Tk max baby section usually has some nice gift sets in. I recently brought a friend a little kit to do baby’s hand/foot print in clay which came with a frame. They also had money boxes, trinket boxes etc too

Food for mum and dad! I wish I realised how important this was for my friends who had babies before I had mine
I bought my friend Botox. She was thrilled. The baby didn’t need a thing, all about self care for Mummy I think 
You’re a great friend, I hope one of mine gets me Botox I’d be SO happy - after 9 months of pregnancy I’ll need itI bought my friend Botox. She was thrilled. The baby didn’t need a thing, all about self care for Mummy I think
This is a cute thread! Mum to a one year old & remembering what have been the absolute wonder products:
A loop cloth wrap - we had a baby k’tan which was £60 but you could likely find a discount code floating about or pre loved for
less. I have the best memories of using this in the first few weeks/months, although she was a summer baby !
An activity arch - priced vary but you can get various nice wood ones for under £50 - a really long lasting item they can use from being tiny and staring up at it / reaching for it / sitting playing with it / to walking and shoving it along!
White noise machine - I didn’t believe in the hype but it’s really helped us in the later sleep regressions and teething. A £20 one off Amazon is more than enough, ideally one with a battery so there’s no risk of it cutting out.
Obviously sleep and help are the best presents but pandemic mummies have been deprived of both
xx
ETA - things like shoes, dummies, teething necklaces, sleeping bags are all personal parenting choices so best to check in with mum first too…

Hi I know this thread hasn’t been used in a while but hoping someone can help give me some ideas my neighbour has just had triplets (all boys) hoping someone can help with gift ideas which would be hugely appreciated 
as it’s a neighbour I want to give them something but not spend a huge amount especially as it’s x3 lol any tips welcome thankyou!

If she’s just has triplets, I’d gift them an online laundry service or a take away voucher.Hi I know this thread hasn’t been used in a while but hoping someone can help give me some ideas my neighbour has just had triplets (all boys) hoping someone can help with gift ideas which would be hugely appreciated
I had twins in 2021 and I couldn’t keep up with the washing and there was absolutely no time to prepare food. We lived on takeaways and my friend paid for an online laundry to collect my washing and deliver it back to me for 4 weeks.
It depends if you’d like to gift specifically to the babies or just the family in general?
id have personally loved something useful like a food voucher/hamper of goodies to graze on during feeds etc. I really appreciated anything people bought my baby, but it was usually stuff he already had/I didn’t want/weird clothes 🫣. I ended up with an awful lot of stuffed toys and blankets so maybe avoid those. cute books are nice- I recommend ‘on the night you were born’ if you’re looking for something like that

Oh my gosh a takeaway voucher would have gone down a treat when I had my babies! But I think with triplets I’d be worried how I was going to get time to enjoy it
Vouchers are a good, safe bet. I always buy a book when my friends have babies with a message in the front - I think books are really sentimental
