Just back from the Mumpreneur Conference

Well, that's me back from the Mumpreneur Conference in Birmingham and I'm exhausted! Thoroughly helpful day, inspirational speakers and great tips from other mums in business working for themselves. I've met some lovely people and made good contacts and I'll definately be putting some of the suggestions into practice so watch this space!

Yet more new products!!

Well - I certainly haven't been resting on my laurels! It's new products galore over at www.bestbabyshower.co.uk. Now it's the turn of the baby bouquets. For the uninitiated, these look like bouquets of real flowers but are instead made from rolled up baby clothing made to look like flower buds, interspersed with foam roses & paper flowers, topped with a paper butterfly, wrapped in tissue paper and nestled within a cute living vase. All bouquets are then wrapped in cellophane & ribbons and an ingredients card. All bouquets come with a free handwritten personalised gift card.

At present just the standard size bouquet pictures are up on the site. Next in line are the large bouquets so watch this space!

New Product! Candy Box Socks!

Brand spanking new to our range are the fabulous 'Candy Box Socks'! These delicious little gifts look just like a box of sweet candies but are in fact baby socks! Each box contains 2 pairs of cotton baby socks in bright sweet colours, individually wrapped and contained within a clear box, & finished with ribbon & an ingredients card. Available in Boy, Girl & Neutral and priced at only £4.99, these make a great little gift for the new arrival.

At the Mumpreneur Conference this weekend!

Last few days before the inaugural Mumpreneur Conference this Saturday 3rd October 2009. Organised in conjunction with www.mumsclub.co.uk, this one-day conference is for mums who have set up their own businesses, offering support & advice and a chance to network.

Really looking forward to meeting all the other mums who I chat to on the forum and fingers crossed for the mumpreneur awards - entered for two awards and haven't got a chance in hell but there's always hope!!

Check out our new baby sock cupcakes and baby smoothies!!

Brand new to Best Baby Shower comes two more fab baby gifts.

Baby Smoothies look just like a delicious fruity smoothie topped with whipped cream but are actually filled with a soft cotton baby sleepsuit and hat, topped with a weaning spoon. These smoothies are then wrapped in cello and ribbon with an ingredients card.

Baby Cupcakes look good enough to eat! These little cupcakes are actually made from 2 pairs of baby socks nestled within a reusable silicone cupcake case and topped with a ribbon rose. Available either individually or in 4's they come boxed and are finished off with ribbon and an ingredients card.

Available in a choice of colours, both these gifts would make fantastic gifts for a new arrival, to take to a baby shower or to give a little something to a colleague embarking on maternity leave.
