Belly music


If you’re hunting for Xmas treasures for an impending baby mama, check out the web site Belly Gifts that caters for parents at every stage of pregnancy and beyond. We’re intrigued by one of their top sellers, BabyChimes, a sterling silver pendant hanging from a 34 inch silver chain. Throughout your pregnancy the chime moves across your belly playing sounds to soothe your growing baby. After birth, she’ll associate the sounds of the BabyChime with the comfort and security of being in the womb. All BabyChimes are handmade and come in several designs including this popular Big Heart shape. View this and other great ideas at Belly Gifts.

Sleeping beauties


If you ask any brand new mama what’s on her Xmas wish list, “more sleep” would probably take the top spot. Since you can’t control her baby’s night waking you could offer your mum chum that much-needed nap by taking care of her baby for a couple of hours. Or you could simply pass on that well-worn maxim ‘sleep when the baby sleeps’ and before she can roll her eyes, give her these gorgeous silk masks from Babes with Babies to persuade her. The floral embroidered sleep masks not only block out light but fill the air with a soothing scent to help you nod off. In case dad gets jealous, there’s also a plain black Man Mask to help him rest his weary eyes. Just don’t call him Zorro.
