It seems to be that time of year – lots of babies are being born!! Endless celebs have been seen with their new babas, with the question being asked ‘What to buy for the yummy mummy as a gift?’.

My biggest issue when I had a baby was that, as a lover of chic handbags, suddenly having to resort overnight to a huge, unattractive bag with bunnies on seemed quite sad! So, I have searched high and wide to find some ultra-cool baby bags and wonderful gifts to put inside – so you can make up a baby gift from as small to as huge as you want!!

Anya Hindmarch

Love the Baby Emergency Kit (£250) in Palma Grey – expensive, but perfect for the mum who has everything!

Oioi Baby Bags

This American company has some great designs and, particularly for winter, loving the Black Leather Hobo Bag ($250) – you would never know it’s a nappy bag!! Divine.

M Z Wallace

Another US find, The Latte Bedford Kate Nappy Bag ($390) is just so chic. It has everything, from endless useful pockets to changing pads, but all in a bag that is as trendy as the next ‘it’ bag for autumn/winter …

Shop Bop

If you fancy more of the Chanel quilted look, the Felix Rey Golden Child Diaper Bag (£239), complete with gold dummy hanging off it, is brilliant – classic and easy to wear. Love it!

Victoria Health

When it comes to filling the bag, go to Victoria Health for products by Yes To Carrots. It’s a lovely company – natural products and fun, zingy packaging – and includes some great baby and toddler wipes and a Soothing Nappy Cream (£7.99) which is 100 % natural. I’m also loving the Boo Boo baby range. (Pamper kit for babies on the go! good price at £16.99 and perfect mini sizes good for stuffing in nappy bags?)

The Body Shop

The Buriti Baby massage gel £7.00 and a snuggly baby bath towel £18.00 – cute to pad out a gift and as a little extra if a friend in hospital.

Mama Mio

Check out the adorable Mama Mio Congratulations kit (£46), filled with the tummy rub oil, body cream and shower cream as a treat for mum  …

Bloom and Blossom at Space NK

Space NK stocks a glorious mother and baby range called Bloom and Blossom – they do all sorts of lovely things from anti-stretch mark cream to baby balm.

M&S

Put in a few essentials from M&S – they do a great 5 Pack Cotton Bodysuit (£8-£9) in bold colours – really good value.

Three Lollies

This is a brilliant US site with all lollipops and sweets to ease nausea and morning sickness!! These Queasy Drops($5.50) are great.

Lillipops

Similarly, UK-based Lillipops Iced Soothies are fruity flavoured ice pops you stock in the freezer. Made with pure natural juice and flavours, they come in 5 different flavours. They are fab because they’re designed to alleviate nausea and the symptoms of morning sickness.

My Dummy

Bespoke dummies, with writing on – genius!!

Pookie and Peach

Pookie and Peach do some really fantastic bags for kids, with lovely colours and designs! There’s so many to choose from!

Daddy Scrubs

Finally, not forgetting the dads! Love this delivery room attire for dads!! DaddyScrubs.com has great gifts, too, like this DaddySwag Gift Box ($74.95)!!
