If you’ve been invited to a baby shower, or if one of your friends or family members is having a baby, you may feel that you want to bring along some sort of gift that will prove useful for them and their family. Having a little one is a big life change - whether they’re the person’s first, second, third or more. Every new baby needs a lot to be brought up comfortably, healthily and happily and this can be costly. Any gift is likely to be greatly appreciated by any parent to be. Plus, it shows that you care! You’re actively looking for something that will make their life easier and the baby happier. Of course, there are countless gifts you can get for parents to be. But here are just a few of the most popular. Each could prove to be a really great purchase that makes for a really great gift!

A TRIP TO SPAIN?

If you've been around here long enough, you'll know that every year the boys get to go away with my parents to Spain. They have a villa out there and it really is a home away from home, but of course, Covid seems to have other plans at this point and with the trip just over a month away, it's really in the balance of whether they'll still get to go or not. It's such a shame because I think we all know the only country that can't seem to get a full grasp on the outbreak is England, so to see travel restrictions being placed on countries with lower cases, but here we are and it's all a little frustrating. Ordinarily it wouldn't be much of an issue as the break is during half term, but because of the quarantine period upon return, it would result in both boys missing five days of school - something that we naturally would want to avoid.

CONFIDENCE BOO(S)T WITH BOOTS #AD

I think it goes without saying that 2020 hasn't really been the year any of us mapped it out to be in our heads, has it? I'm sure back in December when we thought of those New Year resolutions and the year ahead of us, we didn't think that we'd be here in August with not very much to show for it. It's been hard, even for the best of us, I myself would be lying if I said it hasn't been a struggle at times. Before lock down, I'd never truly placed much emphasis on self care and if I'm honest I didn't understand the importance of it, surely we're always caring for ourselves as a natural part of day to day life? Wrong. Being forced to stay inside your house 23 hours a day for the best part of two months really makes you regain focus and pretty quickly I realised how important making time for yourself really was. It doesn't matter in what shape or form that may be.
