My neighbours gave me money and said to treat myself to something and buy something baby needs. Had a few kids / neighbours along the years, and these were actually my childhood neighbours. We weren't expecting it at all. It was lovely. I bought a pushchair when my child got bigger. Still think of them all the time years later. Maybe a voucher / gift card, if you're wanting something for mum, try and avoid somewhere that does baby things... • coffee shop • restaurant • clothes shops (especially women's shops... annoyingly I can't suggest which cause most places do kids stuff lol) • cinema • Lush? • Book shop? Sometimes we just need a reminder to not lose ourselves so any sort of entertainment or something that could be used as break when she's ready could be a great help xx
some nice shampoo and conditioner!! never ever goes a miss!
maybe even a precooked meal they can just heat up the first night back so neither of them have to cook. it will definitely help ease their first night.
@Riley Yeah I thought of that but they live with his parents for a few more months so they will take care of that.
When we had our twins, we received door dash giftcards that really came in handy to have a restaurant meal delivered. If she's breastfeeding, I think the lactation cookies would be a great idea! And of course, you could never go wrong with diapers and wipes!
@Hillary Yeah I already got them a giant box of diapers, wipes, a baby tub, things for bath time, towels and a book that has information how to take care of a baby from A-Z which really helped me when I gave birth. I’m thinking for now Wawa gift card as she can order coffee or meals from there or even some small groceries; homemade lactation cookies and lactation candy from PinkStork, a nice book (not sure which one really), lindor candy, some healthy snacks, epsom salt, lip balm, Tumbler with a straw, tummy time toys and baby books.
Oh my goodness, you are a super neighbor!! Can I come be your neighbor too?? Lol.
maybe some nice bath bombs or epsom salt or some postpartum essentials
