This is such a great gift for any new mum as you are essentially gifting them a bonding experience with their baby. This organic baby massage kit contains only safe ingredients and no nasty chemicals, so that you can moisturise and condition your babies skin, whilst relaxing them with massage, the touch of their mother and the relaxing scents of English lavender and chamomile. In the kit you get a body wash, a massage oil, a body lotion, a nappy balm and a CD of relaxing sounds to play to the baby during their massage.Ally Pally Poems Personalised Fairytale Poem – £20, Etsy
This cute Etsy seller has a range of poems for boys and girls that can be personalised with a baby’s name. Not only are they great pieces of art for a nursery, but having the baby’s name within is a lot more of a meaningful gift and gives them something they can grow up reading.

This range of simple t-shirts for mums have a variety of humorous slogans on them. This is a small, local brand creating products that are affordable, creative and that wash well. This ‘go ask your father’ one is my favourite.Dotty About Paper Milestone Cards for Boys (Pack of 12) – £10, Dotty About Paper
These milestone cards are chic and stylish and will look great in photographs with a baby. There are sets for boys and girls, and they range from standard age cards, to ones created to Mark other significant moments in a baby’s development – from crawling for the first time, to saying their first word.totes Ladies Novelty Reindeer Slippers*** – £22, totes
All mums need time to relax, and these cute reindeer slippers will keep their feet comfortable and warm whilst they do so. As usual from totes, these are great quality. They also have a whole host of more simple designs, if reindeers aren’t up your street.Large Knitted Orange Diplodocus Soft Toy – £29.99, My Best Years
This beautiful knitted dinosaur from a small, independent British brand is just delightful. It’s bright, fun, soft and cute; so is something that all young kids will love.

The chocolates in their Desserts Collection have flavour combinations that are absolutely delicious. From banoffee pie, to key lime pie, there’s something to suit lovers of both the sweet and the zesty. There’s a good mix of white, milk and dark chocolates too, to suit all tastes.
