Gift for Mum instead of bub?

(I had this question elsewhere but will do this thread here and might get a quicker response seeing as the party is tomorrow)
I am going to a baby shower on Saturday and because I know the mum has loads of stuff from her previous babies I was thinking of getting a gift for her. I thought A voucher to get her toes and nails done afterward. Its just a thought...is this odd? I thought it might be a nice gesture but not sure if it is inappropriate.

That's a really nice thought. Go for it!

So not odd! I would have loved to have more pampering when I was pregnant!

Not a strange idea at all.. Ive always thought new mum's miss out and the bub gets spoilt.. what about some pampering for mum? lol.

I like the idea of a massage or facial voucher to

Ooh good! thanks for the quick replies. I am looking forward to giving my gift now

I think that's a fantastic idea!! Though perhaps just a voucher to a beauty salon so she can choose what she wants to have done? I've been given a voucher for a pedicure before and while it was a lovely thought, I just can't handle anyone touching my feet

Great idea...dont know any mum to be who wouldnt be chuffed with getting a little pampering

The best baby shower gift I got was a hospital pack for myself, mini shampoos, deodarants, toothpaste etc.

But I think any pamper gift for the mum is lovely. Especially once the baby comes the bub is showered with gifts and it's nice to know you have a massage etc to look forward to yourself.
