Thoughtful gift ideas for new mums
When a brand-new person arrives in the world, the temptation is to shower them with gifts. We get it, baby clothes are pretty cute. But how about treating their wonderful mum as well?
New mums will appreciate anything that help them feel pampered. Or which can make their life easier, especially in baby's first few months of sleepless nights.
Here are some suggestions to elevate you to the level of favourite Fairy Godparent:
Treat her tastebuds
Our sister company Hello of Mayfair has some wonderful gift hampers. Its Mummy & Me Gift Hamper includes cocoa-dusted truffles, a bottle of Prosecco and an adorable teddy for her little one.
Is she staying alcohol-free? Then opt for the Movie Night Gift Hamper, packed full of tasty goodies. There are jelly beans, chocolate, crisps and chutneys. Who needs to arrange a babysitter, when a cinema night at home tastes this good!
Cooking up a storm
Bringing up baby and preparing meals can be a tall order in those early days. If you're nearby, you can pop along with a meal. But it's harder if you're miles away. Step forward new family meal kits such as:
- New parents meal boxes from Cook
- New parents seven day meal bundle from Pow Food
- New parents food delivery bundle in London by Chef Jen
Something for the memory box
Time flies in those first few weeks with a new baby. And it's easy to forget to mark those unique milestones. An inkless printing kit specially designed to record those teeny hands and feet will make a great memento!
Pamper to perfection
Any mother who is breastfeeding needs to check which essential oils can be used. Fortunately lavender, eucalyptus, rose, rose geranium, and ylang ylang are all suitable for new mums.
The organic No. 11 Goddess Moisturising Cream is a sumptuous body lotion. The ylang ylang and geranium within the blend create a wonderful spa-like fragrance.
From washing bottles to baby's own bath time, a new baby involves lots of bubbles. So much immersion in water can take its toll on a new mum's hands. The luxurious Baby Hamper Company's 'And Relax' Hand Cream soothes and hydrates.
Sometimes those nursery whiffs can be a little overpowering, especially near the changing table! If you're considering sending a reeded room diffuser, do check which essential oils are suitable. We think Mummy Loves Organic's New Baby Reed Diffuser is a wonderful choice.
Sending some floral charm
New mums spend a lot of time in the nursery. So why not send her some flowers to enjoy while she rocks baba to sleep?
Pretty in pink
Celebrate the arrival of a gorgeous baby girl with our luxury pink bouquet. The Perfect Pink bouquet includes beautiful 'Ocean Song' roses, pale pink dahlias and pink astilbe. White cow parsley and nigellas complement the pastel palette:
