Gift For A New Mum.

[Meg]

My 5th grandchild arrived today, a girl, Freya Eilidh, 7lb 14oz, mother and baby both fighting fit!! Any ideas what I can buy for my Daughter in Law, I'm going to Scotland next weekend to see them but want take something different from the usual flowers or perfume. Thanksxx

[bednobs]

make her a gift bundle of all the things she couldn't have but wanted while preggers - wine, brie, and so on

[tonyav]

Many congrats to you and yours, Meg.

What about a pendant or bracelet with your new granddaughter's birth stone?

Congratulations by the way! Beautiful name.

[ummmm]

I'd go with bednobs suggestion or maybe something pampering like buying a massage voucher or a facial.

[Retrochic]

bednobs -you are presuming she's not breastfeeding then?

[flump1]

A pamper pack just for herself...bath, shower, bubbly, etc x

[jourdain2]

bedknobs' idea is great - but a session with a relaxing massage would be well-received, I'm sure. Congrats. to all.

[bednobs]

ps it is a nice name - how do you pronounce the middle name?

[2sp_]

A-lee

[marval]

Congratulations to all.

Sorry, that was to bednobs. I'm on my kindle and not doing well typing on it!

[bednobs]

ta. And peanut butter!! forgot that. And manchego cheese

[ummmm]

So if she breastfeeds she just leaves out the wine.

[Meg]

Thank you or such quick replies, she really missed the wine when she was pregnant but now she's breastfeeding so probably not an option yet!
I like the suggestion of a pampering voucher, never thought of that! Thanksxx

[bednobs]

i suppose the problem will be finding time to go and get pampered :)

[Meg]

True bednobs vouchers usually last for a year or so I think. I'm struggling with the middle name, googling came up with AayLee, her mum is from the isle of Lewis. I think in English it would be Ellie.

[2sp_]

It's Aileen in English. :-)

[Hopkirk]

A bottle of champagne - she can keep it in the cupboard until a suitable time.

[Meg]

Well it's down to a pampering voucher, or a nice bottle to keep till breastfeeding is over, I've lots of presents for the 3 year old sibling, always ignore baby at first and make a fuss of the other grandchild. Thanks for being so helpfulxx

[Tuvok]

It rhymes with Ceilidh - your phonetic spelling is right.

How about a nappy cake? No you can't eat it!!!!
