Gift Ideas for Mums to be

Here are some ideas of gifts to give "mothers to be" along with links to where you can buy online. SEE ALSO MOTHERS DAY GIFT IDEAS.

Interflora The best for flowers and chocolates. A good idea is to give flowers that are already displayed in containers (as pictured), so they're no work for the recipient. Once the baby arrives Interflora do "new baby" flowers, see right a "Baby Boy" arrangement, you can also choose teddies, balloons and champagne to go with the flowers.

A mums-to-be Photo Shoot from BuyAGift with a professional photographer and makeup artist is a day of pampering and fun.

LastMinute.comDo great deals on hotels, theatre tickets, spa breaks, days out and more.

Laura Ashley do a selection of gifts such as candles, vases (& you need lots of these when you actually give birth!!), photo frames and more.

Toiletry Gift Sets or just some really special soap.  Crabtree & Evelyn have some beautiful gifts many of which are natural (so no nasty chemicals).

Magazine Subscriptions such as Prima Baby from Magscriber or prehaps just a single magazine.

CDs such as "Mozart for Mothers-To-Be: Tender Lullabies for Mother and Child" or "Ultrasound: Music for the Unborn Child" both available at Amazon

Books about pregnancy or babies.  How about Baby Watching by Desmond Morris or a book of names with their meanings.

For more unusual gifts try Treat Her how about a faux fur hot water bottle, a luxury pashmina, exotic fruit hamper, photo frame for pictures of the new arrival or wild fig and grape bath pearls. Every gift can be sent direct with your own personal message.

For something really unusual how about a "Nappy Cake" (see left). A "Nappy Cake" is a work of art as well as a useful gift. Each cake has a few presents attached for the new baby and the centre piece is a bottle of bubbly to be enjoyed by the new parents and help celebrate the new arrival. NappyCake.com also sell beautiful hand knitted 100% cotton blankets, gift baskets and first shoes for babies.

Gift vouchers are available from Fun Mum which does great maternity clothes.
