New Mum Rescue Pack

Tomorrow I get to meet my friend's little boy. Still only 7lbs at 8 weeks old I am very much looking forward to cuddles with him. I miss mine at that size as they don't sit still long enough for cuddles!

As always when meeting a new baby I like to take along a little gift. I tend to stay away from clothes as I know that with ours we ended up with far too many outfits that just didn't get worn so I've bought him a cuddly rabbit and book set.

I also wanted to take something for the new Mum as I think we get left out. I know that we have bigger things going on when you've just had a baby but it's still nice to receive something!

With limited time and the inability to get to anywhere other than Tesco before tomorrow I asked on twitter for ideas and  a few people came up with the suggestion of a Rescue Pack. I loved the idea. A few treats just for Mum. Perfect!

So I bought these;

• Toiletries set. A soak in the bath is always appreciated.
• Selection of calming tea bags
• Lemon & ginger for tea when she needs a pick-me-up (every day with a newborn!)
• A mug with three owls, representing her new family of three.
• And the all-important bar of chocolate!

If I get chance to pop into town tomorrow morning en route to hers I'm going to pop in some lavender oil or spray in as it has a calming and relaxing effect and helps me & my children sleep better. 

I do hope she likes her present.
