Do you have a new mom in your life that you want to do something special for? Are you looking for a new mom gift guide to help with ideas? Many times new moms are gifted things for the baby or the siblings, and they are often forgotten about. Below are some great gift ideas to make that new mom in your life feel loved and cared for.
Gratitude Journal
Yes, that’s it, simply a gratitude journal. A place for her to jot down how she is feeling during the fourth trimester. Postpartum is so much about how the baby is that we often forget to ask ourselves how we are doing. Gifting a gratitude journal is perfect for the Mama that loves to write.
Gift Cards
Make it to someplace geared towards her. A place that doesn’t sell kid’s gear! Because yes, I hate to tell you, but all the mamas getting Gap, Target, bookstore gift cards end up finding something for their babies instead of themselves. A day of pampering at local spa to de-stress would be perfect!
Something with her name on it
It could be a monogrammed duffle or one of those 40 oz. water tumblers. Something that she needs that will also bring Mama back to her original identity. The bridesmaid’s section of Etsy has all sorts of cute things that would make a great gift.
Gifts that display her strengths
Brave, warrior, strong. It could be a bracelet, necklace, or phone case. Something to reminder the new mom who she is and what she is capable of when the days get tough.
Board games
Remind Mama that date nights at home that are interrupted by lullabies are totally cool. They just take a different mindset. A fun board game to make the new parents laugh is the perfect gift.
Hidden meanings
Search for Morse code bracelets. Grab one that reminds her of how great she is. Maybe get one that will blend right into her work and dressy attire for when she heads back to work.
Things that are soft and cozy
Everyone is wrapping the baby up in warm soft blankets, but the mama bear deserves some warmth too! Postpartum is filled with ups and downs of hormones so sometimes a new blanket is just what she needs.
Mom’s life and milestone labels for anything she loves
Mom labels are popular for wine but you could put cute stickers on anything the new mom in your life loves. Teas, snacks, special art, or scrapbooking supplies.
Subscriptions
The things we need or love… or both. I’m looking at you, coffee. These are the things moms always forget when they are running low on. Let something special arrive just when it’s needed. And don’t forget about streaming subscriptions because Mama may be spending lots of time watching Netflix, listening to a parenting book on Audible or her favorite podcast on Spotify.
