What To Buy A New Mom This Christmas

We’ve all been there, its Christmas time or a birthday and we need to buy a gift for a friend or family member that has recently had a baby. But do we buy a gift that is going to be something for the mom or for the baby? On the one hand, the gift for the baby would no doubt be gratefully received, whereas on the other hand a new mom’s life will be so filled with taking care of their baby they can start to feel as though they are losing a bit of who they are as a person. 

With Christmas rapidly approaching, it is time to start thinking about gift buying again. And, you may have some new moms to buy for whose lives have been completely changed within the last year. Here are some tips on what to buy a new mom this Christmas. 

A Keepsake Memory Library 

Keeping the memories of when your baby is first born is important, and there will be plenty of milestones along the way that should be documented to. One of the best ways that you can do this is by using a keepsake memory library that has drawers for storing all of the precious artefacts from the first few months and years of a baby’s life. Use the library for storing a baby’s first lock of hair, their first drawing, their favorite pacifier, and then later their first lost tooth. 

A Family Photogtraphy Portrait 

What better way of celebrating being a new mom than by giving the gift of a family portrait from a photographer. Find a photographer that specializes in family photography and get them to photograph your children. 

A Bottle of Wine

It may have been a while since your friend has been able to enjoy a glass or two or wine. Let them relax and enjoy themselves by buying them a bottle of wine. Double check first to make sure that they are able to drink it, as many breast feeding moms will avoid drinking too much. 

A Relaxing Spa Day 

Why not take your friend with you for a relaxing spa day together. You could arrange childcare for the baby, and allow the new mom to have the day off. Then, you can completely pamper and treat her to massages and much more. 

Candles and Bath Bombs

A new mom is often on the go and rarely gets time to herself to relax. Those precious moments when a mom gets a break should be treated as special. By buying the new mom bath bombs and candles you are telling her that its okay to take a break and that she should be enjoying some alone time away from the family every once in a while. 

Time

There is nothing more precious than time when you’re a new mom. Offer to take the baby for a while to allow her to have a proper break. This will be a great present to someone who is constantly busy and will mean a lot.
