I also am not a pj or robe wearer and so those gifts fall by the wayside too. Pampering gifts I love are food either in the form of special treats for me or a gift card for food/groceries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-gift#post-2895862 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 11:23:43 +0000 periwinklebee 2895862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would vote a gift card from a food delivery service like grubhub. Or a little basket with a water bottle and some snacks/lactation cookies (if you know she plans to breastfeed). With twins, I imagine that she'll be feeding babies around the clock and anything that makes it easier to feed herself seems helpful. </p> <p>I feel like bath products postpartum are tricky, but my LO was probably uncommon in having super-horrible eczema that was made even worse if I used anything but cerave.... Sure most babies aren't so sensitive to what their moms are using... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-gift#post-2895845 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 08:51:48 +0000 mrsrain 2895845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite pampering gifts were:<br /> - A gift card for food for somewhere that delivers<br /> - a redbox gift card<br /> - cozy socks and bubble bath/bath salts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-gift#post-2895844 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 08:43:03 +0000 josina 2895844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As someone who doesn't drink coffee and has never ordered from Starbucks, I like the idea of the pj's...<br /> VS has these super-soft robes right now for only $25<br /> <a href="https://www.victoriassecret.com/vs/sleepwear-and-lingerie-catalog/victoria-s-secret-the-cozy-long-robe-1e27e0a5-5ca9-44ff-bf20-0ba151ab226c?genericId=11137355&#038;choice=46RM&#038;stackId=&#038;searchedFor=robe&#038;brand=vs" rel="nofollow">https://www.victoriassecret.com/vs/sleepwear-and-lingerie-catalog/victoria-s-secret-the-cozy-long-robe-1e27e0a5-5ca9-44ff-bf20-0ba151ab226c?genericId=11137355&#038;choice=46RM&#038;stackId=&#038;searchedFor=robe&#038;brand=vs</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-gift#post-2895843 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 08:32:06 +0000 graceandjoy 2895843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love a pedicure gift certificate!

I love them and they were one of my favorite gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-gift#post-2895796 Thu, 29 Aug 2019 15:33:09 +0000 Clementine12 2895796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to send a gift to a woman I know due with her first (twins) in December. It's a very loose connection and her registry is full of cutesy baby things, but I want to send a gift just for mama, for recovery or otherwise. Probably looking to spend $30 or less.</p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
