The Ultimate Baby Shower Hamper Gift Guide

Picking the right gift for baby showers is so much fun. I love to make special hampers for baby showers mixing just the right combination of gifts for baby and mum. You can display your gifts in a hamper padded out with bubble wrap and tissue paper so the presents can all be seen or you can cover a box with pretty paper and washi tape and pop all the gifts inside for a big reveal. Here's my guide to the ultimate baby shower hamper gifts to guarantee smiles from mums-to-be.

Top to Toe Treats Gift Tin

I firmly believe a baby shower should always include lots of treat for Mum as well as baby. This Top to Toe Tin from 7th Heaven is great because it includes loads of little individual face and feet treats Mum can use to pamper herself in the lead up to the big day. The tin is an absolute bargain at just £7.99 in-store or online from Argos.

And there is nothing more special for a mum-to-be than a little luxury. Olverum Bath Oil is a unique formulation of carefully selected plant extracts which provide a luxurious way to unwind and soothe away the stress. It can relax aching muscles and promote good sleep. Available directly from Olverum, £29.00, enough for 25 blissful baths.

I'm a little obsessed with candles at the moment and these beautiful Mummy Loves Organics essential oil candles have a secret - light the candle for 30 minutes to enjoy the wonderful aroma, allowing it to form a therapeutic pool of oil.  Blow out and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
