Gift Ideas For New Moms
1 Personalize Jewelry
There are not too many women who do not enjoy a new piece of jewelry. Especially if it is a piece that will remind them of their child.
Below are personalized pieces that will either show their new baby’s birth month, name, or even a picture. All these pieces are classy and will make the new mom in your life feel seen and loved.
2 Comfort Items
The next gift idea for a new mom that she would want to be gifted is comfort items.
This gift idea will be for a new mom you know relatively well, so you can customize it to what this mom enjoys.
Grab a basket and fill it with things you know she will love.
Here are a few examples of comfort item ideas that she will love during the newborn stage.
Fuzzy socks
New PJs
Her favorite snacks
Blanket
Silk hair ties
Water bottle
3 Meal Delivery Service
Planning out meals while in the middle of the newborn stage is so hard. Helping a new mom by providing meals for them would be a great gift!
This could mean setting up a Meal Train, giving her gift cards to Door Dash or Uber Eats, or even a gift card to something like Hello Fresh would go a long way for the new family.
4 Baby Memory Book
Gift your new mom in your life a baby memory book. This is a sentimental gift that could go a long way.
If the new mom is more crafty you can go the scrapbook route or if your mom is not crafty a simple journal is the best way to go (both options are linked down below.). Know your new mama in your life and choose what’s best for them.
I also linked an adoption version of a childhood journal. Cause let’s not forget about those adoptive mamas out there! Newborn life is newborn life, but their life story will be different than some and this journal will best help write it out.
5 Custom Keepsake Box
Give a new mom a custom keepsake box!
You can make one if you are crafty like that or buy a big gift box.
This will be a place for the new mom to little mementos. Like their hospital bracelets, the baby’s first hat and outfit, and anything else she chooses to put in it throughout the child’s life.
6 Help with Home Cleaning
When we brought our newborn home my love language was “Can I run or empty your dishwasher for you?”.
With that said the gift of cleaning would be a wonderful gift to new parents!
Ask the new mama or new parents if there is any cleaning you can help with.
Help with cleaning kitchen counters, dishes, laundry, bathrooms, or vacuum. Anything will be helpful!
7 Postpartum Care Kit
The last gift idea for a new mom I will leave with is a gifting her postpartum care package.
(Tip: This is a gift to give to give as woman to woman and if you are close to the new mom. Otherwise, it could come across as awkward, so keep that in mind)
A postpartum care package could mean general postpartum essentials or even breastfeeding essentials. Lucky for us amazon makes buying a prepackaged kit online that much easier. I linked below some options that I think would be perfect.
