When you first welcome a newborn into the world, you are filled with joy and anticipation. The reality, however, is that there are sleepless nights and plenty of adjustments on the way. While it’s important to shower the new arrival with gifts, you may also want to look around for a pamper hamper for mum.

Give her a break

Now, if baby is just a few days or weeks old, mum might be too exhausted to do much. It’s time for dad to step up and relieve her of her duties for the day. Let her sleep in as you tend to your gorgeous baby and make sure that she has no reason to get out of bed. Get a cup of coffee or tea ready for her and take it to her in bed. Prepare something delicious for breakfast and, once again, serve while she relaxes in bed. Yes, you’ll be on diaper duty but it’s all worth it when you see how much she appreciates the day off! Top it all off with a special pamper hamper or something special that she has had her eye on for quite some time. The gift will depend in her preferences as well as your budget.

Get out of the house

If baby is a few months old, you might enjoy getting out of the house together. Start the day much in the same way and present mum with flowers, a gift or even a luxurious pamper hamper. Take on as many of the baby and household duties as possible while she is getting ready. Take her out to a place she feels comfortable and where she is happy to go as a family. For example, if it’s windy, she might not want to go to the park. If it’s raining, you might prefer to stay home and snuggle. You will need to ask her and pay attention to the weather.

What to include

If you are not sure what a pamper hamper should include, you will be pleased to know that there are plenty of options. Bath and body products are excellent for helping her relax. Some bubbly can be chilled for her to enjoy as she soaks in the tub. If she isn’t drinking alcohol at this time, you could always substitute with sparkling water or sparkling grape juice. Something sweet like luxury chocolates will also go a long way to helping her smile and ensure she feels pampered.

Remember that the most important gift you can give her is some time to herself. She will not really be able to enjoy her pamper hamper if she feels obligated to have a quick shower instead of a soothing soak.
