It’s that most wonderful time of the year when people have started pre-planning their Christmas shopping! There are the typical gifts for aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, parents, siblings, and kids. What do you do when one of the people in question, also happens to be a new mother? Don’t worry! We are here to help you figure out the perfect gift for the new mom-to-be! Whether the new mom has given birth or is due any time now, here is a list of 5 gifts that will be cherished and appreciated for their thoughtfulness and practicality!
It is no secret that new moms do NOT have a lot of free time on their hands! They are either busy preparing for the baby, or if their bundle of joy has arrived, they are busy fixing bottles, nursing, and changing diapers. No matter how tired we get as new mommas, we still want to treasure all of the moments we can with our sweet little miracle.Â
Journal
What better way than with this 5-year journal? This journal which is made by Chronicle Books, LLC and is sold on Amazon has enough space for her to write down a one-liner about every day for the first 5 years of her child’s life. The best part is the layout is made so that day 1 of all 5 years is on the same page, then all of the second days are on a page, and so on. This means the lucky momma can see what she wrote on that day in previous years! At such a reasonable price, this book will even meet any spending limits applied to your gift exchange. To order this special gift for a momma-to-be that is in your life, follow the link below!
Shower Steamers
New moms are always told to take time for themselves so they don’t burn out. This is always easier said than done! Help her out by getting her these amazing shower steamers! Made by Body Restore, these tablets made with essential oils come in different scents. Choose from Eucalyptus and Mint for relief from aches and pains as well as a refreshing feeling, and Lavender for relaxation and better sleep (in between bottles and diapers of course). The Citrus pack with a variety of three scents specially selected to give her that boost of energy to make it through the rest of the day (or night)!Â
The Eucalyptus and Mint as well as the Lavender come in packs with 15 tablets while the Citrus comes with 12 tablets. Either amount is enough to give her about 2 weeks of some daily spa-at-home time without spending more time than she normally would just to take a shower! This is such a nice way for the new momma to pamper herself without breaking the bank.
Massager
As I am sure you are aware, everyone loves a good massage, right? Moms with new babies are no exception. It is easy to get a stiff neck or shoulders when you are sleeping in four-hour shifts! This electric back massager will not only work out those stiff muscles with a much-needed massage but it also offers the relaxation of heat.Â
At only $49.99, this is a way to give the new mom relaxation whenever she needs it, no appointment necessary! She can adjust the strength of the massage, and the rotation direction, and decide whether or not she wants the heat. It is designed to not only be able to massage the neck and shoulders but also the back, waist, and feet! Anyone who has spent countless hours walking a baby to comfort them will tell you, that foot massages are priceless! Give her the gift that keeps giving.
Motherhood Jewelry
Say the new mom in your life is like most of us women who love our jewelry. What better way to celebrate the arrival of motherhood than with this necklace? Made with sterling silver and baby’s Swarovski birthstone, this necklace is a beautiful celebration for both mom and baby.Â
There are options for the type of chain and length of the chain in addition to the selection of the baby’s birthstone. Inlaid with two tiny footprints, this pendant and necklace set is sure to bring tears of joy to the new momma in your life. This necklace is a nice mid-range price and looks very flattering. Â
Body Butter
As women, we mommas tend to get a little self-conscious about our post-baby bodies. Not only have we been stretched to the max, but now our skin is weird looking and feeling! Help the new mom in your life gain her self-confidence back with this Vitamin E Body Butter made by The Body Shop. Vitamin E is known to improve the elasticity of the skin reducing the appearance of stretch marks and as well as helping to relieve any itching that occurs.Â
As a body butter versus a regular vitamin E cream, her skin will feel silky smooth after applying which will give her the sense of being luxuriously pampered! This little jar of indulgence is well worth the price asked! Take a peek at this awesome gift and pamper the new momma in your life this holiday season.
