7 great gifts for new mums

April 4, 2022 by Catherine Leave a Comment

Motherhood is a rewarding, thrilling, and life-changing experience, but it’s also physically and mentally demanding.

The early days of being a new mum can be a time of huge personal growth, physical challenges, and emotional adjustments. Having someone to praise, support, and acknowledge your efforts can make all the difference during this wonderful but often exhausting phase of your life.

Great gifts for new mums

A great way to show a new mum that you care is with a gift or gesture as a token of your appreciation. Here are seven great gifts for new mums to inspire you.

This one is for the skin

New mums can develop skin issues during pregnancy thanks to hormonal changes. As well as being uncomfortable, dealing with skin dryness, itchiness, or stretch marks can cause a lack of self-esteem and confidence.

To repair the damage, new mums can pamper their skin with a quality body butter made with natural ingredients to bring back the glow that’s been missing.

Natural skin care products such as face masks, scrubs, and cleansers will help new mums keep their skin healthy and glowing post-pregnancy. A natural skincare regime can also help to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

A basket full of natural beauty items is a fantastic gift for new mums.

A healthy meal subscription

After pregnancy and birth, a healthy diet plays a big role in helping your body recover. But finding time to cook and eat healthy meals isn’t exactly easy with a newborn baby in the house.

Gifting a new mum a monthly subscription that includes ready-to-eat healthy home-cooked meals will definitely make life easier, while also providing a balanced diet.

A house clean

We all know that someone who has just given birth deserves time to recover, but for most new mothers, housework is a never-ending task that takes a toll on them.

Gifting them a cleaning service takes the stress away from keeping a clean and organised home with a newborn in tow.

Nowadays, several online apps cater to the demand for professionals who can perform household chores like cleaning and washing,  making it easy for you to find a local service.

piles of clothes

A new wardrobe

Thinking about the baby is fun, but a new mum also wants to feel good about themselves. Pampering her with stylish and comfortable clothing is another great gift option.

Many brands are focusing on women’s clothing for post-pregnancy, with the aim of providing clothes that help them make the transition back to their usual shape in style and comfort.

A massage

Being pregnant and giving birth is hard on the body, and many new mums experience tense and sore muscles after delivery. A professional therapeutic massage will help to relax their mind and body, while also easing any discomfort.

As well as making new mums feel better about themselves, a massage can help to stabilise mood and provide some vital me-time.

Body grooming

Post-delivery body maintenance and wellness are essential for new mothers’ well-being. Body grooming therapies like manicures, pedicures, and facials are designed to help women find time for themselves and get their bodies back on track.

Gifting a voucher for a pampering treatment will help new mums regain their confidence, and also offers the chance to spend some relaxing time focusing on themselves.

A break from the monotony

It’s highly recommended that new mums take a break from their routine to recharge on a regular basis if possible. You can help here by gifting them with an experience that’s designed to give them that all-important break.

This could be a voucher for dinner at their favourite restaurant, a chef to cook for them in their own home, a trip to the cinema or theatre, or simply a get-together with close friends.

Another option is to gift your own time to give a new mum a break. An offer to babysit will probably be very well-received, and is a thrifty way to provide them with the chance to treat themselves.

Do you have any gifts for new mums to add to this list?
