!
