Let me start by saying – this gift set is like a warm hug for exhausted new moms. I gifted it to my sister after her delivery, and the way her eyes lit up at the 'You Got This Mama' card made me emotional.

The 350ml glass cup became her hydration lifeline during marathon nursing sessions – though I’d suggest hand-washing it (learned that the hard way when the straw snapped). The oatmeal soap had this subtle, comforting scent that didn’t trigger her postpartum nausea – a major win!

Now about that 'swaddle blanket'... It’s more of a lightweight muslin wrap perfect for summer babies. My niece kept kicking it off initially until we discovered its true superpower – as an emergency burp cloth/stroller cover/breastfeeding shield. That lion-head rattle? Surprisingly durable after surviving multiple drool sessions and washing machine cycles.

The bath salts and candle created a mini spa moment during baby’s rare naps. Pro tip: The candle scent mellows out beautifully when burned briefly – just enough time for a stressed mom to take three deep breaths.

Is it perfect? The tote bag’s straps could be sturdier for diaper bag duty, and yes, counting the straw separately as an 'item' feels like creative math. But watching my sister use the mug while wearing those hilarious milk-demanding socks? Priceless.

This isn’t just another generic gift basket – it’s 9 practical items (let’s be real) that say ‘I see you struggling, and you’re amazing.’ Worth every penny for that alone.
