I know that similar threads are always circulating, but I've searched and searched and can't seem to find one to revive.<br><br>
I have my standard homebirth kit from the list my midwife provided-it's all sitting in a box so bland and ~medically~ looking. (mmm....rubber gloves.....plastic cord clamps......exciting.....) I really want to put together a special box of treats for myself, DH and babe full of a few "just the right things" and a couple "so glad I had thats".<br><br>
Any marvelous suggestions?<br><br>
I'm thinking luxury items (not price-wise kwim? but thoughtful or yummy or soothing or relaxing or whatever)<br><br>
Any ideas of things to include for hubby?-I know he'll be exhausted and euphoric and deserve some kind of pampering as well (you know-something to accompany the amazing transformative gift of fatherhood <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngbiggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="orange big grin"> )<br><br>
Rock on

we had a gc for a steakhouse DH used after ds was born :LOL he really enjoyed that. (he got it to go obviously)<br><br>
i had chocolate, good scented lotion/soap and a flax/lavender pillow and booties set that were great.

Nice bath stuff (gentle and natural that you can take baby in with you)<br>
comfy clothes for everyone<br>
maybe nice new sheets<br>
yummy food<br>
more yummy food<br>
someone else to do the work<br>
more yummy food....<br><br>

Real beeswax candles. (And I ended up going into labor with a lingering sinus infection so I couldn't smell them!)
