The Gifts New Mums & Mums-to-Be Really Want
Our guide to choosing the perfect gift for a new mum
The birth of a new baby stirs up much excitement for all friends and family connected to the precious new arrival. Shopping for the new baby can be a lot of fun, but also a tad stressful if the sex is unknown. So, while buying mini matching sets and soft toys may be a novelty, treating a new mum, or mum-to-be, can bring so much joy at an often very overwhelming time. We think all mums deserve to be shown all the love and appreciation at this life-changing time.

Bobo Women – Mama's Self-Care Set

The Mama's Self-Care Set is the ultimate thoughtful gift for any new mum—especially the beauty-loving girly girls. It contains a mini Self-Love Body Oil – soft and delicately scented. Dreamer Essential Oil Perfume Roller – to calm the mind and relax the body. Berry Blush Lip Balm – naturally hydrating with a shine, and a Goddess Bath Salts Bath Shot – for sensual and nourishing bathing.
Bobo Women – Nurture Body Spray
Envelop yourself in the healing scent of Mother Earth and allow the forest-like fragrance of Nurture to comfort, support and ground you. Glowing green notes of sensual, smoky vetiver meet warming cardamom and woody frankincense to create an intoxicatingly rich and earthy blend.
Sandalwood provides sophisticated depth while sweet palmarosa afternotes add a touch of lightness. A versatile day or night scent that will transport you to the wet forest floor, rolling green meadows and warm summer rain. The Nurture Body Mist embodies the earth sign element (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and comes with a beautiful gold foil Earth Woman Tarot Card.
Why Bopo Body Mists?
The Elemental Body Mists are an incredible natural perfume alternative & are crystal-infused. This mist is 100% natural and combines pure essential oils & precious absolutes to create scents that are anything but basic. Smell like a dream & avoid any nasties found in traditional perfumes. The Elemental Body Mist range features four scents, each created to represent one of the elements, Earth, Air, Water & Fire.
