Garden Baby Sock Bouquets

Babies. They're everywhere at the moment. We've looked at what to wear if you're the one doing the tiny person growing but what if you're not and you want to buy a gift for mum and baby? The key to good baby gift buying is to make it pretty AND useful which is why these goodies from Garden Baby are perfect. Look at this one.

Pretty flowers? Pretty flowers made of baby socks! You get a muslin in this one too. They are always useful. And the bag can be used for whatever. This one is £32 and comes in other colours.

Been put in charge of the office collection to get the present for your colleague who's about to go on maternity leave? You might be able to afford something a bit bigger in that case (depending on how generous everyone is!). This Alice bag has a long sleeve vest, five pairs of socks and five muslins in  it. Oh and the benefit of a bag to throw toys or other baby bits in. For such small people, they sure have a lot of... stuff. At £85, it's definitely one to club together on.

If it's just you who wants to buy a little something, then why not get this muslin cupcake? Seriously, muslins really are that useful. It's £25.

Shipping is free on all items. They're a lovely way of helping out with something useful which is one of the best presents a mum-to-be can have!

The Yorkshire Soap Co.

Mother’s Day is fast on the approach (Sunday 18^th March) and you might want to start thinking of a gift this year. Of course, there is nothing wrong with flowers, smellies and cake, but what if you combine the three? This where the fabulous Yorkshire Soap Company come in handy. Their stunning handmade soaps are a beauty to behold; they are wonderful for the skin and smell as delicious as they look.

These affordable handmade soaps offer a sneak peek into the theatrical emporium that is the Yorkshire Soap Company founded in Hebden Bridge, one of my favourite towns. The shop is a clever homage to an apothecary of bygone years, with old medicine cabinets and bookshelves providing the backdrop for the impressive array of handmade soaps.

An indulgent cupcake that you definitely should not eat, you can find individual cupcake soaps with edible fragrances such as Fig and Cassis. Priced at £5 each

Or maybe your Mum would like this adorable pot of five BathTruffles. It looks so pretty you might not want to drop it in the bath. For £20 you will receive a handmade pot holding five different bath truffles, this is a perfect gift set for Mother’s Day.

If your Mother is a fan of feminine and pretty cakes, maybe she might enjoy this slice of soap cake. It is fragranced with rose and contains shimmer to make your skin sparkle. And the delicate flower decoration is so sweet. Only £5 a slice.

Postage is a flat rate of £3.75 on all UK orders. Bargain.
