Great gifting ideas for new moms

Are you thinking about sending a gift to a new mom? If so, then here’s a compilation of presents that will make her feel special, happy and that will be super useful to her too!

Food hamper

There’s no gift a new mom would love better than a food hamper. Pregnancy is exhausting and can take a lot out of a new mom. There are also going to be a lot of sleepless nights ahead and days of disturbed sleep. The last thing an exhausted new mom wants to do is cook fresh, healthy meals every day (if she finds the time in the first place!). A food hamper can help eliminate this issue and ensure that there’s a variety of food and snacks around.

Skin creams/ skincare products

It’s fair to say that new moms often have issues with their confidence. One of the reasons for this is that their body is playing havoc with them and there are countless hormones rushing around triggering changes. Which makes gifting skin creams and other skincare products to new moms a great idea! Moisturisers can help eliminate the issue of dry skin which is a common problem for new moms. 

The So Sona skincare range is a fantastic gifting option. Their Body Butter Bundle makes a perfect gift for a new mum. These whipped body butters provide intense nourishment and hydration, leaving the skin renewed and glowing, while also also reducing the look of fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation. Not to mention their divine smelling fragrances. The bundle comprises Blossom (with shea butter, jojoba and oat oil), Golden Hour (with carrot seed, rose hip and turmeric oil) and Evergreen (with avocado, broccoli and oat oil).

A mum-and-baby hamper

A mum and baby hamper makes an ideal gift for a new mum – a hamper with useful and luxurious products for both, a new mum and her new arrival. From personalised hampers to luxury hampers to the option of even making your own hamper, this is a gift that will be treasured.

An entertainment subscription

Don’t forget that new moms are probably going to be stuck at home for long periods of time. They will also be stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted. And will need something to keep them occupied during the long feeds. So an entertainment subscription service is a gift that will help them relax and get some much-needed ‘me’ time. You could sign them up for a movie streaming service, or Audible or even get them a magazine subscription.

Clothing

Finally, you might want to think about buying some clothing items for a new mom. There are two approaches that you may wish to consider here. You can buy clothing that will match the shape they are after giving birth or clothing that will fit them in a few months. Bear in mind that both options are a little risky. If you buy clothes that will fit them right now, then they might only fit into them for a short amount of time. If you buy clothes for a few months down the line it could be taken as a message that they need to lose weight. If you know what their fitness and weight goals are, then it’s a safe bet else opt for accessories like a scarf or jewellery.

The Leg-Master

After giving birth, a woman’s pelvic floor goes for a complete toss. But it is so essential for women to regain the strength and muscles in their pelvic floor, to protect against incontinence and other problems. The Leg-Master is a fantastic exercise equipment that not only helps strengthen the pelvic floor but also helps tone the thighs and buttocks and gives a full-body 60-second workout. I have one myself and it’s amazing. Read my detailed review of the Leg-Master here.
