From which high street shops can I buy gift hampers for a newborn
Posted by admin under Hampers1 Comment
I want to give the mother a big gift; something that’s both useful but also something that can be kept for keepsake. That’s why I think the ideal gift would be a gift hamper as it has useful clothing, but blankets and teddies that can be kept forever.
I can only think of MotherCare and Mamas&Papas.
Anything else?
Also, I would appreciate any other ideas for gifts. Thanks.
That is a lovely idea but my experience of gift hampers is they have a lot of packing in them and cost wayyyy more than the contents.
There are loads of websites that do them but if I were you I’d make one up yourself. You can get a lovely wicker basket from such shops as Dunhelm Mill (if you have one) and could line it with a lovely soft blanket and put in the following:
Layette (vests, little socks, baby gros, shawl, hat, mitts)
Cute outfit
Baby toiletries (cream, powder, lotion, bubble bath, shampoo)
Teddy
Muslin squares
Photo album
Cuddle cloth/comforter
Nappies
Wipes
Also, it’s nice to have things for the mum. Bath soak, hand cream, scented candles, bottle of bubbly, choccies — anything girly
If you want someone else to do the hard work, Hamperz do online baby hamper things:
