Hiya

I've asked this on another thread but the date is fast approaching and I'm clueless.


I'm taking Saffron's advice (thanks saffron!)

and would like to get a present for my friend rather than the baby.


It's a little tricky (or maybe I'm over sensitive); she earns considerably more than me and I couldn't afford the beauty treatments, jewellery etc that she would be used to getting. I won't be able to treat her in that way.


Can anyone share their experiences of meaningful gifts (whilst motherhood was looming! they appreciated, perhaps irrespective of the baby shower context?

Not sure if this has been suggested before but I went to a baby shower last weekend and pulled together a list of things that I called random but essential for during and post labour that a new mum wouldn't necessarily get or think of. It included for labour bendy straws, flannel, magicool spray as so hot in hospital, pack of haribo and for post almond oil for baby massage, tea tree oil, infacol, lanolin cream and breast pads. You can really spend as much as you want but I thought it was more of a personal present with some thought behind it.

      I don't need you to tell me to 'fight against' racism.  I know what it looks it like, thank you.  And China would be our enemy whether we were in Europe or not (and has been for a long time), so that's immaterial.  I remember covering an EDL march 12 years ago, when there was a Cons-Lib Dem coalition, so the idea that this is a new problem is rubbish. BUT Reform is doing an excellent job of galvanising a minority in reaction to smug liberals like you, who blame the electorate's collective ignorance for all the country's demons.  What right have you for a moral mandate?

      Both Labour and Conservatives can remove the threat of a Reform government by making making two major policy promises. And these are .......... (1) categorically state that they will take Britain out of the ECHR and (2) Undertake to remove any new small boat arrivals to Rwanda or wherever else. Reform is basically a single issue party and adopting (1) & (2) would send Reform into obscurity. The country has had enough of our judiciary making a gold-plated interpretation of the ECHR statutes.

      You fight against by not pretending. By calling it what it is. Instead of slyly pretending they are not racist “actually”  recognise what the country is facing and say “no” why do you even need to ask the question?
