Well, it’s that time of year again…. flowers and hearts everywhere and the pressure is ON. We know many new mums feel that romance is the last thing on their minds, but for all you fathers out there, this is a great time to show your girl how much you love her… and how much you appreciate her. Here are our 10 Valentine gift suggestions for the new mum:
- Give her the gift of sleep – Offer to keep the baby whilst she gets some well-deserved rest.
- Let her shower- (for more than 10 minutes); Allow her some me-time, you will be surprised how a shower that is not rushed helps with her mood.
- Get a take away- Suggest getting a take-away of her favourite food; it will remove the pressure on her to cook.
- Run an errand for her– Ask her what errand she has been postponing because of the baby and do it for her, whether it is dry cleaning, posting a parcel or buying some groceries.
- Get a sitter – Even if it’s just for an hour. It is unrealistic to expect a new mum and dad to have the energy to sit through a 3-course dinner especially if the mother is breastfeeding. A simple walk or ice cream date will do the trick.
- Rent a movie- Nothing beats sitting down on the couch and cuddling up to watch a movie especially if you end up falling asleep in each other’s arms half-way through. 🙂
- Get an online gift voucher- Going shopping is probably a no-no at the moment so an online gift voucher (such as “Asos” or “House of Fraser”) will go down really well with any new mummy.
- Chocolate and wine- Throw in a rose or two in there too and you’re winning.
- Baby memento – This needs some advance planning; Take a special photo of your new baby and create a mug, keychain or other memento through sites such as photobox .
- Home manicure- Many new mothers will not have the time or energy to go out and get themselves a manicure. So bring the manicure to her. You can take care of the baby whilst she is in manicure heaven 🙂
