Something Just for MUM?

[Glass half full]

This is a beautiful idea! What a special friend you are.
This may not be the type of thing you're after, but I was given a pregnancy massage voucher towards the end of my pregnancy and I absolutely loved it! It was something I always planned to do for myself, but if a hadn't been given the voucher I know I probably wouldn't have gotten around to it.

Good luck

Actually I am organising for a dear friend of mine who is a qualified masseuse (pregnancy) to come to her house at the END of her baby shower to give her a pregnancy massage. Bestie will be taken into another room and pampered and we will all clean up for her (its at her house)...... Great minds

I got a jar of Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter. It was beautiful. Rubbed it daily all over my belly (well DH did as part of his bonding with baby) and I didn't gain one stretch mark!

The only other thing I received that was just for me was a necklace with a pendant of a woman holding a child. It was given to mum when I was born, and she handed it down to me when DD was born.

What you're doing is beautiful, NaeNae. Friends like you are few and far between

Definitely a good drink bottle, bonus points if it's a one that includes a filter - I got soooo thirsty all the time when feeding DD.
If she's a tea drinker you could put together a selection of herbal teas and a tea-ball (small infuser that you dunk in your cup instead of teabags).
A selection of her favourite small little nibbly things, a nice handcream and nail care kit. Gift voucher for a facial.

Sounds like you're an awesome friend!

LOL I just remember how exhausted I was after my baby shower, not to mention how sore I was from all the preggy symptoms so having some pampered down time will be lovely for her.

SOme other suggestions I have had through FB was cooked "frozen or freezable" meals .....

DO you think popping an extra card in with the invites, asking the baby shower guests to bring 1 freezable meal so they can have a good supply of stuff would be too much to ask??

Sounds like a great idea!

Chocolates are a must LOL
Drink bottle idea is great

The meals idea is nice idea and even if they don't or cant get to make something they could at least buy some frozen meals and or snacks stuff.

Meals idea is a good one. Ask them to label what the meal is (or take stickers so you can label them).

I think that's a fantastic idea Nae.
