My niece has just had a baby, what can I get for HER?

How about a book entitled 'How to Bring up an Illegitimate Child' or 'Getting the Fathers Name for your Child' or 'Marriage in the 21st Century' failing those how about a packet of contraceptives.

Get her a really nice card, and put as much cash in it as you can afford. If you want to do something nice a bit later, make a prepaid appointment for her at her local hairdressers and look after the baby whilst she is there. When you visit,do some housework without being asked and don't take no for an answer. Tell her to go and have a 20 minute nap and be prepared for her to sleep for a couple of hours. Congratulations on becoming a Great Auntie, it's wonderful that you're all so young, that baby's going to have a great childhood!

Congratulations on becoming a great aunt. How thoughtful of you to think of mom. I agree with other posters that spa/beauty pampering products and certificates are a great idea. In addition the other great suggestions you could also try getting her a few nice nightgowns and matching robes. Something pretty will make her feel nice and are comfortable and make things like nursing easier. My sister-in-law just had a baby too and she also needed comfortable clothes that didn't require too much fuss. She no longer fit her maternity clothes but couldn't get into her pre-pregnancy clothes so maybe a few outfits to get her through this time would be helpful too.

Congratulations to mum and great aunt. A nice gift would be one of those pampering days at a spa. Not right now but in a few months when baby is settled into a routine and mum could do with a bit of a break and some "me" time. Book for both of you so you can have some time to chinwag.

I've found that what a new mom needs most of all is some time to spend on herself without baby pushing everything out of the way. Offer to baby sit for a few hours each week maybe so mom can go shopping or go get her hair done or even just take a nice long bubble bath without having to worry about baby. If she's nursing, she won't be able to take much time away from baby (only a few hours maybe) but even a few hours of quiet would be helpful. You can offer to come over a few hours every week (or every few days if you are so inclined) to help with laundry (babies make lots of laundry), help cook, help clean the house--just anything that'll allow mom one less thing she has to do. When my sisters and sisters-in-law had their kids they all said that having my mom come over to help out was a huge help.

How about some sort of day spa treatment? You could be as elaborate as a day at the spa, or as simple as a massage.

I would add to that the gift of baby sitting so she can actually take the time to enjoy it without it costing her anything to hire a sitter. Or worse, not being able to find a sitter and losing out on such a great gift.

Congratulations on becoming a great aunt! I think your niece would appreciates some stuff from Lush - https://www.lush.co.uk/index.php or The Body Shop - http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/index.aspx

You could also get her (if she isn't breastfeeding) a nice bottle of champagne. Some nice silver jewelry would also be nice. Maybe a 'mum' necklace? Or some fancy chocs from Thornton's. Bet he's a wee cutie!

Some gorgeous indulgent bath and grooming goodies ; new mums feel a bit knocked about and messy , so they need pampering , but don't forget to mind the baby for an evening , while she spoils herself with all the scented bubbly stuff and moisturisers !!

Wish somebody had cared enough to do this for me , it might have helped with the old post - natal depression , ha ha

Get her a nice basket of bath treats, or one of the treat baskets filled with things for tea/coffee.

She's 19? Dang. Is she going to school? Get her one of her textbooks, or spring for an online class for her.

Either scented bath stuff (which I got a lot of), or vouchers fro a hair cut, or massage. Something she can use to treat herself basically.
