My BFF had her little boy today and I'm wanting to get her a new mommy gift basket with a bunch of stuff for her(we've already gotten enough stuff for the baby). I must have blacked out the weeks following DS's birth because the only thing I can think of is a bottle of wine. Suggestions please? Thanks!
I did something like this for MYSELF. I had my "mommy stash" and it was a bunch of fun things as a present to me to get out after the baby was born to help me feel good :-)
New perfume
New make-up (although that is a bit personal, maybe a good friend knows some of this stuff though!)
New purse
New earrings
New cute shirt in a size that fit comfortably during my transition period.
Gift card to get my hair done
New awesome shampoo
I want to say that was about it. Just pampering type stuff.
