Gift for babies and new mums
(24/05/2010)

For something really special that will be treasured into adulthood and old age, The Handpicked Collection has found some real gems. If you struggle to stay away from the fluffy bunny when buying a new baby gift, check out The Handpicked Collection's new catalogue which has a wonderful section dedicated to inspiring and unique new baby gifts to treasure as well as presents for exhausted new mums.

The Baby Print Canvas (£14.95) is a simple way to immortalize a tiny hand or footprint while the My Life Story Book (£34.95) is a beautifully presented 100-year diary to help record all the exciting events of a lifetime. In these modern times of email, twitter and facebook it will be wonderful (and no doubt rather unique) to create a life recorded in the written word.

Other goodies to help record those wonderful baby years include a Keepsake Gift Box (£19.95) that is available in pink or blue and has designated sections for all your baby’s precious treasures such as the hospital bracelet and first tooth. While the Early Years Album Set (£24.95) will ensure the photos get off the memory stick and into these wonderful presented set of three albums – one for each of the first three years.

For something smaller and maybe more practical, the pretty Nursery Photo Frames (£12.95) that come in pink or blue gingham / spots will be lovely in any nursery while the exclusive handpainted Nursery China (£22.95) will encourage the fussiest eater to tuck in! To keep little ones warm, the luxurious pink or blue Baby Pashminas (£39.95) are gorgeous and the cute red lollipop or green lollipop Ponchos (£23.95) will prevent post bath chills and last well into the toddler years.

Most new mums just crave a bit of pampering, so the Bloom & Blossom New Mother Set (£39.95) will be greatly appreciated. Containing everything from facial spritz to nipple cream, luxurious bedsocks to anti-stretch mark balm this is the ultimate new mum kit.

The other thing new mums need is advice and lots of it, so The Baby Burper (£4.95) will become any mum’s new best friend. Written by a mum, this brilliant book is crammed with essential bite-size tips that no other book offers.

Finally for a bit of fun, the Wheel of Responsibility (£7.95) can bring a bit of humour into the relentless day-to-day sleep deprivation/nappy changing/bottle washing. And it will definitely prevent any sleep deprived arguments over who does what among new parents.
