There’s a lot of stress as a new mom- your world completely changes in the blink of an eye. Josh has been the best dad in the world (I hate using the world help because he isn’t helping, he is a parent too, he just can’t do a lot of the things that baby needs right now but he does as much as he can). Even with having him, there are still a lot of stressors for a new mom that make great gift ideas if a friend, sister, or family member has recently given birth and you want to show them that you care!
Obviously flowers are always beautiful and a lovely gesture, here are some additional ideas that I have been either gifted or gifted myself (typical me) that I think would really show a new mom in your life that you are thinking of her. Personally, we are not allowing guests to see Oakley for 2 weeks to establish a routine for ourselves and I know many are doing that as well at this time- so the days of bringing a casserole over are somewhat a thing of the past (at least they aren’t a thing of the present).
Gift ideas:
- Gift card for meal delivery: door dash, uber eats, etc
- Grocery delivery gift card
- Candle
- Postpartum bath salts
- Coffee scrub mask
- Custom name necklace with baby’s name
- Fuzzy slippers
- Coffee sampler kit
- Fuzzy blanket
- Lactation cookie mix
- Solly baby wrap
Also- it’s important to ask how MOM is doing and not just about baby. This is something I never realized until becoming a mother myself! It shows you care about HER and how she is doing- it makes a world of difference!
I usually make my new mom friends a home cooked meal and one to freeze. I think it helps!
Thank you! I needed ideas my best friend is having a boy in a few days. ��
