(Newswire.net — November 9, 2021) — Every new mom is bound to set up a registry for her baby. While these registries are certainly helpful to make sure you don’t show up empty-handed to a baby shower sometimes they leave out mom. New moms are doing a lot of the work with not a lot of the glory. Other than showing up with gifts, pre-made food, or offering to do a load of laundry, sometimes a personalized gift can make a new mom feel appreciated.
In the first few months of motherhood, many new moms will barely want to pull themselves away from their new babies. Buying them a thoughtful personalized gift can make all the difference. Being a good friend means respecting their boundaries while you celebrate their new stage in life. We put together a shortlist of gifts to make any new mom’s day.
- Buy the new mom in your life a few pre-made meals. Making sure new moms stay fed and don’t have to think too much about their next meal will make life easier. You could buy a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant, pre-order some meals to be delivered whenever they call or send them a trusty meal plan service. All of these options will be much appreciated by any new parent.
- A hand-drawn portrait or framed picture. If you are close enough to get your hands on a photo of a new mom and baby or just of the baby you can definitely gift this. Many new moms aren’t thinking as much about taking photos with their new baby as they are about just documenting their baby alone. Getting a good photo of mom and baby and framing it could be a really meaningful gift. You could even give a side by side of the pregnant mama and then the new mama with her baby. Any new mom will cherish this gift. Just make sure not to bother the new mom with your photo requests and instead reach out to her family.
- A personalized piece of jewelry with the new baby’s initials, name, or birth date. Buying the new mom in your life a custom necklace, charm bracelet, or engraved rings to show off and honor their new baby will be much appreciated. We love this idea in particular because a thoughtful personalized gift never goes out of style. Any new mom will love and cherish a piece of jewelry with their beloved newborns’ names or birthdays on it.
- A pampering set of skincare, makeup, or bath supplies. The first thing to go out the window post-baby is usually mama’s much-needed self-care routine. New moms have so much to do and so much to worry about that their usual relax and pamper time can get lost. Getting a special kit they can use whenever they have the time will be much appreciated. From bath sets with bubble bath, bath salts, a loofah, and some lotion to a post-pregnancy skincare kit there are so many options to choose from. Every new mom will appreciate this even if she doesn’t have time to utilize it for a while.
We hope this guide helps you find the right gifts for the new moms in your life. Whether you’re shopping for your wife, BFF, sister, or any other new mom these gifts are sure to make them feel appreciated. This doesn’t mean you should overlook the baby either though. Show up with a gift for mom and baby to quickly become their favorite friend post-pregnancy!
