a good friend of mine had a baby the day before me and i STILL haven't sent her anything :oops:
its too late to send by post from here so i was thinking of getting something from a UK website.
she was sounding a bit down last time i spoke to her so i want to send her something nice. (hmmm, not terribly helpful is it?)
so i wondered if anyone had any good website they used for sending pressies, or any good ideas for pressies. its her second baby also.
or anyone want to volunteer to pop over and give her a bunch of roses or something from me? :tongue:
all suggestions greatly appreciated
thanks

I bought bubbajack a really really lovely red and white striped blanket and matching hat from www.daisyzoo.co.uk (http://www.daisyzoo.co.uk) the other day.
Products are gorgeous (admittedly not cheap) but more impressive was it comes wrapped in a lovely gift box in tissue paper etc etc - which I certainly didn't ask for or pay for!
They have really lovely stuff on that site - hope that helps!
I really wanted a new blanket for bubbajack - especially as it's coming into the winter and he'll be wrapped in it every day!! Same with the hat!
Actually I need another blanket thinking about it and will probably get the breton blanket from www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk (http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk)
Probably wouldn't get flowers as, lovely as they are, I remember last time, our house looked and smelled like a funeral parlour for about 2 weeks (:doh:) Mind you, having said that, probably won't get any this time !!

Gorgeous site (Daisyzoo) Katkinn :nod: and yes pricey, but some of the stuff is to die for!
Bisy, they have some ready made gift boxes on there too, that might be nice?

BB although I don't sell baby stuff as such, I have some lovely pressies for new mummies, including gorgeous bath melts, some sleepy tea or a nursing record book. Hope you don't mind the plug but you may find something beautiful for her. http://www.beautifulthings.co.uk
Oh, and now I'm going to be really cheeky and say please bear us in mind for Christmas too :tongue:

LOL, I came here to reccomend Zwinnie's website, it really has beautiful things there.
BTW Zwinnie, I bookmarked your site and gave the card to a good friend of mine, as she was looking for a special gift:grin:
Zwinnie, I love your site. Have been a fan for quite a while:smile:
Shameless plug coming:oops: If your friend likes jewellery my site is www.morena-boutique.co.uk
For baby related stuff you could also try blooming marvellous www.bloomingmarvellous.co.uk

Zwinnie I have no idea how I have missed your site previously but I will definately be bearing you in mind at Christmas. It's lovely
BB there is also a Damsel who makes gorgeous taggie-like blankets (but nicer). I can't remember who it is ?? Who are you? It will come to me but the blankets are just soooo lovely.

Oooh, thanks guys - that's really sweet of you. Really do need people to spread the word!
MMM, great idea on the taggies - isn't it Steph103?? Whoever it is, I bought one from her and it was gorgeous so would definitely recommend.
