Gift for New Mother

hcnyla

Hi

My wife gave birth to our son 5 months ago and she has been an absolute star all the while as I'm sure every new mother is.

I want to get her something that shows her how special she is to me and our son. I am no good at this present business so I've come here for a few ideas. I want to give it to her at Xmas so I have a little while to get something. I don't want a night away or anything like that as the three of us are going away for a few nights over Xmas so something else would be nice.

Has anyone any ideas what I could get her? Or where I could post this to get more ideas?

Thanks a mill

what about a little locket with pic's of baby in it. Its hard to choose for something else but I think something nice that she can look back on in years to come would be nice

It's a nice idea but I'm a photographer so she has literally millions of photos of him!!

How about a charm with your sons fingerprint. I got a gift of one and it's beyond special to me:

Hi Rylie,

Thanks for the idea! Love it!

A nice piece of jewellery is always a good way to mark an occasion,maybe get it engraved with your sons dob.
I got my hubby a lovely watch when our little girl was born to mark the occasion.

Im getting a bracelet with a handprint as my Xmas gift from my new son. My other half used jewellery tree and said they were good to deal with. I couldnt have asked for something better. Its a special gift that will last forever (or at least until baby teeth kick in!)

That's so thoughtful of you OP! It's really sweet. I think it'd be best to ask her sisters or close friends what she'd really like. Women have a habit of mentioning their favourite jewellery and things like that to each other, so her sisters or close friends would be the best source of info there - as long as they can be trusted to keep a secret!

You sound like a great guy OP. A lovely thought.
When I became a mum last year I have to admit I was sick of everything being about the baby, so while some of the ideas here are nice, I would have loved something that was for me - with no mention of baby! A little something that reminded me that I have an identity in my own right. My hubby booked a lovely trip to London for the 2 of us and I enjoyed every minute of it. I know that's not what you are looking for but I just wanted to show what I meant by something for her, that doesn't included the baby.

Maybe some shopping vouchers from a number of her favourite shops? Then take the baby for a day while she spends the day with her friends - out shopping and being herself. I got this as a pressie from my hubby (long before baba came along) and I loved it because I would never have gone out and spent money on myself like that.
Good luck.

I know someone who recieved an eternity ring from her husband, it is so beautiful..

Take care or organise baby sitting for a day and:

-send your wife to a spa. Body treatments, massages...

-Send your wife to the hairdressers for the full monty: hair cut, blow dry, make up. And then take her out to a fancy restaurant/ or is there anything nice played at the National Concert Hall these days?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I went for the fingerprint in the necklace in the end so hopefully I'll get it delivered before Xmas. Thanks again
