A Gift For: A New Summer Mum
Tuesday 24th June 2008 by Shopping Mistress
Shopping Mistress  , the personal shopping and bespoke wedding gift list service - aka Gift Mistress - is ready to solve your purchasing dilemmas for those tricky friends, relatives and gift giving occasions.
A gift for a new summer mum.
Choosing a present for a new mother and baby is always a joy, giving us an excuse to buy tiny booties and cute baby-gro’s. But a new summer mum brings another range of gift ideas into play. Here are our favourites.
 The classic new baby gift – a cuddly toy – doesn’t come softer or cuddlier than Lenny Lion. Straight from the steamy hot jungle, he’s washable so will be happy out in your garden too. And it’ll do for both a boy or a girl so if you’re super organised, you can buy it the week before!
 Every new mum needs a baby bag to carry all the endless bits and pieces around.
But if she’s sworn she won’t be seen dead with a baby changing bag (however stylish they can now be) then Bill Amberg’s new Selvage Collection has a tug shopper that’s robust, practical and light – because she doesn’t need anything extra to carry.
 Having a new bundle of joy in summer means being extra careful outside in the sun. The new parents will have plenty of socks and bibs, but if they haven’t filled up on hats, then this cotton sun hat is perfect to tie under Junior’s chin when they’re out and about.
 And if they get the chance to catch up on some sleep in the garden (what could be nicer), they’ll need some shade for the Moses basket.
This handmade luxury parasol made of cotton and bamboo is ultra stylish as welling as coming equipped with tassles and bells for the little one to gaze up at.
 If everyone else is buying baby things, it might be nice to treat the new mummy to a special treat just for her.
All those killer heels will have to take a back seat this summer with all the buggy pushing and running around she’ll be doing, so a gorgeous pair of pumps from every yummy mummy’s favourite, French Sole, will be perfect!
