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.

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
