Mother's charm

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s Mother’s Day this Sunday. Aside from your baby’s birthday, this is the most exciting date on the calendar for Brand New Mamas as you celebrate the gift of life and congratulate yourself on your pain threshold. Why not step out in style and reward yourself (or get daddy to reward you) with a piece of wrist candy that represents your pride and joy.

Louloubee offers this gorgeous Birthstone Bracelet with a sweet daisy clasp featuring a mother and baby charm and your child’s birthstone. The bracelet can be customised to order and you can add more birthstones for other kids or god children. You might not get this in time for Mother’s Day but it’s never too late to treat yourself. Order at Louloubee online.

The Butterfly effect

We’re itching to throw a baby shower just so we can send out some announcements using these exquisite Butterfly in Flight baby favours. Designed from handmade paper by innovative stationers Botanical Paperworks, the card feature butterflies with their wings folded outwards as if they’re about to take flight. And in keeping with the metamorphosis theme, recipients get instructions to remove the butterfly, plant in a pot of soil and watch their invitation transform into a gorgeous bloom of wildflowers. Simply magical. Order at Botanical Paperworks online.

Love yourself

As Cupid tunes up his bow and gets ready to make mischief, it’s time to stop mooning around and focus on what you really want for Valentine’s. If you (or lover boy) are stuck for ideas, may we suggest a spa voucher as the gift that keeps on giving? After being literally consumed by your baby for months on end, you deserve some one-on-one pampering. Grayshott Spa is just one of many top UK spas that offer personalised treatments for new mothers and expectant mums (not suitable for the first 12 weeks or after week 36 of pregnancy). Their maternity packages range from a 70 minute session to 7 nights of pure unbridled luxury for you and a partner…with a price tag to match. Still, you’re worth it. Reservations can be made online at Grayshott Spa.
