What shall I get for my pregnant DIL?

Such lovely ideas here, thank you kind gransnetters. I think a dressing gown is a wonderful idea. I'll check out colour preferences etc with my son and do that I think. Plus a nice box of chocolates. That seems to be a popular suggestion! She's quite a fussy eater so I'm not sure I'd get the prepared meals right although yes, that would be a great idea otherwise. They'll be such great parents - I'm very excited!

Offer to go clothes shopping with her, when she gets to the stage all new mothers do of saying that nothing fits her anymore. She's sick of whatever she wore while pregnant and the clothes she kept, hoping to fit back into them once baby was here, are unappealing somehow as well.

Congrats to you both. And isn't it nice to hear of a MIL-DIL relationship that works for a change?

How about a lovely facial? x

M&S have some lovely baby and children's clothes. I was there yesterday and wished I was 25 years younger.

You are under 40 Gabriella??? I thought the girls clothes only went up to 12yrs!

14 I think, PECS - not that I know any 14 year olds who would wear them (or even 12 year olds).

PECS Another 'practical' gift which I know some new mums appreciated was a weekly cleaner for the first 6 weeks! You would have to be sure that was something she would want!

My mum booked that for me for 2 months. Brilliant!

Jalima I consider know my DGDs (13 &10) do not consider M&S as a possibility when we go shopping!

No, the 10 year old won't either now!

Mothercare does toiletries for mums so you know they will be fine for her to use
