Editor’s note: “The thought of doing a posh afternoon tea with a newborn in tow might be a bit daunting, but chose this scrummy hamper from John Lewis as her first Mother’s Day gift and she can have a luxury afternoon tea experience at home, in her pyjamas if she wishes!

Each letter begins with a different prompt such as: “On the day you were born…”, “My future wishes for you are…” and “Your first home was like this…” All you need to do is fill them in, date them and seal them with the included stickers and store them away for you future child. Though they’ll grow up, they’ll always be your baby!”

Editor’s note: “Royal fans will recognise this cute necklace from when Princess Kate wore hers to celebrate the birth of Prince George. It can be personalised with baby’s name or birth date and makes a gorgeous gift for new mothers.”
