New Moms Deserve Special Just-For-Her Gifts

In all the fun and excitement of the new little one coming, it's easy to forget the new Mommy, isn't it?

During the pregnancy, she's planning for her new little one and dealing with discomforts.

Why not prepare a gift basket with gifts just for the new Mommy?

The New Mommy Spa Basket 

Treat Mommy to her own Spa!

While you can use any kind of pretty container for your gifts, a low-rise oval basket or a gift basket box as pictured, would look lovely.

The new mom would be delighted to receive gifts she can use for pampering herself. Some suggestions:

*Bubble bath
*Scented soap
*Body butter
*Body lotion
*Bath salts
*Incense
*Scented Candle
*Flavored teas, especially relaxing chamomile
*a pedicure set
*a loofah
*a body brush
*face masks
*a bath pillow
*pretty slippers

Can you think of some more luscious spa gifts?

TIPS: When giving fragranced items, keep the scents the same (lavender, gardenia, rose). When including food gifts (snacks) with fragranced items, keep them separated to prevent the fragrance from seeping into the food item.
