GIFTING FOR THE MAMA-TO-BE
As a mom of two, I’ve had my fair share of baby showers – not to mention the many, many baby showers I’ve attended as a guest. There is always an abundance of baby clothes, baby gear and baby essentials, but what about something for the mama-to-be? Some of the best gifts I received were not items for the baby (sorry little ones), but thoughtful items specifically chosen with mama in mind.
Moms need pampering too, and with all the late night feedings and sleepless nights to ensue, the few quiet moments a mom-to-be can catch before baby makes his appearance are priceless.Β So the next time you’re invited to a baby shower or have a good friend who’s expecting a baby, why not think outside the box and find a gift just for her.
I’ve teamed up with Baskits, Canada’s leading gift service company known for their creative and luxurious gift baskets, to share with you my pick for mama’s. They have such an extensive range of gifts for any occasion, filled with quality products that you actually want to have. Check out www.baskits.com to see all of their wide selection. Have an idea for curating your own personalized basket? Baskits can do it all, even helping you create a unique, one of a kind package personally designed by you! Did that shower creep up on you with little time left to buy a gift? With same day delivery in the GTA, last minute gifts no longer need to be stressful.
The basket I chose to review was the Luxe Serenity spa package, designed with everything a woman needs for a little at-home pampering. Now this is not your average spa basket with no-name products. This one is filled with luxurious, name-brand items such as (my personal fave) the Β Lovefresh 100% all natural body wash and body lotion. This is one of my favorite all-natural local brands and I was so excited to see them included in this package! Other amazing brands included are Lothantique, Compagnie de Provence, Illume – just to name a few.
Think you would love to snag thisΒ basket for yourself, or maybe you have a very deserving mama in mind that could use a little pampering? Well, I’m thrilled to have partnered with Baskits to give one of my readers this exact Luxe Serenity packageΒ valued at $225! Here’s how to enter:

Best gift i ever received was ugg slippers from my mama!
My cabbage Patch doll! They were crazy hard to find that year so it was a Christmas miracle to wake up and see one under the tree! I wish I’d kept her for my kids! Je regrette! Je regrette! LOL
The best gift I ever Received was a pair of heels that I wanted for years and year, they were sold out as I was told and was even more surprised to see them under the tree. Wishing you a warm & happy Holiday Season!
The best gift i ever received was my new winter jacket. I had just finished complaining about how brutal canadian winters are, and saw this coat that i really liked. I Didn’t think much of it and thus i left the store, only to come Home to see it On my bed. My Husband got me the coat!
Best gift I ever received was a simple necklace from my husband with tiny initial medallions for each of us and our kids!
The besf gift i got was a digital HD camcoder. My bf knew i wanted to get back into blogging and vlogging was on my to-Do list but never found a decent camcorder that was Small enough to bring around and could also be used for live streaming. He surprised me with one to help achieve my blogging goals π©π

The best gift ever….That’s a big question lol. I would say without a doubt my two little guys are my best gift ever….They are the gift that keeps on giving too. π
This is such a sweet giveaway- thank you so much for hosting! The best gift I’ve ever received was from my husband on my birthday. I thought it would be just a normal day in With is and our 5 month old baby at the time.. But after I got out of the shower his mother in law shopped up at our door steps (she lives 2 hours away) and she was here to watch the baby while he took me out for a dinner date. He laid out a dress and everything for me and just told me to get ready and that everything would be all set and okay and not to worry. It was the sweetest gift.
The best gift ever was on my 30th wedding anniversary. It started with 30 roses delivered with a note to be in my best dress for dinner. Then my husband took me out for a lux dinner and had the waiter leave a card 5 different times throughout the meal. Each card was a gift. Spending money, massage package for 12 months, six months of cleaning service, and a luxury cruise from spain, to france, monaco, and the amalfi coast of italy! Felt totally spoiled and loved!
