What to gift an expecting/new mum?

Oh yes, we’re going over to deep clean her house closer to her due date and will spend 2 days cooking so her freezer is full. The voucher for dinner is great! I might add a few uber eats vouchers too for date nights after baby sleeps 🤣 thank you @Jasmine
Im currently pregnant with my first and I just thought food is what I would like most lol. But that may say more about me. She will love all of that. Very kind and caring of you!
Depends on your budget, but I think a newborn professional photoshoot is an amazing present and often Mum wouldn't treat herself to it (could possibly share costs with other family members). Also a pregnancy / foot massage is a nice way to relax in those last weeks when everything is so uncomfortable, and definitely a 'mum' present, rather than baby. I would say avoid baby clothes, as everyone gives clothes.
I got a basket that was full of hair and skin care, body washes and soaps. Face mask, comfy pjs and slippers. A “self care” basket would be really nice with stuff for her!
Yes on self care! Thank you girls @Cat and @Lex The photoshoot is a great idea, I’ll have to pop it in the group chat and see what everyone’s budget is!! Thank you!
Aww, wishing you all the best @Jasmine Thank you! Fortunately we’re all mums and really go big for huge milestones like this! It’s always so beautiful to be welcomed to Motherhood with warmth, grace and understanding.
I just had a baby 4 weeks ago and the best thing I’ve bought/been gifted was my newborn photo session. So totally second that.
i got given a just eat gift card when i went on maternity leave at work and it was so appreciated☺️
Pregnancy or postnatal massage Self care hamper (my friends made me these and I loved it!) New comfy pjs Mom necklace Matching family outfits Photoshoot package

Maybe like some cooked food she can freeze for when she just doesn’t want to cook, or some of her favourite snacks? or a voucher to go out to dinner?
