New mom gift basket ideas

[lia1303]

I'm putting together a new mom relief basket for my cousin's shower next month.
I'm thinking of putting a bottle of wine, some tylenol, and a few good one handed snacks (she's breastfeeding). Things that are specifically for her to enjoy. Anything else that you really wanted in those first few days/weeks that would be good to throw in there?

I got a subscription for Christmas and I was so excited. I haven't used it yet, but I'm glad I'll get to put all my pictures somewhere. I saw one of the books at daycare and its cute.

I just did a shutterfly book of the first year because I got it free with the pampers rewards and I love it. I wish I could put it out on the table for people to look at, but Declan would just eat it.

I swear he's part goat. Like 4 of his board books are missing parts of their spine because he gnaws them till it comes off.

A waterbottle (because major thirst when breastfeeding), comfy slipper sock things, chapstick, yummy fancy chocolate?

lots of snacks- I was always STARVING. I read a lot of mystery novels in the early BFing days because they are an easy read and didn't require brain cells so maybe a few used books?

Definitely the fast one handed snacks!  I was (and still am) in love with Luna bars because of this!  I have found they go on sale occasionally for about $1 per bar.  Maybe an assortment of them?

You know that grove book thing? I think its such an awesome idea for a new mom. Let's be honest, we all took 3754838858 pictures of our kid when we got home. Its only about $35 for a year's subscription.

I did this subscription for the first year of Z's life and I loved it!
