I have two female cousins who just gave birth (one to a girl the other to a boy - both very cute!). I want to send them flowers and a gift since they live in different states I wasn't able to attend either shower. I want to stear away from sending a gift for the baby and make it about them.

I don't have kids so I have no idea what a new mom would want and appreciate most. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm hoping to get something that they can use for themselves instead of for the babies.

Thuper honestly tho...

It AAAAAAALLLLLLL gon be about tha Babies.

Trust meh.

Do a double- an organic lovely scented body wash for mum, and a cuddly blanky for the bub.

Also, a butt load of cute washable cloths for spit and wipes.

They will love that 😎 and they will NEED as well.

Thats the reason I want my gift to be very deliberately not for the babies lol. Everyone is fawning over them, moms get lost in it all sometimes so I want to recognize them.

Thanks for the suggestions! I like the idea of bath/shower/self pampering stuff so I'll go with that along with a nice bouquet of flowers.
