Trilliumlady Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I absolutely love that I can come here and get this question answered 🙂 My SIL just had a baby.  She lives in London.  I’d like to send her a basket of food or diapers or ......?  They aren’t natives and live somewhat paycheck to paycheck but not in dire straits.  I think it would be more beneficial for her to receive food or something useful rather than another outfit, IYKWIM.  Are there any places there I could order something online and have it delivered to her?  Or any other ideas??  I can get more specifics on what area in London tomorrow and post cuz that would likely be useful.  TIA!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calizzy Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The store M&S (Mark's and Spencer) has really nice gift baskets. Not super practical but a nice treat. In England they call gift baskets "hampers." All the grocery stores do delivery too. Asda is their version on Walmart. You could order her some nappies and other food items. M&s also has a lot of meal kits- like meat, veg, and noodles that you turn in to stir fry. Could be useful for a new mom. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer&Mom Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Fortnum and Mason has really posh food hampers.  (They even ship to the US!) Tesco giftcard?  That was our regular London grocery store back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaNZ Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 After one of my babies I was gifted a bouquet made of fruit. It was the best postpartum gift I ever received. The website is www.fruitfuloccasions.co.uk  They do next day delivery across the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
