If you ever find yourself asking what the pregnant person in your life really wants for Christmas…you’re not alone.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and for those expecting, the joyfulness and excitement of the season is even greater knowing that soon they will be bringing a little bundle of joy into the world and will be able to celebrate future festive memories with their new arrival.
It is also a period of planning for soon to be parents, getting ready for not only the holiday season but for their new life to begin. As such, Christmas brings an amazing opportunity to deliver a really special gift for the pregnant person in your life. Here at Bluebell, we understand that getting prepared whilst pregnant can be both fun but a little daunting at times and that receiving a Christmas gift from a loved one can really help with not only the planning but being able to have fun and enjoy the experience even more – we know because we have been through this all ourselves!

Speaking of something to keep forever, why not a keepsake box for parents to keep their baby’s first scan, first haircut or first drawing?
You can keep it simple or even customise your box to give it that personal touch and make it extra special. A perfect little present to show you’re thinking about them and excited for everything they have to come with their newborn.
