    Hey,

    I've just found out a family member is pregnant, her birthday is in August (few months before baby arrives) and I was thinking of getting her a pamper hamper. She's mid 30s.

    Basically just a few things for herself (she does not want any baby stuff until baby arrives).

    I'd like to get a few things and put the hamper together myself rather than buy a pre-made hamper as I'd like to get items I know she will use rather than get a hamper some items I know she won't use.

    I'm looking for ideas on what to put into the hamper?

    I was thinking maybe some bath/body stuff, facial products, make up etc?

    I can't afford to spend a whole lot (I was thinking of getting a few bits each week to spread out the cost), maybe €70 in total.

    Any help is appreciated.

    oh thats really thoughtful.. well whats she like or into? maybe a voucher for a pedicure.. theres a range in boots called mum to be organics and they do a tummy cream well priced.. a little more expensive is the burts bees which do an amazing tummy cream, gorgeous.. maybe a cheap top from h&m just so she feels nice and like something fits well..if plans on breastfeeding a breastfeeding cushion (i know she doesnt want anything for the baby but they are great for putting between your legs and under bump when you are trying to sleep, especially at the end when its so hard to get comfy-a big one! hth

    I never knew this, thanks so much for informing me, I will do some research see what products they can't use.
