Choosing a baby shower gift for the mum-to-be doesn’t have to mean another pack of babygrows. This July, give her something for herself too — a little self-care to enjoy before or after the baby arrives. Here are four pampering picks worth adding to a gift set or hamper.
1. Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Cleansing Balm 300ml
Turning her daily shower into a moment of calm is a thoughtful gift for any new or expecting mum. This body cleansing balm is a spa-worthy treat that’s easy to use and lasts for months.
- Formula: A hydrating cleansing balm powered by saccharide isomerate, antioxidant-rich padina pavonica algae and a trio of British botanical oils, clinically proven to provide up to 24-hour hydration.
- Finish: Transforms from a liquid balm into a nourishing milk and then a softening foam, infused with a signature blend of nine essential oils including lavender and chamomile.
