Buying a gift for a new mum can always be a challenge as you don’t know what they have bought already or what they received at their baby shower, what you do know is that they are going to be busy, running on limited sleep and have a hectic schedule, so if you base your gift ideas around this then you should be onto a winner, maybe. Let’s take a look at 5 brilliant gift ideas for new mums to get your inspirational juices flowing.
Pampering Set
At this point, there is no doubt that the new mum you have in mind for this gift is ready for a little pampering and me time, but with the new-born around organising and attending a trip to the beauty spa is off the cards for now. That’s why a home pampering set would make a perfect gift, she can feel relaxed and rejuvenated in the comfort of her own home, with the young one never too far away, meaning she can truly relax.
Weighted Blanket
With all the joy that a baby brings into the home there are a few downsides, like the lack of sleep. If you want to be a hero without a cape then why not choose a weighted blanket as your gift? This invention is mind blowing, as soon as the blanket is on you you instantly feel any stress and anxiety slip away as you fall into a deep restful sleep, perfect for anyone who is struggling to sleep round the schedule of a new-born. And trust me, you will be thanked for this gift.
Mummy Bag
As the new mum starts to get back to her normal routine, well, the new normal, she will have more things to pack and remember that you would have thought. Before having children, a day out of the house would require 5 minutes planning, with children make that at least an hour and a half so a mummy bag with plenty of storage will be an essential accessory. But as this is going to be an essential, make sure you look for something stylish and unique to ensure she stays looking good, but remember that function is the most important quality here.
Matching Mummy & Baby Clothing
By now, after the baby shower and initial gift buying waves are over you might feel stretched for ideas, if the ones in this list that came before this haven’t hit the mark anyway, what about something personalised, and even better than that, matching personalised! What does the new mum who already has everything really want? Matching outfits for her and baby would definitely the answer. You can find the perfect garments and personalisation’s from Banana Moon Clothing meaning whatever text or design you choose you know it will be high quality, and most importantly, loved and cherished.
Non-Alcoholic Cocktails
One of the biggest cravings during pregnancy is an alcoholic tipple such as a cheeky gin and tonic or glass or merlot, but unfortunately this has been off limits for quite a while. Not every new mum will be quite as keen to get straight back to the bottle with the little one around but she deserves a cheeky treat, and that’s where alcohol-free cocktails come in. These delicious beverages can be made to tailor any tastes and you know no matter how carried away you get with them, there will be no hangover meaning mum can get straight back to her routine!
