My friend has just had a baby and although i will be buying something for the baby, i would also like to buy her a little something.
Any ideas?
Seems like a long time ago i had a newborn, so can't think what i would have loved lol.

Do you think that's the sort of thing she'd like, or do you want to actually buy her a gift? That's the part I'm really stumped on!
I remember someone buying me some new mum smellies. Maybe something like that hmm. Will have a think whilst i am at work this afternoon lol
I am going shopping for baby things tomorrow in my lunch hour. Fucking ace!
Maybe since the weather's still so crap you could get make/buy a nice snuggly hat, scarf gloves set for when she takes the babba out. Everyone and their dog will be buying the baby bonnets and mittens and no one will think of her cold hands I'm sure
I'm sure anything you get her will be greatly appreciated, though.
go round and do her washing up or cleaning for her or pay for a cleaner for the first week or two.
chocolates
something like that.
It's still pretty much the thing I most want to do actually. I think I'm chronically sleep deprived.
My Mum bought her a voucher for the relaxation centre place which gives waxes and massages and the like. That was much appreciated also as she got a nice back and neck rub.
Nail bar sounds like a good idea too. I actually had a luxury pedicure the other day, it was lovely. A little treat to myself, cos its a bit hard to look after your own feet when you cant bend at the waist.
Was a lovely treat.
Little things like that sound really nice, and its not too long to be away from baby, even if youre breastfeeding hopefully.
