Having a baby is a life-changing moment that deserves to be celebrated. However, new mothers are also adjusting to so many physical and emotional changes. Choosing meaningful postpartum gifts that are practical and supportive can make a world of difference. Here are some hints for selecting thoughtful presents.
Choosing Appropriate Gifts
Focus on gifts that will aid her recovery and care for baby rather than just novelty items. Useful items include nursing covers, items for self-care like luxury soaks or a massage voucher, and essentials for organizing baby supplies. Avoid anything too fancy that may just collect dust.
Considering Their Needs
Think about her current needs. If she’s exclusively breastfeeding, pick gifts that facilitate nursing like a nursing pillow, pads, or tanks. For pumping mothers, consider a portable breast pump, cooling bags or storage solutions. Pay attention to what stage of postpartum she’s in to tailor your gift.
Gifting Experiences
New mothers need rest but also connection. Consider a gift like meal train gift cards so others can bring meals, or services like house cleaning. Experiences she can enjoy with baby like family photos or an infant swim class are also thoughtful options.
Including Encouraging Messages
Add a heartfelt note or include a book with empowering messages, poetry, or prayers for new mothers. Help her remember she’s not alone during this adjustment period. Gift baskets with encouragement cards allow others to send support.
